I felt the white washed me out terribly, even with a tan!!-- and this is my first wedding. In my opinion, I think you should go with whatever compliments your skin tone. <br />White was the norm, but so was not wearing black to a wedding. Now I see black as the color for weddings. Today's standards have transformed generation to generation. </p> <p>Just if you choose ivory like I have....be-careful when choosing colors for your wedding and decor. I'm going with ivory for the groomsmen and my fiance--also with satin ivory tablecloths, satin ivory chair covers with white accented napkins and other white accented decor including a mix of creme and white colored roses. But then again, my wedding is vintage garden theme so the ivory and pastel green meshes perfectly.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/does-an-ivory-dressivory-shirt-for-the-groomgroomsmen#post-596389 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:36:04 +0000 mspencils 596389@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>i'm thinkin yeah. &nbsp;that's what we're doing! :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/does-an-ivory-dressivory-shirt-for-the-groomgroomsmen#post-596377 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:33:57 +0000 rabbit 596377@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My dress is ivory and we're going to still do white shirts with the navy blue suits. I am not a fan of "ivory" men's shirts and I don't think ivory would look as good with navy blue as white will. I figure I am the bride, I'm suppose to stand out! :) As for looking dirty....I don't think it will. I hope not anyhow!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/does-an-ivory-dressivory-shirt-for-the-groomgroomsmen#post-596297 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:14:18 +0000 lampshade127 596297@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I had the same problem with shirts--it actually still makes me grouchy to think about it. Like many of you said above, my dress is a soft ivory and not yellow. Despite the many opinions offered by the guy at Mens Wearhouse, we decided to have FI wear a white shirt with ivory vest/tie and the groomsmen in white shirts with black vests/ties.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/does-an-ivory-dressivory-shirt-for-the-groomgroomsmen#post-596102 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 09:25:10 +0000 nurseamanda 596102@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>i haven't read all the posts but my dress is ivory, and i'm just not a big fan of white anything, so i'm thinking we'll do off-white of ivory for the guys.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/does-an-ivory-dressivory-shirt-for-the-groomgroomsmen#post-596060 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 09:15:08 +0000 Erin_E 596060@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I know this is an old thread, but I went to Men's Warehouse last night and had the same issue.&nbsp; Those shirts are definitely yellow!&nbsp; The saleswoman kept trying to push it since I said my dress was ivory.&nbsp; But like others said, it is a very light ivory, with silver detailings, so I do not think that it would look good with such a yellow-ivory.&nbsp; Ugg, I was so disapointed with Men's Warehouse.&nbsp; Don't they advertise that they can match any color from David's Bridal?&nbsp; This is not the case at all.&nbsp; So in my head I was thinking,&nbsp;we can go try After Hours&nbsp;Formal Wear and see&nbsp;what color vests &amp; ties they have, but apparently they&nbsp;were bought by Men's Warehouse.&nbsp; Anyway, if this is where we end up getting the tuxes,&nbsp;we are definitely going with white shirts.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/does-an-ivory-dressivory-shirt-for-the-groomgroomsmen#post-163344 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:18:48 +0000 MsHymanRoth 163344@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My dress is a soft white, not as dark as ivory, but not bright white. The first thing my mom said was, NOBODY CAN WEAR WHITE. Lol. I guess if the groomsmen/fathers/groom etc are wearing white it will make the dress look dirty? </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/does-an-ivory-dressivory-shirt-for-the-groomgroomsmen#post-163247 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:13:18 +0000 blightygirl 163247@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>David's Bridal insisted that my FH wear ivory to match my ivory dress or else my dress could look &quot;dirty&quot; in comparsion in photos.&nbsp; </p> <p>However, like white, there are a million shades of ivory.&nbsp; So when I hem my dress, I'm going to ask for the extra fabric and bring it along when&nbsp;we get FH's shirt.&nbsp; Hopefully, we can get a close match.&nbsp; For the groomsmen, I'm just going to say ivory...even if they show up in white, I'm sure it'll be fine.&nbsp; They're not wearing the same suit, and I'm putting them in matching ties and bouts.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/does-an-ivory-dressivory-shirt-for-the-groomgroomsmen#post-163170 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 12:14:54 +0000 beekeebear 163170@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>my dress is ivory and my fiance is wearing an ivory shirt, chocolate tux, aqua vest, ivory tie. other groomsmen are wearing the same but with aqua tie instead of ivory.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/does-an-ivory-dressivory-shirt-for-the-groomgroomsmen#post-162523 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 14:33:58 +0000 lovingpink 162523@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>my dress is ivory too and the guys are wearing white shirts with the ivory vest. </p>
