Ivory: Soft and Romantic","slug":"2-ivory-soft-and-romantic","bodyCopy":"Ivory is the most popular choice for modern brides because it offers a soft, warm take on traditional white. While it still appears as a shade of white, ivory has subtle yellow or cream undertones that create a romantic, vintage-inspired feel. It’s more flattering on a wider range of skin tones than classic white, especially on fair and light skin.\n\n__Best for:__\n- Brides with fair to medium skin tones, as the warmer undertones in ivory bring out a natural glow.\n- Romantic or rustic weddings where softer, more natural hues are a perfect fit.\n\n__Pair it with:__\n- Ivory dresses complement gold and rose gold jewelry, which enhances the warmth of the fabric. Soft pastels in your floral arrangements or bridesmaid dresses will also complement an ivory gown beautifully."},{"__typename":"BlockElementSpacer24Px","title":"Spacer 24px","insertASpacer":true},{"__typename":"BlockElementFullscreenImage","blockTitle":"differentwhitesblog","slug":"differentwhitesblog","subheadline":null,"bodyCopy":null,"linkText":null,"linkUrl":null,"contentOrScreenWidth":"Content Width","bfBackgroundImage":null,"backgroundImage":{"title":"C740-V1053C-01-H-min","description":"","contentType":"image/jpeg","fileName":"C740-V1053C-01-H-min.jpg","size":3860710,"url":"https://images.ctfassets.net/y49u4slmhh3t/7fHwcAccotp94HIiwgvXAy/180ad3ea96a2618a4c82535482e5a9d1/C740-V1053C-01-H-min.jpg","width":15785,"height":9504}},{"__typename":"BlockElementSpacer24Px","title":"Spacer 24px","insertASpacer":true},{"__typename":"BlockElementCopyBlock","blockName":"3.
