Hope you all are having a great time preparing for your wedding! Your wedding dress-what colour are you going for white or ivory? I am very confused what to do! And my wedding theme is going to be red and white. ;) xx
CommentAuthorInDreamland
I had an ivory dress. My colour scheme was also red with some gold and ivory.
Best to try different dresses on in the varying shades from white to champagne gold and all the shades in between to see what suits your complexion x

I've already ordered my dress but I need to let them know which colour I want and unfortunately they didn't have any white dresses in a shop. It's gonna a be a ball gown dress and the moment they told me I can have either of the colours it got me really confused :(
CommentAuthorInDreamland
Find another store to just try on both colours then to help you decide. They don't need to know you've already ordered your dress from another store.

Most brides do find pure white washes them out so everyone I know has had ivory or off White.

I've noticed that all the dresses are ivory or blush in the shops now.
CommentAuthorInDreamland
One bridal store I went to when I was trying dresses on didn't even stock pure white dresses because they said noone buys actual white, they only seem to have brides wanting off white amd ivory.

I'm just struggling to picture how would it look ivory dress and white flowers and all decorations white. Even though I did love that dress straight away in ivory. I wish they wouldn't have asked me which colour I want when I was ordering lol
CommentAuthorInDreamland
I don't think it will clash to be honest.

I really have no preference as to what colour my dress will be. If I fall in love with the style of the dress it can be any colour.

Did anyone else not know how many shades of white there were until you started planning a wedding? I believe my dress has been described as mink which I thought was a small ferret like animal.... x

My dress is ivory. If you have a tan, than white, but it can wash you out.

mine is champagne. I tried on white but I am so pale it looked stupid on me. You really will have to try on and see what you think. If you like he ivory then go for that. I wouldn't worry about a clash

CommentAuthorFlossie
I thought I wanted ivory but I actually went for a "cafe" colour which is very similar to ivory just a little warmer. I would never have planned to go for that colour but it just happened to be the colour of the sample dress and it looked fab!

I was always going to go with ivory, I tried on a bright white dress and it was just too bright. At my friends wedding recently I went dress shopping with her, her dress came in the "café" colour Floss mentioned, it was really fab but she went with the ivory.

Mine is white, I didn't realise how many dresses were ivory rather than white! The shop I went to at the weekend had no white dresses at all! I wasn't really bothered whether I had white or ivory it just turned out that the dress I loved was white xx

My dress is white with a blue ribbon. It's in my photo albums if you would like to have a look x
CommentAuthorElinor Claire
Mine was ivory, with a champagne gold train. I think as a general rule the paler you are the darker the shade that will work. I'm a redhead so naturally very pale, and even if I wanted to get a tan I couldn't. I don't think a fake tan would have looked right either. A true white colour would have washed me out. Someone who is tanned or naturally has slightly darker skin would be more likely to get away with a really white dress.

CommentAuthorMrsThomson2B
My dress is a pale gold. Not a colour I would have chosen but I tried the dress on becuase the sample was that colour and I thought it was stunning. Loved ti and thats how I chose xx
CommentAuthorNicolaB4176
Mine's kind of a champagney-blush colour
CommentAuthorFayeJ67
I was adamant that I was having an ivory dress as I believed that white would wash me out. I do not tan, I burn and am a very pale blonde.
However I found my dress in a store where they had exactly the same dress in exactly the same size in both ivory and white. To my huge surprise I preferred the White, even the consultants were surprised at how much better the white looked!
My advice would be try them both on as you never know
CommentAuthorJoanneH4
Ivory with a blue ribbon. There's a picture in my photo albums if anyone wants to have a look xx
CommentAuthormrs.trouble
Try both on - you never know what you will like more! My dress comes in white, ivory and a colour and to my mum's shock she actually preferred the coloured one! (not that you can tell it's coloured - it looks more like a cream from the photo's)

Mine is ivory.... Its warmer than white. I think white looks great on everybody but it wasnt for me. I am very pale and have dark hair.
Always try both on..... I had a line of dresses lined up and picked one wildcard and i wound up with the wildcard. ;-) Happy hunting xx
