Hey ladies, I need your help. So I told the FH I don't plan to get a white wedding gown and leaning towards off white or ivory. He's not too keen on that idea. He feels I should wear white because its classic and traditional. I have tried on white dresses and I just didn't like how the color looks on me and I prefer ivory. Can u tell me if I have to wear white? Also, what color are your dresses?
You can wear any color! My friend wore red, I've seen black, blush, and platinum too. I am wearing ivory. I kind of wanted to do blush though.
I don't have my dress yet but very few people can pull off stark white. And most ivory dresses look more white than anything anyway. So I will probably get ivory.
My dress is ivory...I looked so weird in stark white dresses! Go with what you want, he probably won't even notice!
My dress is ivory but it really is more off-white. I think stark white would have looked ridiculous on me. Go with what you want! Like Chaz said, he probably won't notice.

I'm wearing ivory and unless I told a man the color was called ivory they would never know, I'm sure your FH wouldn't notice and won't care with how beautiful you're going to look on your wedding day!!
Crashing! My FH was the same way when I told him I wasn't planning on wearing white. I'm pretty pale and even my bridal attendant when I went dress shopping told me that white may wash me out. My dress is a Maggie Sotterro in ivory and I love it. It still looks white - just not that bright white. Pics are in my album to help you get an idea.

Thanks ladies! I feel a lot better. I told him your thoughts and he said he didn't realized not all brides wear white. He said I can wear whatever makes me happy.
Honestly, I don't think very many brides ever get white anymore, it's almost always ivory (or some variation). I agree with the other girls, it's very unlikely that's he'd be able to tell it's ivory, unless you had bright white right next to it. Good luck!!

I thought my dress was white and it turns out it is Ivory. You can BARELY tell it isn't white. When I tried on ones that were true white it looked almost cheap to me...
With our the two being right next to each other it's hard to tell that ivory isn't white.. Just refer to it as 'soft white' and FH probably won't know the differance lol. I thibk I'm going for a champagne color because I know it's very flattering on my skin tone.
I'm fairly certain, Ivory, cream, off white, ecru, beige all fall under the category of WHITE in mens head...
