Oh I'm so glad you love it now!
I actually don't like ivory very much - it makes my skin look sallow (my first wedding dress was a creamy ivory but that was in the early 90s lol).
This is the last time I'm getting married (no matter what!!) so I was jolly well going to wear white once in my life!!
I got these boots to wear - at £18 they didn't break the bank (great bargain too) as I had huge problems finding nice white or silver shoes at the right heel height.
If you love your ivory ones, then wear them and just ask the photographer to photoshop them paler when he/she's adjusting your photos - it's really easy to do. If you get your pictures on a disc, you can do it yourself with a photo software programme (if I can do it....etc)

I wore bright blue satin shoes. If you like your ivory ones and they're comfortable then wear them!
Also, FWIW, I opened my dress package in the bedroom at home, where the light is yellowish. I'd ordered it in ivory, and it looked absolutely horrible. But then I looked at it under natural light and it was gorgeous. It's hard to tell when you're dealing with a colour that takes on the characteristics of whatever light is available.Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76

Hi Guys,
Feeling much better about the whole thing now! I think that was my bridezilla moment lol!
I've had to leave the dress at my mum's (so didn't want to!) as we live in a studio and there was no room from me to keep it hung up. Probably for the best though as I'd end up examining it every minute lol! It's in a spare room so should be ok.
Next time I go round to try it on I'll take some pics and you can let me know what you think!

I think every girl's allowed a Bridezilla moment, especially about the dress! I'm so glad you like it now though, it will be lovely to se pictures of it!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0
