The Many Shades Of The White Wedding Gown

While most brides are busy deciding on the design of their dress, you also need to determine the color. These days, a "white" wedding dress means many things. There are many shades of white and choosing one should depend on your taste and skin tone. "Stark white” is the brightest white and best for brides with darker skin. Silk, diamond or natural white is a good choice for just about any skin tone. This shade is close to stark white, but is a bit more appealing to the eye. The ivory, eggshell or candlelight white has creamy yellow undertones. It's a good choice for most brides since it highlights many skin tones. Rum or champagne white has pink undertones and may not work with all skin tones. It's best to try this color on in different lighting. Another trick is to have your wedding photographer take photos in a variety of dress shades to better determine the right white for you.
