I’ve never been a fan of white wedding dresses – in my opinion ivory weddings are far more attractive. Pure white is a harsh colour – while ivory is a lot more forgiving for many brides. Ivory is easy to match through too with decorations, flowers and jewelry all readily available in ivory.  To give it a bit of oomph I would probably dress the bridesmaids and attendents in a strong primary colour such as a dark red or old gold – which would contrast nicely with the bride’s ivory wedding dress.

Ivorty will work with either silver or gold jewelry – although a string of pearls would be perfect too.  A wedding veil in gold lace would have the wow factor – or a simple hair piece featuring fresh flowers and pearls would be a less traditional look. If you wanted an antique or Victorian themed wedding ivory would make an excellent colour choice.
