#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I think that dress is gorgeous. If you like it, then wear it. Just some caution, if you do decide to go with the ivory, don't buy it unless you've tried it on!! I know in some of my bored time I like to look at wedding dresses and I saw this gorgeous one that was a sand colour like yours, and then looked at the white one, and it didn't even look like the same dress!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well, Lix, I think that since your colour scheme is earth-tones, this dress would probably fit in better with that theme than an ivory one would.  I honestly don't think, on your wedding day, that your fiance is going to see you walking down the aisle and say "omigosh, look at the colour of her DRESS!!" LOL!!  He's just going to see your face, most likely.  And as far as everyone else, who CARES what they think??  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#If the sand colour goes with your colouring and isn't going to stand out in a garish (sp?) way, and you LIKE the colour, then I say Go For IT!!  It's YOUR day and you should do it the way YOU want.  I think that things are becoming less traditional nowadays anyway.  White/ivory dresses are traditionally for virgins, and since you've been living with your fiance for awhile now, I think it would be perfectly fine to go with a sand-coloured dress.  It's not like it's black or fire-engine RED or anything #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//grin.gif"#ed_cl#  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#It's a very nice, neutral colour, and I'll bet it'll look AMAZING with the other colours you've chosen to use.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I could not have said it better myself! Lix, I think we have the same style because I LOVE that dress, and yes I LOVE the sand colour, it will look so BEAUTIFUL with the colours you have chosen. I love those colours also, I'm sure you wont regret your decision.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Congrats!!  Great decision.  I hope that we will get to see a picture of you in it.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Lix - Sorry I didn't respond earlier! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Just wanted to add that the "sand" dress is beautiful and I think it will look gorgeous on you! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I also think it will look much nicer with the brown shoes and jewellery, I think if the dress were ivory, the brown jewellery and shoes would look too 'harsh'...  VERY nice choice! It's beautiful! Your going to look perfect on your big day!! #ed_op#IMG src="http://www.forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley20.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
