Red is a good accent for the gray, or a royal blue. But, as the above poster noted, the color of the bridesmaids dresses need to be considered.

Last wedding I attended, the bridesmaids wore simple but pretty black dresses with red trim, and they looked very, very nice. If this is what your bridesmaids will wear, considering for the men in black shirts with the gray tux, with red ties.

Winter wedding, deep teal with the light gray and a natural white (not a bright white). Spring wedding, also a natural white, lilac/lavender, the light gray and touches of kelly green. Summer wedding, light gray, bright white and strawberry red.

I want a black and white wedding theme for my wedding. It's simple yet sophisticated and modern. I also want a Disney's fairly tale wedding theme. Imagine the bride will arrive in Cinderella's glass coach. Mickey and Minnie Mouse will greet the couples at the reception.

My wedding colors were black, white, red, and silver. Our wedding was in early December, and the church and hotel were already decorated for Christmas. Red poinsettas at the church, and white-flocked trees decorated in red and silver at the hotel. A happy accident.

Red looks wonderful with grey, but if you don't like it, just start with the bridesmaids dresses. Find something you like that will flatter your attendants, or pick a color that works well and let them find something. Grey is fairly neutral, so you could choose almost anything from a cool lemony yellow to a deep pink to almost any shade of purple. Teal is good too, as weezy suggested.
