The dress Ive got is white (unsure if this will be 'the' dress until my mum has shifted her butt and come to help me do the back up so I can see what it fits like properly) but at the moment I have a white dress and the foam flowers I have are Ivory...
Im unsure what to do now usually its either white OR ivory....can I mix both colours instead of buying more flowers (white) to match??

Agree with Brilly, am sure it will blend fine. If not add the bridesmaid colour into them. There sometimes inst too much between Ivory and White anyway. If your not sure why dont you take your flowers with you when you go with your Mum to try on the dress again :) Then you can see what it will be like and wont have to worry about it!! x x

It is usually White or ivory but I think your dress and flowers will be okay because they're different materials if you know what I mean lol x

The flowers should be fine, i did make a mistake and bought an Ivory shrug to go with my 1st dress (which now im not wearing) which was white and boy did the ivory stand out over the white, didn't look right at all :( x

Because it is flowers it doesnt look that bad. most natural flowers are not exact shades anyway so its natural for your flowers to be abit different. You have to decide if you are happy with it hun as at the end of the day it will be in all of you picktures. If your not happy get some white foam roses and make your bouquet again. you could always sell the one you have on the bay as im sure loads of brides would love it. xx

I cant see this looking a problem - i think it looks lovely x maybe if you wanted the blue in the bouquet, just add an organza ribbon to the stems x
CommentAuthorB2B2017
I will be adding ribbon to the handle, will update with pictures when I get round to doing it x

we were told you can never get 100% white or ivory and people tend to mix them. We are going for a predominantly ivory/white theme in that dress, some flowers, stationary, chair bows are ivory, table covers, chair covers, and some flowers are white for example. I wouldnt worry about it. We were worried but we were told that noone gets 100% and a mix is more than acceptable and can in fact look better by providing a bit of depth

I think it's fine to mix theme if its' part of the overall look of the wedding, if you only have one think that is ivory and everything else white it might look like a mistake. x

It depends if you like it, it does look ok but I'm a perfectionist so I am having to have all white accessories as I'm having a white dress. X x

My dress was ivory, our linen was ivory but our sashes which were meant to be gold were white. It looked lovely.
I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a
