Trends of 2009 – The Color Gray
The fashion runways walked it and the bridal magazines made it official – gray is the new brown for weddings in 2009! While I still love brown and you should too…gray switches the color palette to cooler tones. It’s one of my personal favs :) Even though gray is a cool tone, it doesn’t mean you can’t spice it up! There are a wide variety of color combinations you can chose from but the added bonus with this trend….is that you can mix and match colors that you never thought would go! Brights, pastels, monochromatic – you can’t go wrong. And keep in mind, gray comes in all tones and variations such as a lavender or pewter (adding a touch of purple or blue to it). So think out of the box!! My fav new combo – lavender and red! More color combinations…

me: i loove gray
other people: you’re such an architect!
