There's no other tradition as
synonymous with marriage as the white wedding gown. But white is never just
white—there are varying shades to choose from. What's important is choosing the
shade of white that looks best on you. The easiest formula to follow: The
darker your skin tone, the brighter the white you can wear well.
Stark white
The brightest, crispest white you can get. This whitest white is
best achieved with synthetic fabrics (satins, taffetas, polyester blends). This
color looks stunning against dark skin. Fair-skinned beauties should stay far
away -- it'll wash you out.
Natural white
Also called “silk white" or “diamond white," this is
the whitest white for natural fibers—a shade off stark white. It looks pretty
much the same in photos but is much more flattering to most skin tones
(especially skin with yellow undertones).
Ivory
Also referred to as “eggshell" or “candlelight, some ivory
dresses have yellow undertones, making them look creamy, while others are just
a “quiet" white. Fairer skin tones and women with pink undertones in their
skin look best in yellow-ivories.
Champagne
Has pink and gold undertones, but looks nearly white in photos,
so it's great for dark complexions or yellow/olive undertones.
Colors
There's no rule that says you must wear white at all. In recent
seasons, designers have created dresses in soft shades of lavender, rose, even
blue, or with color in the details: embroidery, lace, bands of satin. If your
complexion gets totally washed out by white—no matter what shade—send up the
white flag and try a color.
