Yes I am so glad to hear other people enthusing about colour!<br /><br />Also - if you have Irish genes, how about green - usually looks good with your skin tone. Do you have red hair too :) Then you just need a forest to prance around in and some daisies.<br /><br />I too have celtic pale skin and will definitely be wearing colour for my own wedding - just because it's so much more interesting, unusual, fabulous, and less virginal than white.<br /><br />I SO want more brides to wear colour. The white thing is strange to me.ActsofBeautyhttp://www.actsofbeauty.co.uk/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-74612136861543297392011-02-09T07:41:21.113-08:002011-02-09T07:41:21.113-08:00i'll take one for the team and wear that ivory...i'll take one for the team and wear that ivory thakoon around for a while if the bride-to-be isn't into it. <br /><br />i'm with team grey up there, and i also think silver would be boss. did you know that according to the eastern european astrological calendar, 2011 is the year of lamé? true story.laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429404210444847213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-39401422785453362232011-02-09T03:35:52.055-08:002011-02-09T03:35:52.055-08:00This might sound odd but have you actually tried o...This might sound odd but have you actually tried on anything in the dreaded bright white yet? I found that all the dresses I tried on in ivory/cream/champagne - ie, just-off-white - simply blended with my just-off-white skin. When I tried pure white, it made some contrast and I was surprised by how well it worked! The key is the type of fabric. I ended up with a tea-length dress in pure white but made from soft materials - silk georgette with a tulle overlay. The softness took away that 'bright' factor.Marleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-61875927395379858682011-02-08T19:38:20.835-08:002011-02-08T19:38:20.835-08:00holy god, those brown 90's mules ARE hideo.holy god, those brown 90's mules ARE hideo.walshe44noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-58015065744368108522011-02-08T19:29:22.366-08:002011-02-08T19:29:22.366-08:00I've bought the Jenny Yoo Norah dress for myse...I've bought the Jenny Yoo Norah dress for myself in the bridal style (white,) but I toyed for a month with getting it in one of the lighter coloured alternatives, like fawn.

This is incredibly resourceful for me. I promise to send the ESB photos after the uneventful events in May so you can see what I come up with (assuming it all comes together ok, ha!) I love the idea of wearing a dress in a different color...and am with you with all the short dresses (just wish my legs were not the absolute whitest part of my body). For some reason I'm still drawn towards an ivory/champagne dress simply because I'll most likely never wear these colors in my life but if the ivory/champagne dresses don't pan out I'll seriously consider a grey or maybe soft pink.

I tried the champagne look, but it wasn't for me. Just like @Miss K said, wear whatever color you want, whatever dress you feel awesome wearing. Don't worry if it's not "bridal" or even some derivation of white. No one will care but you.

(I know, I know, but my hubs and I are swing dancers and I didn't want to dance in a long gown nor get married in a short dress.)<br /><br />For the reception, I got an ivory dress from Nordstrom's. They have a great return policy, as long as you keep the receipt. I just ordered ivory dresses, kept my favorite, and returned the rest. I have a pretty good idea of what colors look good on me, but trying on the different shades was eye opening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-49619086703294108332011-02-08T09:08:09.636-08:002011-02-08T09:08:09.636-08:00I'm wicked pale too and tend to go blue in my ...I'm wicked pale too and tend to go blue in my lower extremities if I stand around for too long.
