    I'm getting married in Tulum, Mexico in June.  I purchased my wedding dress, however I wasn't able to order it in white and therefore had to get ivory.  So...I am confused with what colors to go with for my bridesmaid dresses.  I REALLY wanted citrus green, however I don't think this will work with ivory.  What are your opinions on what "goes" with ivory.  I am thinking warmer colors like terracota.  However any pastal is out, as my sister can not wear them with her skin tone.  HELP!

    LOL , my wedding colors are citris green ivory and pink , so _I_ think it works well but thats just me. I'm pale so "white" does not work with me but ivory suits me perfect! I LOVE the terracota color too though  , what work best with the skin tones involves , I know bright greens can really work not well with some complections...

    ivory is baically the same as white... you should be able to use whatever colors you like.  Champagne wedding dresses is where it gets trickyBridesmaid dress color dilemma!  Help! :  wedding bridesmaid dresses dilemma mexico Icon Razz

    First of all, I have been to Tulum and it is GORGEOUS!!  I am very jealous and would love to go back there someday...hmmm honeymoon maybe?  I have heard from several people that no girl should go with just plain white.  I think ivory is more flattering and will look better in pictures.  The citrus green will look great for your FIESTA!

    I think citrus green would compliment your ivory green very nicely!  What is it about the color combo that you're worried about? A wedding in Mexico does scream for a splash of bright colors, so definitely not pastel.  Terracotta would be beautiful, too!

    Thank you all for responding.  Do you all really think citrus green will look good with ivory?  I thought it might make my dress looking ivory/yellow.  I would LOVE to do citcus green. 

    Let me know what you think...

    Everything goes with ivory- absolutely everything including citrus green. You will be fine and your pics will come out beautiful (not yellow).
