Absolutely not. Women only started wearing white wedding dresses after Queen Victoria wore one to her wedding in 1840. And they didn't even really catch on until the 20th century. Those women in the 19th century and earlier certainly were not "tacky." So wear whatever you feel best in.

Wear whatever color you feel comfortable in. When you think about it how many women wear an all white outfit or dress any other time??? I think colored dresses can look quite wonderful and brings out the brides personality. There is no rule you have to wear white so if you want to wear navy then I say go for it.
