Lay the blame on Queen Victoria of England if you are having a hard time choosing from a bewildering array of wedding dresses, all in various hues of white. Then again, maybe it is not Queen Victoria to blame!
Look at it this way. If you have selected the perfect design for your wedding dress and yet an indefinable something is still off, that something can be the hue, the undertone, the tint to the white wedding dress you have been salivating after. In order to choose the right white to your wedding dress, here is short guide.
Very Fair Skin
Stay away from the bright lights, er, whites! You will only look washed out, almost like the lack of contrast of white paper on white paper. Instead, you should opt for warmer shades of white with touches of yellow to infuse a warm glow to your skin.
If you desire, you can even incorporate touches of very pale yellow to your wedding dress. The important thing is that your very fair skin will not compete with the starkness of your bright white wedding dress.
Olive Skin
If you have olive skin, or skin that is on the sallow side, you have to look for a wedding dress in cool whites. If this is Greek to you, think of white with pink undertones like champagne white, rum white and silk white.
These white tones will give you a fresh, dewy look that will complement your olive skin more than stark white can possibly provide. Besides, the names themselves make you want to get married already!
