| My dress is Diamond White and to be honest with you when I have the dress on, I personally think that it looks very white. However, when you put my dress next to a dress that is white, you can see a subtle difference. Like someone else had mentioned, the diamond white dress looks more matte than the white dress. My fiance is getting white shirts because with my dress in particular it looks white. When I tried veils on to match, the white one looked better than the diamond white veil so I guess it all depends on the dress and fabric.

I know Moore's has diamond white! Diamond white definately looks "off" next to white white so go for the off white grooms shirts.

Diamond white definately looks "off" next to white white so go for the off white grooms shirts.Really??? the Moores that I'm renting from (Vancouver, BC) gave me a choice of white or ivory...and I would have loved diamond white. Anyways, my dress is diamond white (by maggie) and we are going with bright white shirts. The ivory shirt at Moores looked really yellow to me.

I dont think it looks dirty, I think the diamond white is more of a matte finish compared to the reguar white dress that has more shine to it.
My dress looks totally white, its just a different shine to it.
For me, I just didnt wantthe shiny white wedding dress. I wanted a dress that wasnt too white and the diamond white I thought wasa little more subtle.
No, it's not about the shine or finish of the fabric, it's just the colour. Diamond White is a softer white than stark white. Think about when you go to a paint store and get paint chips for picking colours with. You get a strip with 4 shades of the same colour right?
Ok now think of stark white as the white primer paint that you put on walls before painting, and think of the diamond white as a nice creamy eggshell white paint. They'd probably be on the same paint chip as they're in the same colour "category" but are just slightly off from one another shade wise. Get it?
The slight pigment change between the two is really all the difference. They both look white in photos, like a PP said. The difference is just in the shade of the white. Stark white has no other colour pigment in it. Diamond White or Champagne may have a pinkish pigment to the white or a yellowish pigment to the white, etc. to take it just a shade off of stark white. IT's just more complimentary to a wider range of skin tones. Stark white can be hard on the eyes and can totally wash out someone with light skin.
I tried on a dress in light gold (like a champagne) and I loved it personally but that was a fair bit darker than a diamond white. It was definitely a light gold.
I tried on Diamond White dresses as well and I didn't think they looked dirty next to the stark white but it does look yellow-y if right next to it because it does have some yellowy pigment compared to the stark white and when you put them side by side you will see the difference.
I am sure if you go to a menswear/tux shop and tell the salesguy your dress is diamond white and you don't want the m en wearing stark white he will find something complimentary. Be sure to ask your bridal shop for a fabric colour swatch for your dress so you can match it in the tux shop more easily.
