What does an off-white wedding dress mean?

Great question! An off-white wedding dress means that the gown is "almost white" with a variety of subtle shades, such as ivory, champagne, or blush undertones. These dresses are becoming more popular than traditional "pure white" wedding dresses because they offer a more flattering look across diverse skin tones, thanks to their warmer undertones.

Why do brides wear off-white?

Many brides choose off-white wedding dresses over traditional pure white because these shades provide a warmer and more flattering appearance. Often, what is marketed as "white" in bridal is actually ivory. Who knew, right?! The off-white palette, including hues like pearl, blush, champagne, and mauve, is perfect for brides seeking a contemporary and fashionable look for their wedding day.

What is an ivory bridal gown?

An ivory bridal gown is a popular choice among our ultra-modern brides, offering a warm tone close to traditional white but with the softness of alabaster or eggshell. (We’re already obsessed!) Ivory wedding dresses are considered more stylish and universally flattering than their pure white counterparts, and they often include subtle undertones of blush, champagne, or cream, enhancing their appeal and versatility!

Is it OK not to wear a white wedding dress?

It is completely okay (and increasingly common!) for brides to choose non-white dresses for their weddings. Many modern brides wear blush, champagne, mauve, cream, and even black wedding dresses, reflecting their personal style and the contemporary aesthetics of today's weddings. Choosing a non-white wedding dress is a wonderful way to express your individuality and embrace a modern bridal look!

Is off-white the same as ivory?

Off-white encompasses a broad spectrum of "almost white" colors, including ivory, pearl, champagne, nude, mauve, and blush. While ivory is part of the off-white category, it is often considered a distinct shade due to its specific warm, eggshell-like tones, setting it apart from other off-white hues. And that’s the inside scoop for you! Happy shopping, brides!
