    Wedding Vent/Sook :(

    Postby ExcitedBride2B on Mon Mar 04, 2013 2:13 pm

    Hi ladies,

    There is pretty much ZERO point to this post, but its something that's bugging me (and interrupting my sleep, gosh Im a sook) so I just want to vent.

    I have my wedding dress, which I ordered in dark ivory. I tried on dresses in white, off white, ivory, and oyster. I looooved the darker, oyster/champagne colours on me. I felt they suited my complexion better, and were more 'me' so to speak. But I decided to order dark ivory, so it wasnt toooo different to the mens shirts and FGs dress. Dark ivory was my compromise between the oyster I wanted, and the colour that would suit the rest of the bridal party.

    Anyway long story short, when I took my dress in for alterations last week the lady made a couple comments which have really miffed me. She said, "Oh that colour is... different" and also later on in the appointment she referred to it as a 'yellowy' colour.

    I cant help feeling that everyone else will feel the colour is yuck too, like an old wedding dress that has sat in the wardrobe for too long an has yellowed.

    Im sure she didnt meant to upset me, but she just didnt have a filter I guess.

    So yeah, no point as said, just sooking and googling 'dark ivory wedding dresses' like a crazy woman to try and make myself feel better :sob:

    I dont have any decent pics, the couple pics I have were taken at night in my bedroom so its kind of hard to get a good idea of the colour and the dress is still at said alterations place.

    Nawww, you poor dear!
    I'll also bought a dark ivory gown. Typical bridal fashion just isn't for me, so when I stumbled upon my (ever-so-slightly unconventional) dress online, I pounced on it and bought it on a whim. As much as I love (love love love) my dress and couldn't imagine walking down the aisle in anything else, the teensiest part of me is nervous about showing my friends and family for fear of comments such as "isnt that unusual" or "what an interesting colour" or "it's not the typical bridal gown, is it?". I'm keeping my gown a secret (except from my gorgeous ew-bride-to-be's who have all been amazing and complimentary of my unusual choice) until I source a veil, accessories, etc to show off that it is still "bridey". I shouldnt care so much about what other people think and have to remind myself that although I don't love typical bride fashion I have never been to a wedding and thought the bride (whether I'd wear her frock or not) has looked anything short of gorgeous!
    I have no doubt that everyone will be in awe of how beautiful and in love you look to take notice of your "yellowy" dress. For what it's worth - I think its a beautiful colour :-)

    When you look back at your pics in 10 years time, do you want to look at your dress and think 'wow i love that dress, it is so ME!' or do you want to think 'wow thats a bridal dress .... and i hate it!' I'm guessing you're gonna want to be thinking the first option!

    I agree with the others, it is a lovely colour and I'm sure it will look amazing on you. It sounds like you've made a lot of effort to make sure that everything goes together so on the day it will come together nicely.

    Some of these alterations people can be quite rude! We went to an alterations lady once (who shall remain nameless) who told my bridesmaids that they were all too fat in the stomach for their dresses and needed to go out and get spanx! We were all pretty shocked, especially considering none of the girls were larger than a size 10 (not that it should even matter) We never went back there
