White or Ivory?

OFF

Ivory. My gown in white looked eerie and somewhat blinding.

Definitely ivory! My dress has lace so it looked more rich with the ivory. The pure white made it look kind of cheap. I'm really happy with the color!

Ivory.

What about flowers? Do white flowers make your dress look dirty? Does a white cake make your dress look dirty? Is it all white or all ivory as far as the wedding goes?

Here is the dress. I think that it is shown in chapagne, because that color has an asteric next to it, but it looks white, right? http://tinyurl.com/nb3dpx

The choices for the dress are ivory, white, and champagne.  I really like diamond white though and if I wasn't getting a lace dress that is the color that I would get. :-) I think that I tried on the ivory color.

I really wanted ivory, but when I was trying on dresses the pure white just looked better.

Ivory!

junelley

Definitely diamond white!  Or second runner up would be light ivory. 

junelley

Oh, if the choices are (stark) white, ivory, champagne, I'd pick ivory.  I'd pick ivory over pure white - it's just too harsh.

mine is ivory

I was only able to try the dress on in ivory, and I loved it. I am afraid to get white and have it change the look of the dress for me. Out of all of the dresses that I tried on I think that I only tried on 1 white dress, and 1 diamond white dress. I like diamond white, as I feel the same as you, that true white kinda washes me out. Our wedding will be in early spring and I definitely won't be tanning either. My only other concern is that I have planned for all of the flowers to be white and I am wondering what effect this will have on the look of my dress during the ceremony.

What a beautiful wedding! Thank you so much for sharing that with me! :-) You looked absolutely stunning on your big day. Congratulations. You cannot even tell a difference. The champagne looks really good. Is that a little lighter than ivory? Did you also have your cake champagne or white? Thanks again.

I always thought white/diamond white. I recently tried on a dress that I love and it was in ivory. I would of never known if the lady didn't tell me that it was ivory. But I do want to try the dress on in white just to see.

White

Diamond whiteThe only way my dress is going to look dirty is if there's actual dirt on it. No, I'm not basing my wedding colors around the color of my gown. I'm not going to be standing next to my table linens or invites or cake all night. And even if I was, I'd be VERY shocked if anyone actually noticed a difference in color. Who would ever think of something like that?

I am wearing ivory but ti depends on your coloring.

Mine in white. I tried both on, I thought both looked nice with my skin tone, but it came down to the detailing in the dress. On the white dress the beading was siver and on the ivory it was gold and silver. I am not a fan of gold and silver together. It was so minor I am sure no one would have even noticed the beading colors, but it helped me make my decision.

Ivory. The bridal salon where I bought my dress said they sell more ivory than white because white washes most brides out.

I think, if you are worrying about how the flowers would look against your dress, I'd go with the color that you like on you, which given your choices, would be ivory.  I wouldn't worry too much about being 100% match-y-match-y.  I, myself, am going with a diamond white dress and my linen will be ivory *gasp* I refuse to change my preference to ivory just to match the linen. lol  I think, as proven by the link given earlier by a pp, ivory and white would look lovely together.  Your FMIL might agree, too.

White...Ivory made me look pale!

KiKitheBee

ivory. whit just made me look too pale. my dress is ivory with "coffee" colored lace. at least that is what they are calling it.

jillzlee

Ivory lace with champagne lining. It looks vintage and I love it! Also, everything else is ivory as well, nothing is white.

Lovie 129

Most likely ivory, but my designer has platinum and diamond white as well. Depends on the dress I pick.

KappaUCF20

I have a pale complexion so I definitely chose ivory (techically it was champagne underneath with ivory lace on top). 

TheCatSaidQuack

ivory. i think it is more flattering on everyone, and a bit classier...

Swolf67

ivory. and to sympathize, my FMIL was kind of in my face about it too; she kept insisting my dress was 'cream' (she's never even seen it ) and that now she'd have to order the men's kilt shirts in an ugly cream color and the pageboys Jacobite shirts in cream and of course the flower girl too...I was like sheesh, no one will notice or more importantly MIND that we're using Ivory (not cream! lol) and white together

sashasmommy

Ivory, but I had no choice.
