Why Choose an Ivory Wedding Dress?
A warmer alternative to white, ivory flatters a wide range of complexions and hair colours. With its softer contrast against the skin, an ivory wedding gown delivers a more effortless and natural look than stark white. Ivory wedding dresses also photograph beautifully, often reflecting light more naturally in the sun.
Ivory is a universal shade that works effortlessly across wedding settings from formal ceremonies to relaxed celebrations, and pairs naturally with both classic and modern styling.

FAQ & Further Information
A white dress has a bright, crisp finish, while ivory is softer and warmer. White may appear stark on some skin tones or under certain lighting. Ivory, by contrast, tends to blend more naturally with the skin and highlights fabric texture, such as lace or satin, more gently.
Yes, absolutely. Ivory is widely accepted and has long been considered a traditional bridal choice. In fact, it is often preferred over pure white for its softer look and flattering effect.
Ivory is known for being one of the most flattering bridal colours. Its soft, warm tone works well with a wide range of skin tones, particularly warmer and darker complexions. It adds warmth to fair skin and complements medium and olive tones. Brides with deeper complexions can benefit from the gentle contrast ivory provides, as opposed to bright white, which can appear harsh.
First things first, you’ll want to choose underwear that’s less likely to show through. In the case of ivory, soft nude underwear is the best option. Next, your underwear should suit the neckline of the gown, so make sure you choose a comfortable strapless bra if you’re wearing a strapless or off-the-shoulder dress. It’s also recommended to wear seamless underwear, especially if you’ve chosen a fitted style such as a fit-and-flare or sheath gown.
When selecting shoes for an ivory dress, consider softer and warmer tones, such as ivory, cream, champagne, or nude. These colours complement ivory’s warmth without drawing attention away from the dress.
Metallic finishes can also be a good option. Soft gold or champagne tones pair well with ivory fabrics, particularly when the rest of the accessories follow a classic style.
Stylists generally don’t recommend wearing white shoes, as the contrast can feel too sharp against ivory.
It’s important to choose a veil that matches the tone of your wedding gown. Avoid bright white veils in favour of soft ivory or off-white, as they blend more naturally with the gown and create a seamless look.
