Champagne with ivory lace freak out

My dress is champagne with ivory lace and I absolutely love it!! I have darker skin and really love how it compliments me. I'm not sure how it looks on pale skin, but there has to be a reason why you loved it. Do you have a photo of the dress?

Champagne with ivory lace is VERY common these days and definitely still looks bridal. My dress was technically champagne/ivory and I 100% felt like a bride. True white is super unflattering on most people, you picked a great color for your skin tone!

Think of the champagne drawing out the detail in the lace... You would lose that in all one shade - either white or ivory. You can also self-tan and be 'less' pale. Trust me, I've been told that vampires are more darkly complected than me. This is stunning! Please, don't worry and when you do remind yourself to focus on the gorgeous lace!

That dress is as bridal as they come. Where else would you wear it except for to your own wedding? I also agree with Laura that the champagne color does a great job of showcasing the lace detail. It is a beautiful dress and definitely very bridal!

Your dress is gorgeous! I do understand your fears, as I had the same ones because my dress is ivory lace over champagne, but you're going to look amazing. As PPs have said, the champagne underlay makes the lace totally pop! As you said in your original post, you know that lighting is going to make a huge difference, and it is. You just need to remind yourself of that when you look at your pictures. Plus, think about how professional photography is so different from pictures off your phone. Here's a couple of pictures of my dress for reference. The first is a pic off my phone, and the others are professional photos. My dress looked so much lighter in the professional pictures.

Yes, you are over reacting. You are gonna be a beautiful bride! There are so many brides that choose to not do white on their wedding day. The first dress I bought was pink! Although I loved it, the alterations were gonna be way too much so I opted for a simpler, no alterations needed white dress but if that pink dress would have worked, girl I would be rocking that pink wedding dress lol. If you love it, that is all that matters. Your dress is stunning btw.
