Question
Hello,
I'm getting married in a very simple barefoot ceremony on the beach in Hawaii in March.  As part of the elopement package I ordered a basic "white" bouquet, and would like my groom to wear khakis and an untucked white button down shirt.  I've just come across an ivory lace gown on David's Bridal that I really like, but will it look bad with white flowers and my fiance's white shirt?  Here's the gown: http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=3189&prodgroup=210

thanks so much!
Delnora

Answer
Hi Delnora:

The dress is very pretty and is perfect for a Hawaiian Beach wedding.  That being said, I do feel that you should have your fiance wear an off white shirt instead of white.  The dress on the website looks white but I am guessing it is actually a very light ivory.  As for flowers, I personally would prefer a tropical bouquet that is full of color since you are in Hawaii.  White will tend to blend into everything and won't really be seen very well in photos.

I hope this helps.  Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me again.

Warm regards,
Wendy Wuitschick
