Gray lehngas and saris aren’t new. I remember scrolling through IG feeds for Zardozi Couture and Poonam’s Kaurture (okay, all the coutures) a couple of years ago and stopping in my mid-scroll tracks—their gray designs were stunning. 

 

Did I love the look of gray South Asian formal wear? Yes! Was I entirely convinced that gray was a great bridal color? Not then. Now? I’m singing a different tune.

 

Yes, Pantone’s color of the year jedi mind tricks certainly have something to do with it. But even without their influence, gray is a great color.

 

It’s an unexpected, elegant choice for bridal and groomswear that’ll look amazing with whatever color palette you choose. And you can go all out with embellished gray threads, or keep it simple with a printed pattern.
