Nude vs ivory underlay help

I bought this dress tuesday off the rack for a discount. However, I'm second guessing myself on the color. It's ivory tulle over nude which gives the tulle a nice streaky look which I love!

I bought this dress tuesday off the rack for a discount. However, I'm second guessing myself on the color. It's ivory tulle over nude which gives the tulle a nice streaky look which I love! The appliqués stand out more as well but I don't care much for that on my dress. I was really torn on buying this one or ordering ivory. Everyone who sees me in a dress says the champagne or nude colors look best with my fair complexion. I do think it's pretty but I already feel like less of a bride because I always thought of myself in ivory. With the top having a nude underlay, I feel like there's hardly any white. Should I try to see if I can order the white? The middle pic is the ivory and the other 2 are of me in the nude color. Why is this such a hard decision.

    If you feel like less of a bride because it is not ivory and ordering it in ivory is within your timeframe and budget then of course you should try to order it in ivory!

    The dress is gorgeous, in both the nude and ivory. Picking a wedding dress is a difficult decision. Go with what will make you most comfortable on your wedding day!

    I think your dress is absolutely beautiful! It is definitely bridal, just not the typical white, which I have come to love.

    I felt the same way about color when I started dress shopping. But I kept coming back to a dress I loved even with it not being traditional white. I eventually bought ivory dress with a champagne underlay and it looked better in pictures than I thought it would. Try not to overthink it too much.

    Is the money you saved worth the different color? It is your wedding day after all, wear exactly what you want.

    All 3 of these photos look like different colors. I prefer the first photo (far left). It has a blush look which I love!

    I like the nude one best. But, YOU have to wear it and if its making you feel less of a bride then screw what the rest of us say, get what makes you feel happiest!! did you get to try the all white/ivory one?

    Thank you. You look beautiful in your dress! I do like the ivory better but can't seem to justify spending a few hundred more for it.

    If it was a blush or champagne instead of nude I feel like I'd be completely okay with it. The first is without the flash and the other is with. Here is a better picture of the color comparison. I should've just attached it to the OP, lol. Nude vs ivory underlay help 3

    A lot of people who saw me in it say they like the nude best, too. I do love it as well but felt like something was missing with it not being ivory on ivory. I wish I could've tried it on but all they could do was hold up ivory underneath the tulle. Nude vs ivory underlay help 4

    I think they both r beautiful. but if u want to do ivory- do it.
    i had the same problem with my dress- it has a peachy pink for one of the layers and everybody loved the color. but i didn't lol so i got a seamstress to change it to the nude color i wanted from the beginning. and i'm so glad i did- u will honestly feel so much better once you've done what u want. everyone will think u r gorgeous

    I think there's no question then - you should get the ivory over ivory if that's gonna make you happy.

    I think some times we have this idea of how well look on our wedding day and deciding on another look can make that confusing. That’s how I felt too but I remind myself of how I felt when I had it on. ♥️

    I think the nude looks great but if that's not what you want then dont settle , you only get married once, this dress should make you feel amazing not make you second guess. If you want ivory then you go get that ivory girl.
