    FH will think it's white but it's technically "ivory" looks white to me until I hold it up to something that's pure white

    Mine is champagne. Although it is almost a blush-y nude shade with ivory lace accents. I love it!!

    Hi Lisa, this sounds so pretty Smiley heart Did you plan on going with something off-white/gold or did it just sort of speak to you when you were trying on dresses? Smiley smile

    Mine is ivory with silver-ish beading on the bodice. It's been harder than I thought to try and coordinate matching shoes and flowers!

    Hi Summer! This sounds lovely.

    I do the same thing, with fixating on details like this being coordinated or not. But try to keep in mind, your feet aren't right next to your bodice. So them matching/coordinating completely perfectly is not make-or-break, especially if your dress is long.

    What are your ideas on flowers so far? An idea: you could incorporate silver through ribbon around the stems?

    My dress is "champagne ivory" though it looks pretty white to the naked eye.

    I'm so excited to participate in dress threads now! Mine is ivory lace and tulle over a "moscato" lining, which is kind of a blush/light champagne color.

    Without question - I have always known I didn't want a white dress. The top of my dress is white, the skirt will be a mix of navy and black. I cannot wait to see it once it is done!!!

    My dress is ivory. I knew from the start that I wouldn't look good in white.

    I knew I don’t want bright white and loved the ivory/ pinkish options. My dress has champagne underneath and ivory tulle/ lace over top.
