Can Bridesmaids Wear Ivory?
As long as it's the bride’s choice, bridesmaids can wear ivory bridesmaid dresses. Since the bride herself usually wears white or ivory, off-white bridesmaid dresses are not traditional (since most brides like to stand out in the classic bridal hues). However, the unexpected surprise of seeing a bridal party march down the aisle in ivory bridesmaid dresses can make quite a memorable fashion statement! Here are two chic ways to make off-white bridesmaid dresses work well for your wedding.
- Monochromatic Styling: Here’s a look that’s ultra modern! Imagine the bride in classic white surrounded by friends and family decked out in varying shades of off-white bridesmaid dresses. While florals and other accessories can add personality and pops of color, the monochromatic color scheme can be a beautifully unifying experience, especially for a bridal party that’s super close.
- Reverse Color Contrasting: Traditionally, the bride wears white and the bridesmaids wear a contrasting color. But what if the bride isn’t wearing white? Some brides wear red for luck and love or black for special wedding themes, so imagine how much the bride’s colorful gown will pop when set against a sea of ivory bridesmaid dresses. Reversing that traditional color contrast is the perfect recipe for remarkable bridal photos.
