Not all white wedding dresses, show me!

Picked this dress a few weeks ago and I absolutely loved it, but sometimes I question if I made the right choice going with a nude undertone- I always envisioned myself wearing all white- but I know the details wouldn't have shown up as nicely with white on white.

Anyone else go with something like this? Even a different silhouette, I mean color wise. Did you find your gown was a little lighter in color than the sample?

SHOW ME!

ETA: spelling

Second edit: by white I meant ivory. The overlay is ivory and the alternative would have been ivory on ivory. I was told bright white is hard to come by anymore.

Third edit: what color is your FH wearing? I was originally going to do nude/taupe but now I'm not sure.

ETA: removed my pic, sometimes my BP browses on here.

    Great choice @katie! I love her overall style. I agree on letting the dress steal the show. What color are you grooms/groomsmen wearing? My theme is rose gold/taupe and I was going to have the guys in nude but now I'm not sure?

    @JoRocka I do remember, and it was a stunning dress!

    Don't get me wrong, I don't see anything wrong with dresses that are not all white- I just had this picture in my head for so long.

    My dress is blush with ivory lace, I honestly never wanted a white dress because it washed me out. I love your dress!

    Mobile cuts the picture off... but my dress color is called Moscato and I'm obsessed with it. It's like a beigy blush

    Absolutely love that @Justine!

    Did anyone feel like they had to tell their FH that it wasn't going to be bright white?

    @Gloria I love that gown! It's one of the ones I wanted to try on, but my boutique didn't have it.

    @nessa yes haha I had to give him a disclaimer. "It's not super white... and it's poufy. Like a princess dress."

    Thank you @J.H!!!

    Hahaha @kay I did too! He's always known I've wanted "big and white" so I didn't want him to expect one thing and see another... "still big, but not not as white anymore."

    @nessa ...your dress is stunning! I love how much your lace stands out. I definitely agree that mine is lighter than yours, but I love all the nude/blush/champagne dresses I've been seeing on here! I did give my FH a disclaimer that it's not necessarily a traditional white/ivory dress, but that it's not that off either.

    Mine is a champagne/blush. I had been thinking white, too, but I fell in love with this dress. And when I put it on, I preferred how I wasn't so washed-out as I was in the white dresses.
