Ivory Gown...White Shirt???

beachbride0427

We are having a beach wedding. I've already bought my dress in ivory and I thought the groom could wear a white button down shirt and khaki's.

My question is would a white shirt look okay? Or will it make my dress look dingy? Would like to keep it "dressy casual"

It's fine. In fact, I've heard ivory shirts wind up being the ones that look dingy. My dress was ivory and my husband's shirt was white. It looked fine.

Ditto PP. My H wore a dinner jacket look for the wedding - black pants, white shirt, ivory jacket, black bowtie (you know, the James Bond look?) and it looked great with my ivory dress. Even when he took his jaket off and it was just the white shirt it looked fine.

Same here, champagne dress, white shirt. No one will notice.

Same here... I had an ivory dress, my partner had a white shirt.  You couldn't tell.

ETA: Here is a closeup picture of my partner & I with the ivory dress and white shirt...  in case you have any doubts.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Ladies. I guess I need not worry about the small stuff when there's plenty else going on.
