I did it! AND white shoes too...i totally forgot about dying them. It's such a small difference..no one will notice. I actually preferred it that way because then the bouquet doesn't blend as much into the dress...if that makes any sense.

And the tux people also told my DH to do ivory tux stuff...but he didn't like it and did a white shirt with a grey vest/tie. Again...it's something that no one will notice!

Ivory dress...white bouquet and DH's white shirt! Especially if you're taking pics when it's bright out....the glare from the sun will make your dress seem whiter than it is.

That's a fabulous photo!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful!

Hmm is your derss ivory? Then you camn definetly do a mix of white flowers but i would plan to mix color blooms into the bo-k.

My MOH had all white roses which actually look ivory (good for you to use) against a pure white dress. Her flowers looked dingy in all the pics because of the brightness of her beautiful gown. It would have looked 100 times better had she had some leaves or other flowers to break it up. She was really unhappy with the pics where its right up against her dress.

I would take a swatch if you're concerned but roses should be good. Mix it up with pretty greenery if you dont want color. I always think boquets with color pop betetr in pics anyway.
