for anyone who has or had an ivory dress

am i being totally paranoid that i am afraid that anything that is white that stands next to me in my ivory dress will make it look dirty?
for example:
the pew bows? - flowers? (i wanted white hydrangeas)- or if the girls carry white in their bo-q?

am i just being crazy my FH thinks i am just finding ways to make myself nuts?

You are just being crazy-- do not think about it.. If anything the white will complement your dress and show off the warmer ivory color..

I am also so paranoid about that.. I am trying to make everything ivory...

I got my dress and never realized how 'yellow' the gold accents made the dress look...
So FOR ME.. no white at my wedding...
I will drive myself insane

Depends on how ivory your dress is.
Stuff like pew bows are fine..and just for the record..there is no such thing as white roses..ask your florist..what they call white is actually a very light ivory rose. Which is why it can go nicely with white or ivory colored dresses..Trust me..I was the no white..Ivory only queen lol.

I have to say - I made sure most everything was ivory but I did forget a few things. More because I liked the ivory better and thought it coordinated nicely. My flowers were all off-white/blush colors (no white), DH and GM's tux shirts and DH's tie - was ivory, my invites were ivory, the table linens were ivory. Pew Bows may have been white and my cake was white.
