Weddings/Matching an Ivory Dress

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!

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
