Wedding Colors by Season: Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter (With Dog Looks)

Short answer: spring loves soft pastels, summer loves bright and coastal colors, fall loves warm earthy tones, and winter loves jewel tones and silver. Pick a palette for your season, then choose your dog’s bow tie or flower collar in the main color.

Spring wedding colors

• Blush + sage + cream: soft and romantic, like a garden in bloom.
• Lavender + mint + ivory: dreamy and pastel.

How to choose your seasonal look

Let the season set the mood and your venue set the style. A beach in July and a ballroom in January need very different colors. Choose your palette first, then pick your dog’s piece in the main color, with a collar in a neutral or accent. Our guide on how to choose your wedding colors walks you through it step by step.

All our pieces are handmade on an adjustable vegan leather collar with a silver buckle, in 29 collar colors. The bow is about 4 × 2 in on X Small and Small collars and 5 × 2.5 in on Medium and larger.

FAQ

Which wedding colors work in any season?

Neutrals like ivory, champagne and white, plus navy and sage green, look good all year.

Can my dog wear a bow tie at a summer wedding?

Yes, but keep it short: put it on for the ceremony and photos, and take it off in the heat. Always bring water and shade.

Should my dog’s look change between the ceremony and the reception?

It can. Many dogs wear a flower collar or ring bearer piece for the ceremony and a simple collar for the party.
