Dress colour doubts

Ali, on January 4, 2019 at 20:10 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 36
Hi all,

I turn to you because I'm feeling kind of crazy and I'm going crazy having second thoughts about the colour of my dress! I found the dress style of my dreams but when I said yes to the dress in the store I was wearing a moscato coloured dress with ivory lace/tulle overlay. I ordered the dress in ivory with ivory lace/tulle and now I feel like I've lost all the detail I first fell in love with. Basically I feel like the ivory on ivory makes the details seem much more subtle and on the moscato dress it seems to pop so much more.

Just to paint a picture, my wedding is in October at an '1800s -historic styled' brewery location.

I reached out to the bridal salon and they're willing to order a new dress in moscato and exchange my ivory one for me. I'm so fortunate to be able to have this option but I'm worried about making the right decision. My FMIL would prefer the ivory as it's more 'traditionally' white and my MOH also prefers ivory but supports whatever I decide.

Has anyone else had this struggle or thought process when dress shopping??

Please halp!

Thanks,
Ali

I've attached photos for reference but understand the lighting is different in each.

    Both are so lovely. But that moscato is bomb on you, the details totally pop, you’re right. Great decision!

    I know that I'm a bit late to the discussion but I just wanted to let you know that I think you made the right choice IMO. You look stunning in both versions but I really do feel that the moscato really shows off all that detail of the lace. Congrats on the dress!!

    I had the same issue and I talked with the wedding store consultant as my friends wanted me to get ivory but I really liked the blush the consultant said the same thing the detail pops on the blush and the ivory makes it more played down

    I can send a pic of you like

    Update!
    I visited the salon yesterday with my mom and my MOH and was able to try both dresses on. The decision? MOSCATO! hands down this is my dream dress and I even found the perfect veil to go with it!

    Once again, THANK YOU everyone. Your opinions are all so genuine and helpful in seeing the beauty of both dresses- but I'm trusting my gut on this one!

    I love the ivory ivory!!! I feel like it looks more bridal from the first! I understand what you're saying the details are more subtle, but you can still see them and I find it less busy now! I love detailed dresses but I find when they are too busy the attention is drawn away from you! The ivory/ivory is much more flattering I feel!

    Both are beautiful! I like the moscato just a little more as I’m all for a rustic look, but go with your gut! You don’t want to regret it and dwell after the big day and looking back at pictures.

    I think you look beautiful in both but wow the 1st dress really makes the lace pop! I am sure its not an easy decision. Its almost easier not to know what others prefer in some cases. Follow your heart.

    Both are beautiful, but the moscato one definitely makes the lace pop! It gives the dress a vintage vibe to it, which I can't get over!!

    I'll echo what everyone else has said. They are both gorgeous and you look absolutely stunning in them!!! And, go with your gut.

    My preference is the moscato because of how the lace pops, but you know in your heart which way to go. Smiley smile

    Both are really beautiful but I do agree the detail is lost a bit in the ivory. I’m pretty obsessed with lightly coloured dresses so my opinion is absolutely biased lol. I know it’s hard to choose but it’s your dress. Try to go with your gut and not think about other opinions.

    Both are so gorgeous, but the moscato really makes the lace overlay pop, as others have mentioned. Go with your gut on this - you'll be so happy you did.

    I also tried on my dress is moscato but ordered ivory on ivory. Tbh both colours look great but I feel like the ivory on ivory looks more bridal and it does show the detail as well. Go with your gut. Good luck.

    You all are so amazing and sweet! Thank you for taking the time to hear me out and reassure me I cant go wrong with either option. I'm visiting the salon tomorrow to hopefully compare both dresses side by side in person. Seriously, you've all made me feel so much better about my doubts. Thank you xo

    Definitely go with your gut. You fell in love with the moscato, so I don't think you should change to all ivory! You look absolutely gorgeous, and the colour choice is perfect for you!

    I agree with everyone else who said that the Moscato colour is really gorgeous on you! I prefer it tbh since the details of the lace really pop with it.

    First I think whatever you choose is going to look amazing. I love the look of the moscato and think it will suit your theme. Its your wedding at the end of the day, do what makes you happy. I went with a champagne and Ivory dress and I am so happy with my decision.

    I completely understand why you are second guessing your choice!
    1. The dress is beautiful and you will look amazing regardless.
    2. I also tried my dress on in moscato/ ivory and fell in love with it. Also ordered it in ivory! Although I have pictures from when I ordered it and when I picked up my dress, personally I like the look of the ivory because it is more bridal.
    At the end of the day it’s what is going to make you feel good!

    I also tried on my dress in a moscato colour (is yours Essense Designs too? Lol) .. but I ordered in ivory. Yes, the applique showed up more on the darker dress, but everyone (who has seen the dress, mom, bridesmaids, etc) says it's much more elegant/bridal in ivory... where the moscato dress kind of reminded them of an evening gown. I love the ivory. I was even going to order white but it would have been too harsh with my skin tone.

    In my opinion, both are gorgeous, but you made a good call with going with ivory. You can still see the detail, and it's just stunning
