Should the groom wear a white shirt?

Justina, on March 31, 2017 at 2:38 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 10

I have a champagne wedding dress with ivory detailing over it. My SIL also had an off white dress and said that having the GM wearing white made her dress look like it was dirty. So my question is should I try to get their shirts to match as close as possible. Or throw them in colored shirts. I also wasn't sure if maybe my FH should closely match but maybe if he's the only one in true white it would be fine. Any suggestions?

Note: all the guys will also have vests over their shirts.

    My dress is a light ivory, and my FH is wearing an ivory shirt.

    My dress is called ivory moscato. And all the GM and FH are wearing white shirts with vests. It doesn't make your dress look dirty it makes your dress look champagne which is what it is. I thought it would look wrong too. I did some googling and found it looks fine. So I went with white.

    I would agree, no white. Have them wear ivory.

    Off white is different from ivory, so I think you'll be fine with white

    Every men's store we went to warned us against ivory shirts because they can photograph yellow next to even an off white dress. We chose microfiber white shirts (which aren't the bright white of cotton shirts) for FH and GM to go with my ivory dress.

    Maybe light blue to switch it up? Or ivory.

    Also your dress is beautiful.
