White versus Ivory dress in winter?

Hi everyone! I was curious what everyone thought of having a white or ivory dress for a winter wedding? I tried on my dress in ivory and then ended up purchasing it in the true white as my mom was concerned with the snow and an ivory dress. I am debating changing my colour back to ivory now as I've heard a lot of bridal stores say they don't carry white as it's hard to pull off and it can lose the details of the dress. I've also seen some photos where it almost looks blue against the snow which I don't really like. I attached a photo below which is in ivory the store didn't carry any white dresses for me to try on.

    I love ivory over white. Sometime white can be too stark and unflattering

    Get the ivory! I was told that most dresses don't come in true white because it's not flattering, and comes across as blue in photos.

    I tried on both white and ivory and I hated ivory in some of the dresses. Tried on the same dress in white and it was the dress I bought. I got married last month in the Bahamas but I was still pale as anything and I loved my white dress.

    Your dress is beautiful as is. Most wedding dresses we see are ivory and not white. I hope you can change yours!

    White tends to be unflattering on a lot of skin tones. Beautiful dress!

    I purchased ivory as I was worried about pure white photographing blue and I felt like bright white just washed me out.

    My dress is ivory, and I didn't even know it wasn't white.

    White did not look in anything I tried on! at least for me!!
