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.

    Champagne with ivory overlay, this was a new sample so I am happy to say it SHOULD look exactly like this one! (With bigger cups for my girls lol) ETA letters...

    Cropped out my niece -

    My is champagne and ivory and I love it.

    I do overthink sometimes but as soon as I put it on again I know it's the right dress for me.

    When I went to DB (I end up buying elsewhere) they said a lot of dresses don't even come in white anymore. Ivory is becoming very very common these days

    Mine is a pearl white with silver and lavender stitching that makes the whole dress look lavender. You don't have to be in white to be bridal!

    @Nessa I'm pretty sure that you and I are dress twins!!! Mori Lee, right?? I also struggled a little bit with it being a little different (as in not traditional white/ivory) but I think that the champagne/nude undertones are what really make the lace pop!! It looks beautiful on you!!

    This is actually a prom dress. It has a beige lining underneath the ivory lace.

    I hid my comment so I could update with a new picture (on mobile). I have been struggling with whether or not I still loved the dress I picked out so before making the final decision to try and sell it I decided to try it on. I'm glad I did. It's a great dress and with a few alterations and maybe some weight loss, I think it will look even better on me. It's ivory over blush which is part of the reason I originally fell in love with it.

    My dress is black with white undertones. We are getting married Halloween, so this was my pick! I had to try on a similar style for sizing as my dress was not a sample. Here is the designer pic. Smiley smile

    My dress is similar in color to yours. The top is ivory and the bottom is a tan color. I wish it had come in white but oh well. I don't think you'll regret that dress. It's very bridal even without the all white!
