What do you think...

of all white color schemes? I mentioned to FI that I kind of liked the idea of the girls in white sundresses (DW) and he was all weirded out...

Re: What do you think...

  • I like it.  I would have a pristine, all white house if I could.That said, I think you have to be careful so you don't get confused about who's who in the photos.  I'd do maybe short white dresses with a different neckline than the wedding dress, and maybe add a sash or something to them.

  • I like it.  I was thinking of doing short JCrew dresses for the girls, but I think they might like a color better.  But I like white a lot in general.
  • I like it! Short dresses, or dresses that are very different from yours, and it'll be smashing.
  • I like weddings with all-white decor, but am not a fan of BMs in white. Not necessarily because it's confusing, I just like the look of the bride and groom standing out a bit more from the rest of the group. Also, a lot of ladies don't routinely wear white because it's just not that flattering on them.
  • I think knee/tea length white sundresses would look great but I'd definitely go for a pop of colour with it.  Either a sash or a ribbon edging or something along those lines.  The only thing I'd be careful of is the BMs' colouring and sizes - white can be unflattering for a lot of people.
  • I like it. Weren't Fishy's bridesmaids in all white? If I'm remembering correctly, the look was really amazing.

  • I think it's beautiful if done right...
  • Fishy's were champagne gold--she sent me the pics because that's what my BM dresses are, too.  It looked great, though.

  • Ahh yes ok. I remembering it being a very light color. They looked so great!

  • I think it would look really awesome. I would make them short, and add a sash with either some bright pops of color, or maybe black or champagne to help the BP stand out. I would have gone this route if my BMs wouldn't have killed me for making them wear white :)

  • I love all white weddings and I love bridesmaids in white. The whole look is just so fresh, clean, and simple looking - I love it. Were it me, I probably would add a sash to the bridesmaids dresses though, just to make them pop a bit.
  • There are two White specialty bios (you might have to click Planning Bio if these take you to the Nest bio)[url]http://tinyurl.com/qj24ee[/url]and[url]http://tinyurl.com/ouwnao[/url]We considered this because I love white (with black) so we are having girls in all white w/black sashes and guys in black w/white shirts & ties. I think for a DW all white could be very chic, hopefully your FI comes around.
