Neutral Wedding Colors: Ivory, Champagne, Beige & Gold (With Dog Looks)

Short answer: neutral weddings look best when you layer two or three soft tones (ivory, beige, champagne, taupe) with one warm metal like gold, and use texture instead of bright color. For your dog, choose a bow tie or flower collar in ivory, champagne or gold, on a collar that stands out a little from the coat.

Why neutral wedding colors never go out of style

Ivory, beige, taupe and soft brown aren’t tied to one trend, so your photos still look fresh years later. They flatter everyone in the wedding party, they work indoors and outdoors, and they let the flowers, the setting and the people stand out. Neutrals are calm, elegant and easy.

Neutral palettes to copy

  • Ivory + taupe + soft brown: warm and quiet, lovely for barns and gardens.
  • Beige + cream + gold: a touch of quiet luxury.
  • Greige + white + greenery: fresh and modern, great with eucalyptus.
  • Champagne + beige: soft and tonal, with a little shimmer.
  • Gold + ivory: warm and glamorous, perfect for evening weddings.
  • All white: clean and classic, with lace, satin, linen and pearls for interest.

The secret is texture. Mix lace, satin, linen and fresh or dried flowers, so the palette never feels flat.

Champagne and beige weddings

Champagne sits between ivory and gold. It glows in candlelight and looks soft in daylight photos. Pair it with beige linens, white or blush roses and gold details for a gentle, romantic look.

Gold and ivory weddings

Gold brings warmth to ivory. Use it in small doses: candle holders, cake details, the rings. One gold accent on your dog, like a gold bow tie, ties the whole picture together.

All-white weddings

An all-white wedding is really a mix of whites: bright white, soft white and ivory. Hold your dress next to the linens and flowers before you choose, because bright white can make ivory look yellow, and the other way around.

Dressing your dog in neutrals

Every piece is handmade on an adjustable vegan leather collar with a silver buckle. You choose the collar color, and Ivory, White, Champagne, Gold, Silver and Rose Gold all work with neutrals. The bow is about 4 × 2 in on X Small and Small collars and 5 × 2.5 in on Medium and larger.

Tip for white and cream dogs

On a white or cream coat, an ivory collar can disappear in photos. Choose a champagne or gold piece, or a collar a shade darker than the coat. Our guide to collar colors for white and cream dogs has more ideas.

FAQ

What is the difference between ivory and champagne?

Ivory is a soft, warm white. Champagne is a light beige with a golden glow. They look elegant together.

Will a neutral bow tie look too plain on my dog?

Not if you add texture or a little shine: lace, pearls, satin or a gold accent. A flower collar is the dressiest choice.

Which size should I order?

Measure around your dog’s neck and check our size guide. Every piece is made to order and ships in 1–3 business days.
