I tried this dress on in ivory, but unfortunately I don't have any pictures. It was very beautiful, though! If your skin looks best in the champagne dress, I definitely wouldn't go with pure white because it will make you look sallow. The ivory would probably be a good compromise, but not if you don't think you're going to like it...that's a hard dilemma and I hope you're happy with whatever you decide!
I think you need to tell him that white washes people out like none other. It's a really hard color to pull off, especially diamond white- that's practically blinding! Maybe you could try on a shirt the same color and make him pay attention to your skin.
KMSull, diamond white is more like ivory -- it's a soft, off-white, not a blinding white. That's what my dress was, and I definitely can't wear white!! Just didn't want anyone to be confused :)
See the trouble isn't that the white washes me out...the trouble is that it makes my skin tone stand out way too much. In the bright white dresses I feel like all you see is the contrast and not me or the dress..if that makes any sense. I have a warm skin tone and in the white it looks much too dark. I know it sounds odd and prob doesn't make sense.
I would post pics of me trying on the dress, but we really didn't get any good ones since the sample was a size 8 and it was hard to get a pic that would do it justice.
@bb - the dress in the picture that is the one you fell in love with or is that the all-antique gold? All I know is that maggie's colours are all very close together - they have soft subtle differences.
Can you post a pic just so we can see the colour?
He may not even notice that it isn't white white -it is still a shade of white!
CONGRATS on finding the one!
I honestly doubt he'd even notice that it's not technically "white" - I know my FI would never know the difference!!
I would get the one that looks the most flattering on you. I don't think any man could argue about the color of the dress when he sees the woman of his dreams in it, y'know? You're going to walk down the aisle and look phenominal, and he'll be so amazed by how gorgeous you are that the last thing he'll think about is the color of the dress. At least that's what I think. :)
Good luck with your dress! :)
honestly i bet he probably wouldn't even notice that it wasn't white!!
I have a friend with a goldeny skin tone who just got married last weekend and wore the Vogue Royale in diamond white. You could NOT tell that it wasn't white. In fact, she even wore my very sheer white veil with her dress and it looked fine. I think you'll be ok! =) Good luck!
Like others have said, I don't think most guys would know a difference between true white vs. diamond white/ivory/light champagne... I think only us brides really get the difference between all these. I think to most average guys any of these would be a "white" wedding dress. Unless your FI really knows his colors and truly meant he wants to see you in a "white-white" dress I think you're perfectly safe to go with what you think looks best against your skin tone.
I agree with PPs. I don't think he will even notice that it's not a stark white. Unless someone else stands beside you in a WHITE white dress, and I'm pretty sure you won't have to worry about that happening! 
My dress is diamond white, and to me it looked WHITE white. Until the saleswoman held up a real white one next to me, and then mine didn't look nearly as bright.
My daughter's gown was Diamond White and champagne and also came in white on white. Biggest difference to us was how it photographed. Details are much more pronounced with some off shades of color. My neice's gown was gorgeous,but in her wedding pictures she was completely disappointed the photographer was unable to capture all the detail...it was lost on the white.
I think your dress is beautiful,and agree he won't notice it isn't bright white. Get the one that makes you look and feel the best!
I doubt he'll notice and I wouldn't mention it! Wear what you want.
I think you should go for the colour you fell in love with. As I've mentioned in other dresses, I originally told my consultant I wanted a diamond white dress because it just seems so much more traditional. I was overly concerned with what other would or might say if they saw me walking down the aisle in a light gold dress.
As soon as I got home, I started looking at pictures of real brides who got the same dress in diamond white or white and the dress just seemed different. The white really hid all the detailing on the dress and it just didn't look like the same dress I fell in love with. I contacted my consultant and changed my order to light gold.
It's great you're considering your FI's opinion but I don't think he'll be upset when he sees you walking down the aisle. Whenever FI talks about his visions of the wedding, he always talks about me and my white dress. I think though that most guys just assume dresses only come in white and never even considered a slightly off white dress. Good luck in your decision.
Sorry about my color... stupidity! Why did I think it was that ridiculous white color? Oh well!
Thank you so much for all the support ladies!! It is my hope that he won't be thrown off by the color too much. I think I just had my freakout moment this morning because I had a dream last night that he was very disappointed in the color. Maybe I am just thrown off by having light gold in the color wording....I caved today and showed him a zoomed in picture of the detail of the dress to show him the color. He thought it looked white enough and said he trusted my decision. I am feeling a lot better about it all and think I just needed the support from other brides and him. Thanks a bunch!!
I actually thought it looked a lot lighter when I tried it on than it did in the picture on the website, so I'm sure it'll definitely be "white enough". In fact, it actually photographed as white when I tried it on (in diamond white and light gold over champagne)! :)
This was one of my top dresses. I loved the champagne color. If it works with your coloring then rock it out. The lady had me try on one of Maggie's dresses in the white color and it so didn't work. Maybe you can try that. Its a beautiful dress.

Hello All,
I am very excited because this past week I found my wedding dress. The only downside is that my dream dress is in a color that is not my fiance's dream. He really wanted to see me in a white, white dress and unfortunately the dress I fell in love with was this: The Vogue Royale in Diamond White & Champagen over Light Gold
Fortunately, the dress does come in white and ivory, but I just don't feel it has the same wow factor as this one. I don't know what to do...I really want to please my guy (it was his only request in my choosing a gown) Am I thinking about this way too much? Should I just get what I want? I do still have some time to change the color since the order won't be placed for another month. It was just tricky choosing colors at the shop since they didn't have any other options available. Also, my mom and the sales consultant both thought that this color option was the best for my skin tone. Ahhh I don't know what to do!! If you have tried this gown in other colors or went with this could you please help me out in posting your pics to help me decide.
