I like silver better and I think it’ll coordinate well with your cream dress.

I’m with ocicats. Take a deep breath Platinum rings will be fine. What about pearl jewelry? That won’t clash with either silver/platinum or your dress. You could wear gold shoes if you like the idea, but don’t feel like you have to. Don’t forget that cream/ivory is a neutral colour. You could wear it with basically any colour shoe you want, although I would avoid a stark white.

I don’t think there’s any reason why you need to coordinate your jewelry or shoes with your bridesmaids. In fact many people just have their BM’s wear whatever jewelry and shoes they want with their dresses.

I also don’t think you need to coordinate your groomsmen’s shirts with your dress. If you can get ivory shirts for them, it would definitely look nice, but if you can’t I really wouldn’t stress over it too much, or the silver cufflinks. Everything will look great

i had originally settled on gold jewelry for everyone in the bridal party, however, it doesnt work out very well, i dont think. i had an ivory dress, and ivory shoes - i ended up wearing pearls and silvers and diamonds (fake). i think it “sparkles” more when you wear silver.

also for men, you see so little of their shirts anyway so they should probably wear white. i’m sure ivory wont matter either - but miss kiwi is right - it’ll be hard to match YOUR ivory.

good luck!

I agree with most of the other comments. A crisp white shirt goes with anything. Silver will probably go fine with your dress, and the bridesmaids don’t need to coordinate with you, especially on something like shoes. You’re shoes probably won’t be that visable, so making sure that their’s match shouldn’t be a concern. I agree that either silver or gold would probably look good, but you should compare things with your gown to see what works best. On a side note- I wore an ivory dress w/ champagne shoes and pearls.

My gown is also creamish/ivoryish (from J Crew if that helps), and I opted for pearly baby blue shoes (my something blue) and they look really beautiful in contrast! They draw attention to the details at the bottom and back of my gown. My jewelry is has silver around the pearls– it looks great all together. My FI is wearing bright, crisp white with silver cufflinks. Have fun with it and the ideas are endless!

you guys rock! i knew you guys could help uncloud my brain! i feel much better now =) i guess i’d been listening to too many peoples opinions…hehe…so it was throwing me off. and the whole white-shirt-being-crisper thing makes much more sense. graci!

oh and boys are wearing morning suits if that helps.

If you’re loving the metallic shoes they are showing this season, maybe try the champagne gold color (ambiguously gold/silver/beige) which is more subtle than the 14K Donald Trump yellow gold.

Agree 100% re white shirts for the men. Possible exception for red-headed groom if the wedding is in fall colors (golds, oranges, browns, ambers, burgandy, forest greens).

I have an ivory gown as well. I found a great pair of gold tone earrings, but they are more of a pale, matte gold not a normal brass shade of gold so i’ve been looking for a pair of pale gold/ champagne or ivory shoes. (my e-ring is white gold tho. haven’t gotten wedding rings yet. it’s more special if it’s meaningful to you, rather than worrying about matching small details.)

you could always go with colors. if the bm’s have teal dresses, maybe get teal shoes for u or for them. (depending on how u feel about it. some brides get blue shoes for their something blue or red shoes to go with their color scheme.) you could do the same thing with jewelry. or go neutral with pearls. but i think either silver or gold tones would work with ur dress and the teal bm dresses. and someone mentioned already, but the bm’s don’t have to match u or each other. many people just let the bm’s choose their accessories.

i had an ivory dress.

i wore light gold flats (they looked perfect with my dress)

my husband wore a black tux, ivory shirt, ivory vest and ivory tie

the groomsmen wore a black tux and an ivory shirt

reason the groomsmen wore an ivory shirt was because if they were standing next to my husband..we were scared that if they had a white shirt, it’d make my husband’s ivory shirt look dirty..so it was ivory shirts for everyone and honestly, you can’t really tell the difference between white and ivory when it comes down to it

What color are you accessories??? I would wear Ivory shoes with silver or rhinestone accessories. Not white. Even if the shoes are beautiful…they’ll look extremely tacky against your ivory dress or make your dress look dirty in comparison to the shoes.
