So some of you may have seen my post this weekend because my dress came in.. I ordered white because when I tried on the Ivory, it just made the dress look yellow against my skin. Anywho long story short, one of my BM's called themselves getting on me because Im wearing white. First she said, it...

So some of you may have seen my post this weekend because my dress came in.. I ordered white because when I tried on the Ivory, it just made the dress look yellow against my skin. Anywho long story short, one of my BM's called themselves getting on me because Im wearing white. First she said, it will be hard to keep that color clean, then she says Im not a virgin lol. Sounds like a little hating but I really dont care.. So I was just wondering how many of you are wearing white and how many wear Ivory??

    My dress is ivory but it looks white to me. And if I wanted to wear white I would, even if I'm obviously not a virgin lol (me and FH have a 5 month old together)

    Ivory - goes really well with the type of lace in my dress.

    Omg your bridesmaid is hating....this old thing about white for virgins....gimme a break...lol

    i was always adamant that i wanted the big white gown --- then i put pure white against my skin tone and it was a total washout.....looked bad.....so i went ivory because it complimented me the best....dont listen to her.....or anyone else for that matter.....listen to yourself and what your heart told you about the dress....

    Umm did she pay for your dress? If not, she can move around with that foolishness. Wear the color you want. My dress is ivory because I think the color compliments my complexion.

    Most brides aren't virgins nowadays... but really, it's none of anyone's business! Honestly, I don't see the difference between white and ivory in terms of the message it sends. Many dresses are ivory, or not white and it doesn't mean anything. The tradition of wearing white (or its various shades) is relatively new anyways.

    I'm wearing ivory but that's just because I found a dress that happens to be ivory. Honestly, I didn't even know what it was until FH pointed out that it said ivory on the receipt, months later. To me, it's all just shades of white anyways.

    Ivory! And mine even has a little pink in it.

    sounds to me like that BM shouldn't be in your wedding if she can't even support the color you want to wear!

    I am wearing white as well. I have 2 kids and am 40. None of my guests would ever think I am a virgin but white is what looked best for me so I am wearing white. As others have said, it sounds to me like your friend really is just "hating" and you should tell her that white is the color you are wearing. To use the old expression, you can tell her "If you don't like, don't look!"

    I'm wearing ivory but that's because it's how my dress came. If it came in white I would be wearing white.

    Ahaha.

    1) Ivory is ALSO hard to keep clean. It's not like you're trying to decide between white and dark brown or something.

    2) Most people will not even be able to tell that your dress is not the purest of white.

    3) The white wedding dress tradition is entirely unrelated to virginity.

    4) White and ivory are not the only two colors you can wear to your wedding.

    Mine is Ivory. I had the option of ordering the dress in white, ivory or champagne. However, they only had ivory in the sample and i liked it as is so i didnt want to order something i wasnt able to try on. It looked good when i put it on so thats what i stayed with. now, you got me wondering how my dress in white would have looked on me! lol

    Wow, I can't believe she said that about a dress you have already purchased. Not that it would have been an appropriate comment in any circumstance, but she was trying to get a rise out of you. Sounds like the green-eyed monster!

    I rocked a stark white dress. Yes, it was filthy by the end of the night-who cares-I didn't. White is for virgins, if that were true, white would be as hard to find as a green wedding dress Smiley winking

    I'm wearing white. Mostly because I'm wearing my mom's veil, which is white, and I wanted them to match. Smiley smile

    I'm wearing white, and I have two kids. I can care least I am wearing white, because to my FH it's both of our first marriage and not only that, he said he wants me in white.

    It sounds like your friend is super old school. My dress is ivory and seeing Ariel's post, I don't even know what color my veil is.. guess I should check that they match.
