Orange and Gray Wedding Invitation Ideas

When I posted about this orange and gray wedding over the weekend, a reader commented that she was considering the same palette for her wedding and was trying to figure out if the color combination would work.Â So I thought I’d look around for some additional orange and gray inspiration to see if I could help out.Â Here’s what I found:

{orange and gray “Havana” invitations by Kenzie Kate}

{orange wedding invitations by Darling Dexter}

{orange and gray letterpress invitation by Smock}

{orange and green poppy invitations by Sarah Parrot}

{orange flower invitations by Jennifer Sutherland}

What about anyone else?Â Are you considering a color palette but need more inspiration?Â Let me know in the comments and I’ll see what I can find!

A Gray and Orange Wedding

I love these orange poppy invitations created by Ephemera Press for a July wedding in Washington State. I'm sure the bride & groom were hoping for cloudless, sunny skies on their wedding day, but I love the contrast between the bright colors, particularly the orange of the invitations and flowers, with the overcast skies:

Real Invitations – Robin Rosenthal

This one is a bit of an oldie, but a {really, really} goodie.Â These fabulously fun yet simple invitations are from the May 2005 wedding of Robin Rosenthal and Matt Hall featured in the Winter 2006 edition of Martha Stewart Weddings:

The invitations themselves are so wonderfully creative, but then there are all of the wedding details:
