Bridesmaids dressed in rich charcoal gray, wrapped in luxurious light gray shawls or stoles celebrate the season; while your gray and white bouquet can looks almost frozen in beauty, utilizing eucalyptus leaves or gray berries to evoke visions of ice-tinged winter landscapes. For a more vintage and romantic look to for your bouquets and centerpieces, consider unique gray roses for a touch of grace.
