Common Colors
Both gray and merlot are easy colors to shop for. You’ll find plenty of options when looking for wedding invitations, bridal party attire, reception linens and decorations. Merlot is an excellent color when it comes to choosing flowers. You can find flowers as cheap as gerbera daisies or as expensive as roses.
Make a Splash
Choosing gray as your neutral makes adding splashes of color a breeze! Merlot flowers against a gray tablecloth and merlot ties with gray suits are just a few examples of how beautifully this rich red hue stands out against a simple neutral color. The Weathered Lace Invitation with Free Response Postcard is another very pretty example featuring a gray, weathered wood background and merlot wedding wording.
