Tips

Frequently asked questions

Is a champagne and ivory wedding boring?

Not if you build in texture and contrast. Mix silk, linen, velvet and candlelight, and add greenery or a dark accent so the photos have depth.

What is the difference between champagne and ivory?

Ivory is an off-white with a slight yellow cast. Champagne is a warmer, beige-gold tone, like the color of the drink.

Can bridesmaids wear champagne if the bride wears ivory?

Yes, as long as the shades are clearly different. Champagne or sand dresses look intentional next to an ivory gown; check them side by side first.

What accent colors go with champagne and ivory?

Gold, sage, blush and dusty blue all work. Black adds formal contrast for an evening wedding.
