Color of Lipstick for white dress?!

After many trials, I have decided I need to do my own makeup to keep me from crying on my wedding day from bad makeup! :)
I need to know what color lipstick goes with a wedding dress. I have very dark, olive skin. I usually wear berries, and browns but I'm not sure what to do about this. I'm usually in bright colors, so white is very foreign to me. I know dark lipstick makes your teeth look whiter! Hooray for that...but what colors makeup girls?! :)
Thanks! Happy Monday!

  • Gardini, sorry you had a bad makeup experience!

    Focus on what looks good on you, not what matches/goes best with a white dress.

    The colors you mention look beautiful IMO with olive complexion.  You might want to check out these berry colors - they are sheer which is fabulous:

    wear what looks best on you. why not the berries and/or browns that you're already happy with? all shades of lipstick go with white, imo, as long as it looks good on YOU.

  • I wore a peachy pink creamy color that I purchased for the wedding, with a touch of gloss over it.
