  • Please don't take offence at this but why do you ask advice for every detail of your wedding planning? I feel as tho I know your wedding as well as my own
    Surely you know which colours suit you best?

    hehe because the other half doesn't really care and i have no one to ask at this very moment, i tend to wear colours and then later see photos and go oh god i look washed out but white isn't a colour i wear so i have no idea.

    i just know i'm blonde fair skinned blue eyes but tans not burns.

    just ignore me :) x

    The obvious answer is, the one you like the best.

    tbh i dont like any of them.

    i just keep looking and going hmm i cant see it in any of those colours although it has to be in one.
  • Hi ya,

    Hold the swatches up to your face and see what one complements your skin tone the best..ie I suit white makes my skin glow..where as ivory drains me and makes me look tired!

    hope that helps,

    I personally wouldn't put ivory and white together. Why can'y you have 'colour'?

    im a little confused, by ivory and ivory polka dot do you literally mean ivory dots on ivory fabric, sorry for being dense but cant remember what the dress was like or described as. I would have said if you have pale skin white would be too........ white lol.

    dont worry my OH is the same I talk and he just nods happily because he can see im happy but sometimes its nice to get an opinion or view. The only time he says anything is if he doesnt like what Im thinking of doing lol.



    just noticed you said there are other colours, are they really that bright or just not colours you would go with??
