NEED ADVICE. Color scheme with my wedding gown. **with pics of gown** *NEW PIC ADDED**
okay...i am in love with my new gown, but i am a slight bit worried about how it will affect my color scheme. i never wanted a pure white dress (i was always more into ivory). well the gown that i ordered (will be finalizing the order and color on saturday) is an antique gold color. (exact color of this pic). i chose the color since it matched perfectly with my greatgrandmothers veil, but part of me is questioning it.
*is it bride-like enough?? will people think anything of it? (let me mention that i DID feel bride like wearing it) esp. with the veil, but i dont think i will be able to wear the veil for the reception since it is so fragile (and it's really long)
*what will i do about tuxes? i think shirts only come in ivory, wont that l still make the gown look 'dirty'. i was thinking FH can wear a vest in the same exact color of my gown with an ivory shirt?? what do you think?
*what about flowers? (cream colored?? will that work?)
*what jewelery will go with the dress? i definately dont want to wear yellow gold even though it would go nicely with the gown. is silver and/or diamond necklace ok? any other ideas?
*BM dress color?? i really want a purple color. i dont think the original peri/purplish blue color will go (that would look better with white). what about a victorian lilac?
i know by now you girls prob think i am so indecisive and crazy. i DO want this gown, and i want it to work....i think i just need help and opinions. i do have the option of ordering it in ivory instead, but i dont know how the beading will look on it in ivory (i saw it in white and the beading was all white with no other color to it). i like the added color in the beading of this gown (this was the one i tried on)
TIA!
ok i just made this in paint...what do you think of these colors together. this is the dress i like, and the name of the color is 'smashing'

u said its the exact color of the pic right??? its not THAT gold at all :) i think its beautiful! The dress that I am in love with i think i might order it in white/silver because it had a TON of gold on it, but i think it will look beautiful
what colors are u looking to go with besides ur dress color?

Your gown would look great with a ivory and pink bok. Maybe u can put ur BM in more of a liliac, pinkish dress and have them carry the 2nd bok

what do you think of this combo?
I think that color looks great with the dress. I was picturing something different when you said victorian lilac...hmmm

yeah victorian lilac is a little different. i am trying to avoid victorian lilac (although i like it, it's not quite what i wanted). this color is called 'smashing'

the gown is gorgeous!! and the purple goes very well with it.
you can wear any jewelery you want.
i think ivory tux shirts will be fine.
everything will be gorgeous!! no one but you will really notice all the color details anyway. i know we as brides don't like to think that way...but it's true.

I think the dress is beautiful and the color will be amazing. I personally think you should do a little more of a warmer color to go with the ivory mabye a dusty rose or mauve. Just My Opinion. I would do the gold jewlery just my opinion I think it looks nicer with the color of the dress. I would do a cream color bo-k or go with warm colored flowers

you're right, a dusty rose would look very pretty with this gown. i just feel that purple has always been my favorite color, i just wouldnt feel right picking a pinkish color. but thanks for the tought. there are prob lots of colors that would go, lol, i just really want purple.

I love your new gown! (def bride like!!) and think the purple goes great with your gown!
ok to attempt to answer some of your questions:
about the tuxes..since your dress is gold do u have to have FH wearing ivory? bc if your worried that it might make ur dress look dirty why dont you have him wear white so yours still looks gold and no worried about it looking dirty
about flowers i think cream colored flowers can go with any color scheme..i feel like it matched everything!
as for jewlery it looks like the girl in the pic is wearing silver so why not? haha but i think a simple diamond would be best
hope this helps a bit! there just my opinions but i think no matter what that dress is beautiful and u will look great in it!
