Color of Wedding Dress

I can tell you I just exchanged an ivory/champagne dress for an ivory dress and it feels much more bridal. Beautiful color but if you are not into a darker color then I would go lighter. I knew I was not into blush/pink.

Ask the salon if the under can be changed later. Or find it in the color to try on?

I think it depends on how much you want the design to be seen from afar. If you want it to standout from afar, then do the champagne; if you want it to be more subtle, do the ivory/ivory. Personally, I would do ivory/ivory just because it feels more bridal to me.

I agree with ivory/ivory. Even if the colors are the same, the different textures will make the details stand out.

That dress is SOOO stunning on you. I wish I could pull that off!

I agree with pp that one of the advantages of some difference between the colors of the lining and lace layers is that the lace detailing will "pop" MUCH more against the contrast of champagne than it will over ivory (but not nearly as starkly as with the nude lining, which I agree is pretty dark). I'd expect with the ivory/ivory combo, the lace details will be considerably more subtle. So, if you love those details, I'd try the ivory/champagne as a good middle ground between the nude and the ivory options. Daughter's dress (Rebecca Ingram Allison) came in white/white, ivory/ivory, and ivory/pale gold. She went with the ivory/pale gold and it was STUNNING, especially against her pale skin and red hair -- she had an ethereal soft glow! All the lace details were much more noticeable against the pale gold lining; but to look at daughter in the dress, most people would describe it as an ivory or off-white wedding dress, with no doubts about how "bridal" it was. Good luck!
