Gray and yellow was quite the popular color scheme. It’s chic and modern, yet fun and light! Perfect for any wedding day!
Check out a few other gray & yellow weddings we worked on! Whitney and Chris at the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel, and Julie and Mike at the Oak Canyon Nature Preserve in Anaheim.
But here is a beautiful and simple gray and yellow wedding fully designed and executed by yours truly, A Good Affair! Thanks to Kenny Grill Photography for taking the time to come out and capture these wonderful details for us!
We designed a combination of high and low centerpieces, spread throughout the room. We accented the king’s table with both heights and a mix of candles to give it extra interest. Cut lemons lined the short centerpieces, while whole lemons filled the tall.
Beautiful blooms of yellow and white orchids adorned the curly willow branches. The curling branches giving the relatively static piece a more organic feel and natural movement.
We choose to go with white chivari chairs and cushions to give the satin gray linens and canary yellow napkins a nice contrast. The white chairs were a nice clean and crisp statement in and of itself as well!
The bride is a teacher so she included these adorable signs and mini chalkboards as her table numbers.
We came up with this fun way to setup escort cards. Run various ribbons across an empty picture frame and attach the cards using tiny clothespins!
The reception space had a small stage, so we setup the cake and the candy buffet there as a nice focal point. In keeping with the gray and yellow, we did the same for the candy. Gray candy is hard to find without it being M&Ms or metallic. But we did good on this one! The bride loved it and got all her favorite candies in! The wooden crates really tied together well with the table signs, and were still a nice clean look.
Hand fluffed tissue pompoms hung as a full backdrop behind the candy station. A real treat to also have had a mirror behind it too! It added nice depth to the entire setup. We love the touch of whimsy these pompoms add! It looks much like the white and yellow mums used in the low centerpieces.
A matching cake by Simply Sweet Cakery. Simple and clean lines with gray ribbon, fresh flowers, and fresh cut lemons. Adorable!
We had a blast coming up with these ideas and then seeing them come to life for the big day! We hope you enjoyed this journey into A Good Affair’s event design! Let us know if we can help you plan your next big event! We love taking on new ideas and challenges!

A Good Affair is not only passionate about planning impeccable weddings but we LOVE creating fabulous design for all of our client’s events! In the spirit of this passion we are launching a new series on the blog all about just that- Haute Design Inspiration.
To kick this off we want to share one of the hottest trends for 2011~ Metallics! Everything looks good in metallics: cars, shoes, purses, dresses, the list goes on. So what better than a wedding to use this regal palette. You might not think that you can mix metallics but if done the right way it is very chic. So often brides and grooms pick silver or gold as an accent for color palette but why not mix them together or add pewter, copper, ect. to it.
We enjoyed the Wedding Luncheon at The Special Event Show in Phoenix at the beginning of the year. The theme was In Love With Metallics. We want to share them with you to help you visualize this awesome trend and get inspired.
Take a look:
Every row of tables was designed with a different metallic palette- this would be awesome for your event to create a different feel throughout the reception and keep you away from the “uniform” look.
To further the look- use different arrangements on the tables- for larger weddings you could have 3 or 4 looks that you repeat throughout the room. You can take it a step further and use different china and silver with each “look” too (FYI- this will require a large budget).
Gold Inspiration
Bronze Beauty
And the always Fabulous Silver.
Here are a couple amazing floral design shots for some inspiration for any event! I just love these vases that the florists used- I actually have a white quilted vase like the ones above and I get a ton of compliments on it.
We hope that you enjoy this inspiration- stay tuned for more to come on our exciting new series, enjoy!
