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.

    It's hard to see it in this picture but the top is all champagne and it has a champagne lining with ivory.

    Mine has a blue tint to it. I don't remember the exact color and it's not currently at my house so I can't look at the tags.

    Don't doubt your dress because it is absolutely gorgeous! I know what you mean though. Despite thinking I wanted an all white dress, I ended up with a white and blush dress. I cant see myself in anything else now though. (Edited because spelling)

    Full white dresses aren't very popular anymore. Ivory is the "in" color for weddings.

    I think your dress looks great, and I think the tradition of wearing an all white/ivory dress will soon be a thing of the past. Here's my blush dress!

    Ahhh I should not be here. I'm gonna end up with dress regret haha I wanted a blush dress so bad, but ended up going with a traditional white. ("Soft white" to be exact. How many shades of white are there?!)

    You all look stunning!

    My dress is a champagne undertone with ivory on top! This dress was a lot of what I thought I didn't want! I didn't want strapless and I wanted all ivory. But the two dresses I loved more then the others were champagne and nude!

    @Nessa - just read where you asked me what accessories I chose. truth is, I haven't yet. My dress has an illusion back and a v neck front. I'm leaning towards pearls but not quite sure. I'm the last of the granddaughters in my family to get married, all of the others have picked out an accessory from our late grandmother's jewelry box. Once I do that, I'll know more which direction to head.

    My dress has a champagne layer with two layers of ivory lace over and pale pink flowers on the lace. I added a pink sash to make the flowers pop! I was surprised I liked it because I always wanted pure white, but this looked so great with my skin tone! This is a picture I took a few days ago of my dress with my sola flower bouquet and shoes. It was the first time I had them all together and I absolutely love it!!! There are so many beautiful dresses on this thread!
