I wanted white, but my dream dress only came in Ivory. It was a small sacrifice but totally worth it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-110853 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:07:58 +0000 Mrs.KMM 110853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-109145 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:09:17 +0000 winniebee 109145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was ivory....silk satin - oh how I loved it : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-109134 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:03:21 +0000 Alivoo01 109134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was ivory as well, but looked white unless I was up against something that was bright white. I tried on a white wedding gown, but it washed me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-108156 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:35:48 +0000 anbanan15 108156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was technically ivory although you couldn't tell unless it was next to something true white. White just didn't look right on my olive skintone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-108153 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:29:53 +0000 pastemoo 108153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>why is your mom still upset about ivory? Ivory *IS* white, it's just a shade of white!<br /> I showed my husband a bunch of dress colors when he said "it better be white" and he said the ivory ones counted as white. </p> <p>Oh, mothers. And mother's in law. They're the only ones who can really get upset about something so little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-108145 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:23:52 +0000 littlebug 108145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think mine was called "light ivory" or something. So, no, not pure white. And any future daughters we have will be allowed to wear whatever she wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-108141 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:17:48 +0000 pastemoo 108141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>white white-- the ivory ones made me look overly tan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-108094 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 23:41:49 +0000 MsMini 108094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was ivory, it was lace, and I preferred the look of ivory lace over white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-108067 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:30:58 +0000 lemondrop 108067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went with white white, I figured I would go for it since I never wear white- I'm too messy. It had frosting and coffee all over it by the time the night was over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-108047 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:44:43 +0000 singingbee 108047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ivory. It was gorgeous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-108038 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:19:22 +0000 ecogirl 108038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness she is still holding that over you? Haha :) I wore a very light blue wedding gown! I loved it! I have blonde hair and blue eyes and look awful in white and ivory! My husband was not expecting it and in the video of our wedding you can see him gasp and say WOW! Haha :) I got it at a consignment shop for a few hundred! Such a steal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-108004 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:19:10 +0000 sslm 108004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was ivory. I'm pale and I didn't like how white looked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-107466 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:13:41 +0000 BSB 107466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was diamond white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100969 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 13:08:51 +0000 MamaG 100969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Light gold, it fit my summer sunkissed skin and the Vegas lights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100965 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 12:52:20 +0000 cyndistar3 100965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was ivory but not because I didn't feel I couldn't wear a white dress, it just looked nice. I honestly don't think it makes a difference anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100952 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 12:12:03 +0000 littleveesmommy 100952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dress was a ivory too! I loved it and the color just went better with my skin tone. </p> <p>Bummer about you MIL's comment - that's not very nice to say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100946 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 12:04:56 +0000 MrsH 100946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ivory/diamond white, I'm super pale and any true whites would have washed me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100911 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 09:51:10 +0000 Cchoi4 100911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine was "diamond white", which wasn't white white...but wasn't ivory either. Looking back on the wedding pictures, I would have been happy with ivory too.<br /> Is that really an issue anymore - pure white dress vs ivory dress? I didn't even know this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100866 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 08:27:51 +0000 LinzR 100866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was ivory. Loved it! The beading was platinum colored, and just didn't look as "soft" on the white sample. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100849 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 08:11:04 +0000 pelikila 100849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was ivory. I think the color of the dress should be more about a color that compliments an individual's skin tone rather than what is "traditional". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100845 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 08:02:23 +0000 heffalump 100845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A very dark ivory. My mil and mom helped me pick it out, but they're not traditional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100830 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 07:19:49 +0000 chopsuey 100830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine wasn't stark white, but it wasn't ivory either.. I'd say a slightly off white? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100796 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 04:35:55 +0000 mediagirl 100796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, Lol. Poor lo being pressured into getting married and wearing a white dress already! </p> <p>Mine was white but not stark white. The color went great with my complexion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100786 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 03:11:02 +0000 SugarplumsMom 100786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope you responded by saying that you want to raise her to be able to pick whatever dress she wants without feeling pressure from people that's been married decades past ;)</p> <p>My dress was a creamy beige. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100780 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 02:36:30 +0000 joyjoy 100780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was ivory, too. </p> <p>@cupcakemama: I think the same thing, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100774 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 01:33:53 +0000 Mrs. Bicycle 100774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ivory, because I'm a red head and have fair skin and thought that I looked better in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100771 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 01:02:09 +0000 cupcakemama 100771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was Magie Sottero 'light gold'. It's actually a rich cream colour and was really pretty, I think. Clearly your MIL would have been horrified! Lol.</p> <p>I think this whole ivory vs white thing is stupid. Ivory, cream, white, whatever, it's all the same! Just some shades look better on different people. When I hear people say they didn't wear white I am always thinking that they wore red or blue or something, not ivory! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-was-your-wedding-dress#post-100751 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:38:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 100751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was ivory too. White just isn't that flattering for so many skin types. Ivory looked much better on me. </p>
