Grooms shirt

Rachel, on May 6, 2017 at 07:37 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 18
Hey ladies!I picked up my dress yesterday and I'm totally in love! HahaMy dress is ivory. The lady at the store suggested that my FH wear an ivory dress shirt and not a white dress shirt. She said on the day you won't notice too much but in photos you will. I never considered this? Is this true? Will a white shirt and my dress clash? Eek! Help!

    You may not realize it on the day. It will look good on your pictures after. Go with the ivory dress shirt for sure.

    Definitely match, if you have ivory and white, the Ivory will look really off color almost like someone has been smoking near it or that it will look dirty. congrats on finding your dress!

    We recently redid headshots at my office and the photographer said no white and no red, because of the way it reflects light. Off white is usually a much safer choice on camera, not for clashing, but for everyone to look their best on film.

    My outfit is a secret so I'll probably take his shirt for comparison and let him know if it needs to change.

    I had to buy one today, overseas for our engagement shots! I bought a dress that was black ivory and fuschia and when I put my FH white shirt against my dress with all those colours you could still see the difference between the Ivory and the white . So I witnessed it first hand! I found it though! Smiley smile Phew!

    I haven't thought about this either! Thanks for the tip though! I guess it would definitely make a difference in pictures. My dress is oyster with an ivory lace overlay.

    Chelsea hit the nail on the head. White is so clean and crisp, the off-white in the ivory will make it look more of a dirty colour. But of course just put the shirt by your dress and you will see!

    I think it will depend on how deep the ivory of you dress is compared to the shirt. I would suggest getting the white shirt he intends to wear and putting it next to your dress and seeing if it really clashes. If it does then you can return his shirt and get an ivory one. Keep in mind though that his suit colour will be in between your dress and his shirt so it may not be as noticeable.

    100% true! I have an ivory dress. Putting white next to it, makes it look dirty. My fiance is wearing an ivory shirt to avoid that! Most professionals will say to go with an ivory shirt if your dress is ivory!
