As I write this, it is February 16, 2021, almost a year after the Covid 19 pandemic started impacting my life. I’m sure many/most of you are also feeling the effects of pandemic fatigue, too. It certainly didn’t help my Fibromyalgia, and if anything, made it worse from the steady and unrelenting stress.
I was relieved to see the start of 2021, with the promise of a vaccination on the horizon. I know we are not out of the woods yet, but there is hope that things will slowly be improving this year.
Pantone’s 2021 Colors of the Year
I think that is why I liked the Pantone 2021 colors so much. They chose two colors: Illuminating (yellow) and Ultimate Gray (gray) which they say is: “A marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.”
That is exactly the way I viewed those two colors, as well. They paired a sunny, hopeful, cheerful color with one of enduring strength and fortitude, which I think is perfect for the weeks and months ahead until we return to some semblance of normality.
With these two Pantone colors in mind, I decided to redesign several of my popular wedding invitation designs to use the yellow and gray color scheme in hopes that others are planning their weddings with the same hope and strength that these colors evoke.
In addition to the merits of the yellow and gray colors noted above, I think they also make lovely choices for spring and summer weddings, or even fall weddings utilizing sunflowers or wheat.
Personally, I love seeing groomsmen wearing grey suits. I think they look so dapper, and of course, the bridesmaids all dressed in shades of yellow or yellow floral print dresses would be stunning on a sunny wedding day.
A simple online search of “yellow and grey wedding colors” will show you that you can create an informal, casual look or a more distinguished, elegant look just by the suits you choose, the colors of the bridesmaid dresses (yellow, steel gray, or silver), and the flowers you select for bouquets.
Whimsical is also an option if you find some cute yellow shoes for the ladies and yellow suspenders and bow ties for the men.
I think it would be so fun and exciting to be planning a wedding around these two colors of yellow and grey.
The wedding cake practically bakes itself too! Couldn’t you just imagine diving into a moist and lemony fresh confection on a hot summer day? Serve up gallons of homemade lemonade at a quaint outdoor shindig or whip up a signature drink like banana daiquiris for a more upscale event.
Planning ways to add hits of warm and sunny yellow to brighten everyone’s day is sure to be a lot of fun and will keep everyone cheerful as they go about helping you with your special day.

I designed all these to be affordable, standalone invitations that don’t require any separate enclosure cards, however, if you would like me to design matching RSVP or details cards to go with any of the designs you see, drop me an email request or contact Lemon Leaf Prints customer service with your request and I’d be happy to make up whatever you need from return address labels, RSVP cards or postcards, save the date cards or magnets, accommodations cards, thank you notes, place cards, wedding program or signage, favor tags or stickers, or photo thank you cards to send to all your guests.
I can even design matching masks and hand sanitizers in your wedding colors through my Zazzle store, along with a huge variety of other wedding needs from guestbooks to attendant gifts.
