Trendy acid yellow is a very unique color (especially for weddings!) but if done right, it can look very elegant and sophisticated.
Acid Yellow & Gray:
Pair acid yellow (a neon yellow color with spring green undertones) with an equally trendy neutral (like gray or ivory) for a funky, modern color scheme that will have your guests beyond impressed with your color pairing skill.
Acid yellow is an unexpected autumn color because it's much cooler than the typical fall yellows (which tend toward warm golds and mustard shades) - but like many great colors, it can be found just as readily in nature as more traditional options. Leaves that change colors too late in the season might not get the opportunity to completely switch from green to yellow before they fall off their branches, giving them a unique acid yellow wash. Another interpretation of acid yellow in nature? The cool green undertone both hints at the coming winter (bitter cold and at times sour in demeanor) and the hopeful spring waiting to bloom again the next year (the fresh yellow-green of the first-budding plants).
Of course, a little neon goes a long way. Tone down glaring acid yellow with plenty of neutral decor. Gray is a great choice because it also has cool undertones (which instantly relate back to the yellow), while still being a solid neutral guests are familiar - and comfortable - with.
