Updated Jul 16, 202444 Gray Bridesmaid Dresses in All Your Favorite Shades
This cool neutral color is hot right now. Dark gray bridesmaid dresses? Light gray bridesmaid dresses? We've got them all and everything in-between.
There's a reason why gray is quickly becoming one of the most popular wedding colors: It makes any color palette feel instantly sophisticated, and it's soft enough not to feel overpowering. That's also why gray bridesmaid dresses, more specifically, are taking the wedding world by storm.
From über-chic blue and purplish slate to trendy greige (think: a pretty combination of gray and beige), the hues work with a variety of fabrics and are also perfect for mismatched bridal parties. Opt for charcoal sequins for an ultra-glam feel or go for ethereal dove gray for a more bohemian vibe. Whether you choose dark gray bridesmaid dresses, light gray bridesmaid dresses or any of the many shades in-between, your side of the aisle will be a hit.
