Love for Ivory Wedding Dresses

We love ivory dresses and accessories, and so, too, do our brides. Approximately 98% of our dresses are displayed in various shades of ivory as opposed to a pure white. There are two types of white: poly white (which has almost a blue tinge to it - and maybe only 2% of women can pull off this unique hue), and silk white, however a much more flattering colour is ivory. It's more natural and therefore more people can wear it. It can be extremely complimentary to various skin tones and hair colours, and it's much less stark than a true shade of white.

Ivory is also luxurious-looking. It's one of the reasons why our dresses tend to look more expensive than they actually are - because of the rich, elegant colour. (Of course, high-quality fabrics help as well.)

Most of the dresses that we offer at Christianne Brunelle are available in both colours (white as well as ivory), giving brides the choice between the traditional white gown and the more modern ivory style. However, we can tell you: very few brides go with a very pure white once they see how flattering and stunning their dress looks in ivory.

Ivory accessories are also extremely popular, and we offer a vast selection of such items in this beautiful colour, giving our brides a completely lavish look from head to toe.
