Ivory dress bride, guys shirt color?

I ended up going with an ivory dress so my flower girl will also be in ivory so we're the same color and my dress doesn't look 'dirty' next to her, esp since she's my daughter and will be in lots of pics! Should FH and the guys wear an ivory shirt, or would they be fine with white? My dress is on...

I ended up going with an ivory dress so my flower girl will also be in ivory so we're the same color and my dress doesn't look 'dirty' next to her, esp since she's my daughter and will be in lots of pics! Should FH and the guys wear an ivory shirt, or would they be fine with white? My dress is on the lighter side of ivory, but when trying them on and it was next to a white dress it was noticeable that the colors were different. I'm just concerned if I go with white I will look a bit dirty compared to them, but I also don't want to go ivory and have it be a deeper shade and look off. Suggestions?

    This is my dress, so it's a lighter ivory (with very light blush underneath on the bottom) I just want whatever will go best. I don't want either of us to look dingy compared to the other.

    Ashlyn - I would ask the store where you are getting his suit or tux from, but I think you will be fine either way. The place recommended the white shirt and ivory tie for us and it worked fine! The rest of the groomsmen matches the bridesmaids

    I don't have any pro pictures so this is the best close up I have. His ivory shirt look kind of dingy now that I look at it. Lol

    This is my dress next to his original stark white shirt. I freaked out and run to Macy's two days before the wedding.

    @ O&L- See, that's exactly what I don't want! I guess I'll just have to trust the place we get the guys attire from and if I need to change it at the last minute I will.

    I think that's because the shirt and dress are right next to each other in that pic, so it makes the difference more noticeable. Usually the jacket would be there to separate the two different whites. That's why you don't really notice it in @FreshToDeathAng's pictures

    ETA: That's just what I'm going to tell myself that day lol. I don't feel like chasing down all the guys and making them buy new shirts

    Ivory dress, we ordered a white shirt. Mine is also almost white and the ivory shirt was more of a cream... too dark, imo.

    My dress is ivory and I am having FH wear white. I was so concerned at first, but honestly it doesn't look bad. I convinced myself by doing a collage of my dress and his suit. I can't tell so I doubt anyone else will.

    Also my flower girls will be in ivory.

    ETA: words

    We did ivory shirts and I think it looked good. One of my groomsmen spouses found one cheap on amazon and they all ended up ordering the same one.

    My dress was ivory. I had the guys get white shirts. The ivory shirts we found came off too yellow next to my dress.
