Neutral wedding colours are always in style, whether you’re planning a beach wedding, a boho theme, a rustic country celebration or an event with a modern minimalist vibe, and with a spectrum extending from subtle off-white to the richest of browns a neutral wedding theme offers almost endless versatility.
Neutrals can complement almost any venue, season or design, pair beautifully with pastels, metallics and greenery, and as this ABIA roundup of neutral wedding inspiration shows, a neutral colour palette offers style that’s anything but ‘beige’.
