White or Ivory Wedding Dress

As a first time bride, is it appropriate to wear an antique ivory color? It really goes better with my skin tone than a true white. What do you think?

Congrats! ! ! Yes anything goes. You can wear what you want. I originally wanted ivory, but my dress only came in white/diamond white, so I chose diamond white.

It's completely fine, lots of brides here have an ivory dress. Mine is silk white so its not really white, and its my first time! If its flattering on you definitely go for it!

I'm wearing Ivory!!! I dont see anything wrong with it. My dress looks gorgeous in Ivory, DIamond white was like WHITE. Almost like hard to look at, IMO. But thats on me, most brides i've seen wore white and its beautiful. i think for my taste and my color ivory was the way to go

I say why not! It's a first time for me as well and my gown is champagne.

Sure-Ivory is very common now-a-days. A lot of brides (incl myself) choose it b/c it goes better with their complexion.

I chose ivory over white for the very same reason. I think you should go with what looks best. Both shades are completely appropriate.

I chose Ivory too b/c white did not go with my skin tone.

Re: White or Ivory Wedding Dress

I am not wearing white. I am still dress hunting but I have already excluded out white. Infact the dress I am leaning towards now is Champagne!

Absolutely. I originally wanted white but then I tried on my dress in antique white and it looked so much better with my skin tone. I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Ivory is defiantly appropriate, thats why the have so many options because white doesn't always work well with everyones complextion. You have to wear what looks best on you and you feel best in!

Re: White or Ivory Wedding Dress

Well I'm going to say go for it b/c I wanted a white dress but my dress only came in light ivory or ivory. So I will be wearing light ivory.

Re: White or Ivory Wedding Dress

My dress is Ivory and I love it so much. Which is crazy because I always pictured me wearing white. Good luck with the rest of your wedding plans.

Re: White or Ivory Wedding Dress

my dress came in both white and ivory. I tried it on in ivory, but i liked the way the white dresses looked on me better..... so white it is!!

It all depends on what you feel looks better on you.
