Jewel-Tone Wedding Colors: Emerald, Navy & Burgundy (With Dog Looks)

Short answer: jewel-tone weddings use deep, rich colors like emerald, navy (sapphire) and burgundy (ruby), with gold and ivory to keep them bright. Pick one jewel tone as your main color and use it for your dog’s bow tie, on a neutral or gold collar.

Why jewel tones feel so special

Deep colors feel formal, warm and luxurious. They shine in candlelight, suit fall and winter, and make every photo look rich. A little gold makes them glow.

Emerald and gold

• Emerald + gold + ivory: rich and festive.
• Emerald + blush: bold with a soft touch.

For your dog: the Emerald Green Satin Dog Bow Tie Collar or the playful Emerald Green Polka Dot Dog Bow Tie Collar, on a Gold or Emerald Green collar.

Navy blue

• Navy + gold: timeless and formal.
• Navy + blush + ivory: classic with a romantic touch.
• Navy + white: crisp and nautical, great by the water.

For your dog: the Navy Textured Dog Bow Tie Collar, the Navy Floral Dog Bow Tie Collar, or the brighter Royal Blue Textured Dog Bow Tie Collar.

Burgundy

• Burgundy + blush + gold: deep contrast with a romantic feel.
• Burgundy + navy + greenery: moody and elegant, lovely in fall.
• Burgundy + ivory: simple and classic.

For your dog: the Dark Burgundy Dog Bow Tie Collar, the Burgundy & White Polka Dot Dog Bow Tie Collar, or the Burgundy & Ivory Floral Dog Collar with Pearls & Lace for the bride’s side.

Mixing jewel tones

Emerald, sapphire blue, ruby red and amethyst purple look great together, but they are strong. Use one or two in large areas, like the flowers and bridesmaid dresses, and the rest as small accents. Gold, ivory and candlelight warm them up, and velvet and satin make them look even richer in the colder months.

Tip for dark-coated dogs

On a black or dark brown dog, a navy or burgundy bow tie can disappear. Choose a lighter collar color, like Gold, Champagne or Ivory, so the bow stands out. Our guide to collar colors for black dogs has more ideas.

FAQ

Are jewel tones only for winter weddings?

No. They are popular in fall and winter, but emerald and navy also look fresh in spring and summer with lots of white and greenery.

Should my dog’s bow tie match the bridesmaids or the groom?

Either works. Many couples match the dog to the groom’s tie, so the ring bearer looks like part of the groom’s side.

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.
