Ivory Bridal Gown Question?!!

Posted in Wedding Attire 28

Okay..so I am looking at buying an ivory bridal gown. Are any of you not buying a white gown? The guy at men's Wearhouse said that the groomsmen would have to wear ivory shirts too..they are wearing light gray tuxs...do you think this will look weird? Help please!!

    My dress will be ivory. Most brides do not wear white anymore. I do not care what the guys shirts look like really and my flower girls dress are more cream.

    We broke the rules. My husband wore a white shirt with an ivory tie & vest. My dress didn't look dirty. I actually thought the ivory shirt looked dingy when he was trying on tuxes. Will your guys be wearing vests? Really, not much of the shirt shows.

    Thank you soo much everyone! Lots of amazing advice! I am going to try and get a swatch of the dress and then see if maybe my fiancé can order an off white shirt vs the yellow one from men's Wearhouse. Ahh..never thought this would be so complicated lol of all things to worry about!

    My dress is ivory, and we're getting the Vera Wang tuxes from MW. MW's ivory shirts looked gross so we're doing regular white shirts. I don't think it'll make my dress look dirty... it's much better than gross yellow shirts with black and gray tuxes.

    I wore ivory and the tux place suggested we do all ivory for the men too, so we did and they looked awesome! Smiley smile They had a gray tux too and it think it looked amazing!

    I'm wearing an ivory gown, and the guys got ivory shirts. I think it looks better if it matches. Otherwise, the white shirts will/might make the gown look "dingy". That's what my photographer told me.
