If you’ve ever went into a wedding boutique or skimmed the pages of a magazine, then you know that there are all different shades of white for wedding dresses. Well, how do you know which shade of white will look best on you.
It’s all in your skin tone. Different skin tones match well together with different shades of white making your skin stand out. Here are some tips to make your life a little easier in picking out the right shade of white for your skin tones.
A very easy way to match the different shades of white is to take a shade that brings out your skin tones. For example, someone with very fair skin shouldn’t buy a dress that is pure and bright white. It will drain the look on that person and will not flatter their skin tones. Picking a shade of white is much easier for darker toned people because any of the shades of white will not drain their skin tone.
Here is a chart to easily help guide you in pin pointing the right wedding dress in your perfect shade of white. It important to know that a dress in a shade of whit closer to your natural look will make you fade away. Like, if you have yellow undertones an Ivory dress will not help you shine. Same with someone that has pink undertones, you don’t want to wear a champagne dress.
Shades of White Skin Tones
| Stark White – it’s a very bright and pure colored white | Dark and yellow undertones |
| Silk, Diamond, and Natural White – it is very close to a pure white but softer | Universal to every skin tone |
| Ivory – this is like an off-white shade that’s pearly, creamy, and like eggshells and candlelight | Dark and pink undertones |
| Champagne and Rum - this has a hint of pink but is still white | Dark and yellow undertones |
