Am I going to regret not wearing white?

I made a blush dress that I love but the response on the color of my dress has been mixed which is starting to make me wonder if I made a mistake. Everyone who sees the dress, loves it. But when I mention that it's blush and not white to people who haven't, they look at me like I've completely lost...

But when I mention that it's blush and not white to people who haven't, they look at me like I've completely lost my mind. Has anyone worn a blush dress? What are your feelings on blush dresses? This is the dress that inspired me to make mine and it's a very similar color and style.

    If this is the dress that you love, in a color that you love, I don't think you will.

    My dress is black. Every person who is aware of that has told me that it's very "me". I initially looked only at white dresses and kept seeing pretty ones and thinking "that would be gorgeous in black". After a while I realized I was never going to fall in love with a white dress, so I started look at black dresses and when I saw my dress I knew instantly that it was the one.

    I love the blush dress!! I would prefer ivory or blush for myself as I am on the paler side and white completely washes me out.

    You must wear what brings you joy. It shows in how a person acts and in their body language. If you love it and feel good in it, go for it!

    I love blush dresses. IMO they photograph very well in comparison to the white gown, especially when put against a black tux, easier to meter, highlights show detail better, looks more natural against all skin tones. But that's just me!!!

    I'm wearing a blush dress. Who cares how other people feel about your color choice! They aren't wearing it!

    I think blush is a beautiful color and you did one hell of a job making your dress. It's gorgeous. I think the thing you will regret is not wearing what you actually want and dreamed of.

    You are a bride so you will look like a bride in blush, silver, black, or chartreuse!

    I really wanted to wear a blush dress but I just didn't find one that I liked and was within my budget. When I told my mom that I wanted to wear a blush wedding dress, she wasn't surprised. My 6th bday party was pink themed (my favorite color) and the dress code was pink too lol.

    I wish I had, had a blush dress! They're gorgeous and photograph so well. Don't let other people give you doubts. If that's what you want, who cares what others think. They'll be envious once they see it or the pics anyways. Go for it!

    I love blush. It's what led me to choose my dress. That dress color is gorgeous. I'd love to see the final product of the dress you made.

    ETA: I love just about any color wedding dress and love seeing the brides who can rock the dress.
