Are you sticking with the tried-and-true tradition of wearing white on the wedding day? Or are you wearing more modern and colorful attire? (Bring on the blush, blue, and lavender dresses!! Smiley love )

    I haven't started dress shopping yet so I'm really not sold on anything yet. I think I will most likely go with something ivory, but I have considered black and will keep an open mind about color. I did see a blush gown I loved (on the model at least).

    Modern. Going with a blush dress. But I feel like blush is becoming more and more traditional.

    95% traditional I guess? It is a champagne dress with ivory overlay. I chose it because pure white would look terrible on me and I wanted a more vintage feel. fH will be in dark gray tux- not so secretly hoping it has a vest because vests look amazing on him

    Ivory, which I am sure is traditional.

    With that being said, being our second marriage, my grandmother asked my mom if I was going to be wearing white, and if it was going to still be a white wedding.... that kinda felt rude in a way knowing my grandmother.
