My wedding gown came in Ivory instead of white. It's my first wedding, no children, does it matter that much?
My wedding gown I ordered online is BEAUTIFUL, pure silk, custom/handmade and fits like a glove, but I ordered it in white, and it came as an Ivory/Antique white and I am a little dissapointed. I contacted dying companies, and they said that silk is naturally this color and cannot by dyed. I cannot return the dress or get a refund (believe me, I tried). This is my first marriage, I have no children, and I was looking forward to the traditional white gown, but everyone is telling me that the Ivory is beautiful and old fashion, and that I should just stick with it. Is everyone just trying to make me feel better by telling me to keep the gown? Are there going to be whispers when I walk down the aisle when everyone sees me in ivory instead of white? Is the difference between ivory and white that different? Is the tradition THAT important, or should I just suck it up and stick with this gown? I REALLY love this gown, I am just concerned about it not being pure white = (
Here's something that I found through a google search:
"In modern tradition, the color of western-culture wedding dresses is white. Used in this sense, 'white' or 'wedding white' includes creamy shades such as eggshell, ecru and ivory."
Don't even think of it as an issue. You'll be fine with the ivory. I'm sure you'll look gorgeous (especially if you really love it).... Certainly keep the gown and know that it's considered in the white family. Nobody will question it... as long as you stand tall, have a smile on your face and enjoy your special day!
