    I love the idea of some color though too. I should say that the look I'm going for is like the Audry (aka Audrey) dresses here: http://www.stephaniejamescouture.com/blog/?cat=26

    I have a kicky fuschia crinoline on order, with turquoise ribbon edging. And the shoes are below.

    Mine is ivory because I look better in ivory than the white.  Had it been available in Diamond White, I might have chosen that.  It's a combination of ivory and white basically.  This is not at all what I went in search of, but after trying it on, "just for the fun of it," I loved it.  Good luck with your search.

    I am also going to be an oddball here.  We are having a private immediate family wedding ceremony conducted by his father (a minister) followed a month or so later by a big New Orleans style party celebrating the marriage rather than a traditional reception.  I am wearing an evening gown in either a ruby red or emerald green and plan to dance the night away!

    I'm not sure if I'll end up in white or ivory, but I would like to go on the lighter color side.. champagne, silvery-white or blush/baby pink would work too...

    Dress is going to (hopefully, if I can find the right one) be a 1940s inspired cocktail dress.. probably sweetheart neckline, rouching on the bodice, and plenty of floofy crinoline in the circle skirt.

    I also didn't have a traditional dress the first time around, I wore my step-mom's dress from her wedding, and while I loved the sentiment behind it, I really wasn't thrilled with the dress.  I'm going to have a silver dress because it's my fave colour and I thought it would be cool to have.  I haven't found THE dress yet, but I have some ideas.
    I was going to go with a birdcage veil since I wasn't sure if it was "appropriate" to wear a full veil, but FI told me it was his dream to see me in a full length cathedral veil, and since nothing makes me happier than making him happy, I'm going for it :)

    [QUOTE]<font color="#000080"><strong>Ok...I might be the odd ball here.</strong></font>  I choose a silvery blue dress.  It's elegant, but still on the traditional side, with a kick.  I just decided that this is my second wedding, so I'm pushing the limits.  I went all out with my dress.  I'm even wearing a veil, but no blusher or tiara.  Just a one tier cathedrial veil.  Here's my dress, in the color shown which actually has a very pale baby blue tint to it... <a href="http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?style=J1324" rel='nofollow'>http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?style=J1324</a>

    Hey, wait!  I'm wearing blue ... scroll back up (first page).  The color is called dusk.  It rocks and goes very nicely with the snakeskin floral pumps I'm wearing.  Yummy!!!

    My dress is a light champagne color.  I love my dress but getting a white/ivory one would have been much easier when purchasing accessories.
