Silver wedding dress! But what goes with it?

Our colour scheme is dark raspberry pink and silver. I'm wearing ivory bridesmaids in the pink, boys in black / grey suits with grey waistcoat and silver tie, flower girls in ivory and pink, MOB in shades of grey and silver. Our wedding is November. I was originally going to have charcoal grey bridesmaids with just the pink flowers, but decided to brighten things up a bit by bringing in more colour.

Silver looks amazing with hot pinks, blues and vibrant reds. A lot depends on the skin tone of your bridesmaids as to whether they would be able to 'carry off' shades of grey. Grey is a bit like black and white in that on the wrong skin tone, it is very ageing. You could have the bridesmaids in ivory with a silver sash and use other colours to accent the wedding theme.

Ivory with a silver sash sounds lovely.. that's what I'd do.

I think if the littlies were in silver then it would be too much - an accent of your colour would be perfect and you can get lovely little silver shoes too..

Have a look at Phoebe's wedding from Friends. Her dress was gorgeous and she mattched with bright flowers

My wedding dress is a silvery blue colour and my bridesmaids are in midnight blue..wintery, flattering and elegant :-) xxx

I'm another that thinks ivory with silver sash for the bm's would be lovely :-)

Can I be nosey and ask you to flash or link your dress? I'm so intrigued to see it!

Midnight blue would look lovely with the silver and you could have shades of grey too, right down to a very light, almost ivory, grey. The silver can be your accent colour so could be sashes on the FG, grooms cravat etc. If you want another colour then the raspberry pink someone suggested would be amazing against the blue and would go with silver.

Hi thanks for all your suggestions,,, for those who want a look, the dress is a trudy lee style 59105 with a gorgeosus bubble hem, i love it despite the subsequent headaches it is now giving me!

thanks again

Hi,

Pink, either pastel or vibrant would go with silver or mocha neutral tones. actually most colours will go with it. Why not take a swatch of something similar to your dress colour around with you to try it against things.

Hope this helps

I don't think a silver dress is any more limiting than a white or ivory gown but a vibrant colour would look gorgeous and I don't think just because it's winter you need to have darker colours. The suggestion of a dark raspberry with the grey suits would be stunning.
