Yellow and Gray for a Wedding?

Having a brightly themed wedding during the peak winter season in the southern hemisphere, in July with rain, hail and wind, was a reminder to ourselves of the yellow ball in the sky that sometimes likes to grace our lives. Steve and Anne thought a pretty yellow and grey wedding colour palette would be just the thing to cheer us up and inspire some fun wedding planning!

Yellow and grey are one of my absolute favorite wedding color schemes, so I was so excited when our client sent over these chic yellow and gray wedding inspirations! This is quite a modern colour combination, but Julia Elyse’s classy and sophisticated style incorporated them beautifully – and of course Hip Events always designs fabulous weddings! This one had a lovely combination of crystal chandeliers, silver bottles, and mason jars… absolutely gorgeous! The adorable couple Steve and Anne were delighted with how this beautiful wedding came together!

Their wedding ceremony was held in a historic, vintage colonial church in Northcote, Auckland. Hip Events provided the backdrop for the ceremony: simple but elegant glass candelabras with silver candles adorned the chapel, the aisle was aligned with cylinder vases with diamond encrusted sashes filled with lemons adding some zestiness to the affair. The entrance was just stunning with gigantic floral combinations created a dramatic entry for the guests and bride. Three Kings International Restaurant served as the venue for the reception dinner, as well as catering the event with fine Filipino cuisine.  The design team helped decorate the entire venue with luxurious yet intimate details on the banquet tablescape to fulfill the newly-weds every dream.

If you want understated elegance with a pop of color for your wedding, then we highly recommend a chic gray and yellow palette! A blend of slate, charcoal, dove gray or even silver tones with sunshiny golden yellow can go anywhere from playful and outdoorsy to hip and trendy. Here, we showcase how this lovely pairing can use patterns and charming florals to give a mod spin to a sophisticated wedding scene. Definitely one of our favorite looks!
