It's 95 degrees outside in New York right now but it's never too early to start thinking about Fall fashion. Greys are a timeless part of the autumnal color palette and once again, showed up across Fall 2010 runways, from Marc Jacobs' heathered wool dresses to full-skirted tea length dresses at Prada. It's really not the drab color that you think it might be -- from frosty silvers to matte gunmetal, greys can lend a sophisticated elegance to your wedding color scheme. Grey bridesmaids dresses are also a wonderful backdrop for a pop of color: accent these dresses with fiery oranges and hot pink in your bouquets and accessories.
