I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion about which color (white, off-white, ivory) would look best on a blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin bride.
Also, I was wondering if I need to order a crinoline or just a slip with dress style D525 of Essence of Australia. It's an A-line, slim skirt.

Thanks in advance!

I had the same issue with fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes. I found that when I tried on ivory or off-white dresses everything kind of blended together due to an almost perfect match of skin and hair. What I would suggest is to go to your nearest bridal shop and try on a dress of each color.

Now for petticoat verses hoopskirt. Most brides are very confused about this. A hoopskirt or crinoline is used under full skirts like Essence of Australia D541 and D539. A-line dresses usually use a petticoat with some kind of "poof" to it. The particular dress you have choosen doesn't even need a poof if you do not want. Your gown would only need a small petticoat if you do use one.

I hope this helps. Wedding dress shopping is very confusing.

I really appreciate your input. I've tried white and off-white and couldn't really tell what looked better. A bridal boutique assistant also pointed out that off-white gowns would look better on me.
The whole what goes under the dress also confused me, but you made a good point.

Thanks a lot!

You will want to use this slip under the dress. Not a crinoline. http://www.bestbridalprices.com/slip70.php As far as the color goes, that's up to you. I think the white would look very nice on you but that's a personal preference.

I'm a blondie fair skinned bride. I actually wore a pretty white shiny bridal gown with a soft very light pinkish hue. It made my skin look good. We can't hide the fact that we are fair skinned, so we might just as well accent it with a nice color. I think you should try like a light pink dress or a champagne colored dress, you may look great in it too!

White is just white. Diamond white is in between White and Ivory. It's the most popular color today. It's hard to tell the difference between white and Diamond white unless you have the colors next to each other.
