White vs. Ivory

Pure white is the tradition color of the bride, but it does not always look good on everyone. Your skin tone should be a determining factor to weather you wear white or ivory. For someone that is very pail or fair, white can tend to wash you out. For some darker complexions, white is too stark. Since Polyester is a man made fiber, white polyester tends to kick off a blue hue, making it look a bit artificial; "Diamond white" polyester helps to avoid this. In these cases, Ivory will bring out your warm glow. Ivory is a rich color and is a popular color that brides pick now of days. The most beautiful white comes from a white silk. White silk is never a pure white, therefore brings out a clean glow. The color that is the most photogenic is ivory.
The groom: If he chooses to wear white or ivory, he should preferably wear whichever color the bride is going to wear.
