Color Dilema!

[ali82fla]

My wedding dress is Ivory and the bridesmaids are in peridot green. It's a beach wedding so the guys are wearing black pants and button down shirts, but will white shirts make my ivory dress look dirty? If so, then what color besides the green could they wear? And, does this mean my linens need to be ivory also? Thanks!

In my opinion, the white shirts will not affect your dress at all. At my sister's wedding the gm's wore white shirts and ivory dinner jackets and it looked fabulous. no worries.

Or try getting Ivory shirts with the tuxes...if that is what they are wearing. My dress is Ivory and the tux shop has Ivory shirts.

i was thinking the ivory too. and how about peridot table linnens?

I've always been told that white shirts will make your ivory dress look dirty... for an example, go look at an ivory garter that has white in the decoration.

I'd go with ivory shirts for them... or maybe mix it up; your FH and BM in ivory, other GM in peridot.

I think the linens can go either way without being a problem. I got ivory for mine, but that's mostly because I don't really like white... at all.

I think it would look excellent with peridot table skirts and napkins and ivory tablecloths, if you could do that.

My dress is ivory and my guys are wearing ivory shirts. I'm going to have white table linens though....it's what the country club has. If I want ivory, I have to rent them from somewhere. :(
