I get nervous everytime I look at my ivory gown that it may be too dark but it could be the camera & bad lighting.. (very bad pics of my dress are in my album ) PLease post pics of your non- white gowns b/c I need some pretty dresses to look at for reassurance.. thx
It sounds like we are both thinking along the same lines Umm, if your on the pale side I would reccomend staying away from an all white bo-k. I think they look beautiful but I think you need a little contrast (tan people always look great against all white/ivory). I was thinking of a rose bo-k. Mybe cream and pink...or peach...or...this is my problem. Cant pick a color.
I really like this one....(Deedlebug126 bo-k is really pretty too
That light pink bouquet is very pretty. What types of flowers are you thinking of?

oh, very nice! I originally wanted gardenias & staphinotis but I may have to re-think this b/c they are white flowers.

Re: Please post pics of your ivory gowns
just to give you an idea of what it might look like. my dress was ivory and my flowers were white orchids. they did not clash (might be b/c there was a hint of color on the orchids).
Mine was ivory...dont worry it will be fine. MAke sure all the guys wear ivory shirts not white.

Thanks for all of the wonderful pics. I feel like my dress looks darker than anyone else's. (pics in my album) It was purchased at a sample sale so I'll see how I feel after I get it professionally cleaned.

My dress was very ivory not a light onem or off white. I got married in the summer. It gets washed off with the sunlight.
You will be fine!

I'm in the same boat. Ordered Ivory and am still so nervous about it because I took pics in the store and it looks a little darker than I thought. Everyone keeps telling me to just make sure nobody else including your FH and GM are wearing white shirts. My FGs will also wear Ivory! Don't worry. Remember that the lighting in the store is always really crappy, so it doesn't photo the way it's supposed to!!!!

You are right, the lighting did stink in the store.. I'm sure i'll be asking about your ivory decisions along the way
ooh AutmBride, your dress was ivory & you had white flowers? I really wanted a white bouquet. I'll have to see how that looks with a swatch of my dress.

My dress was a true ivory with champagne highlights. On me, ivory dresses looked a lot richer and I loved my gown.
As a result of wearing ivory, everything else was too. Aisle runner, pew bows, all the guys shirts in the BP, flower girl dresses, linens, paper on DIYs, the cake. Here are a few non pro pics.
Hope this helps! Ivory is gorgeous!!!
