Calling all pale/fair brides!

I am very fair (I call it porcelain, lol) with blonde hair and am afraid that an ivory or white dress will really wash me out more and make my veins in my chest and arms stand out. I've been thinking about a blush or Moscato wedding dress. Any pale brides out there wear white and it looked ok or had...

    I am very pale and I ended up purchasing a champagne color dress. It is vintage kind of dress with lace.

    I am pale with extremely PINK undertones. I assumed a true white dress would look terrible on me because my skin is so light, but I actually wound up liking white a lot. I haven't decided on fabric yet (my mom is sewing my dress), but surprisingly white is very much in the running.

    Very fair with a white dress here loved the look. Def not planning on tanning of any kind.

    I tried on one white dress. It looked awful. My dress was ivory and champagne.

    Thanks everyone! I have yellow undertones and get freckles during the summer. (I love my freckles) I was thinking if I get a blush dress I'll put my bridesmaids in cream. Love seeing everyone's pictures.

    I'm very pale and I didn't even try on any pure white dresses. Ivory all the way!

    My friend is the same way. Her dress is blush and actually makes her look a little bit tan.

    Ignore the straps, lol. They were being added. This was a couple weeks ago. No sunlight in months. And I am naturally quite pale. My dress is white.

    I didn't try on a true white dress. All of them were varying shades of ivory. The color that looked best was an ivory over blush but I'm thinking a deeper blush would look better on me with my darker hair and pale skin. I say try on varying dresses and make sure to take pictures so you can look at them later.

    I'm pretty pale with very cool undertones (very hard for me to find eyebrow products that don't look orange on me, haha), and blush looked best when I was trying on dresses.

    I am a pasty ginger and I ordered a dress color called vintage rose-it's a blush layer and an ivory layer and it looks great.
