Thoughts on "flipped" wedding?

My dress would be blush and my bridesmaids would wear white? Any opinion on this? I LOVE this dress http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Ball-Gown-with-Asymmetrically-Draped-Bodice-VW351007_Bridal-Gowns-Shop-By-Designer-White-by-Vera-Wang

I think that would look beautiful.  Random side note...Have you tried that dress on in blush or at least seen it in person?  I loved the idea of a blush dress but when I saw that exact dress in person, it was more of a dusty rose color than blush.  It is a beautiful dress though.  So soft, lightweight, and really comfy.  I didn't buy that particular dress but it was going to be "the one" if I didn't end up finding a different dress that I happened to like just a little bit more.

Nope I haven't even been shopping yet haha just browsing online, do you think it would come off as a joke because we already crossed that baby-before-marraige line? You know, brides are "pure" that's why it's traditional to wear white?

Brides wear white because of Queen Victoria.  Before that, women simply wore their best dress of whatever color.  White was not a common dress color because the gown would ditry easily; only the rich could afford a dress that would only be worn once!

Anyway, I love the idea of the flipped wedding party!

I actually really like that idea! Especially with that dress, its beautiful.

How do your bridesmaids feel about wearing white? It's a difficult color to wear, and not everyone will look good in the same shade.

I think that sounds gorgeous!

I think with the 'maids in ivory it would be lovely!  Not everyone can pull off stark white without looking like a ghost.

That dress is stunning!

I like the idea although I dont think I would put your bridesmaids in white.

I saw a photo one time of a bride in a purple wedding dress and her bridal party in white/ivory dresses.

It actually looked very beautiful.  Not like a joke at all.  It was classy.

I think your idea sounds great!

I like the idea =]

I've seen where the MOH and MOB wore white and it looked stunning on both of them. I think if the bride is on board for the bridal party and the dresses are chosen correctly it can look great.

a friend of mine had her bridesmaids in white..she was wearing white too and the groom and his groomsmen all wore a white jacket..i was rather skeptical before hand, and they looked fantastic. She did a "rainbow" color scheme so each girl had a bright colored sash and carried gerber daisies, they also all chose their own white dress so they all looked great!
Id definitly recommend it if thats what youd like
But please dont do it just because you have a child and therefore think you cant wear white..that has nothing to do with it. FI and I have a son and im wearing a white dress. If your wanting a different color just because youd like it though.. go for it!!

That dress is pretty!  Love the blush color.  Ivory bridesmaid dresses would compliment it well.

OMG thank you. That was word for word what I would write down. Finally someone else who understands!

I just want to add that the traditional colour for virginity is light blue.

I love it!  I think its a great idea!!

I think the dress is beautiful!  Wear whatever color you want...just make sure you see it or a sample of the color in person before you pay all this $ and realize you hate the color!  I think it is an awesome idea! Screw other people if they say something...this day is about you and him, keep that in mind!
