I think I found "the dress" and I like it better in diamond white then regular white. My question is what are you doing about the guys shirts? If the groom and grooms men wear white it will make the diamond white dress look dirty.

My dress is diamond white as well. I think we are going with off white or cream/ivory coloured shirts. Definitely not stark white.

| Perfect explination I think! I even learned a couple of things Wedding Dress, Designer Gown Colors
Off white. Stark white. Bright white. And what the heck is eggshell? Choosing a shade of white for your wedding gown has become almost as difficult as choosing the gown itself. Here's everything you need to know to get the right white.
The Shades
Stark White
The brightest, crispest white you can find. Looks great on dark skin.
Silk, Diamond, or Natural White
A shade off of stark white, though it looks pretty much the same in photos. "Eighty percent of the population looks best in a soft, diamond-white dress, which isn't as chalky as a white-white," explains dress designer Melissa Sweet. "When in doubt, buy diamond white."
Ivory
Also referred to as "eggshell" or "candlelight." Some ivory dresses have yellow undertones, making them look creamy; some are just a "quiet" white.
Rum or Champagne
A white with pink undertones that looks nearly white in photos.
The Selection
The key to finding your shade? Knowing your skin tone.
If your skin is fair: you'll look best in yellow-ivories and warmer natural colors. You should probably steer clear of stark white, though -- it may wash you out.
If your skin is medium with pink undertones: opt for creamier colors.
If your skin is medium with yellow undertones: try diamond whites or champagne.
If your skin is dark: lucky you -- most shades of white will complement your skin. If you have yellow or olive undertones, though, stay away from yellow-ivory dresses. Try stark white or rum pink.
When trying on different dresses in a bridal salon, keep in mind that the samples may be dirty, so while the fabric is "white," it may appear a shade off from its actual color, and therefore will look more flattering than it really is against your skin. Be sure to ask for a clean fabric swatch to place near your face before making your final decision. I think we are just going with white tops for the guys. I dont think its going to make that big of a difference if we have white or ivory for the guys?? I hope this helps everyone.

| If I'm not mistaken, you can get Diamond White shirts at most tuxedo shops. I remember a salesman talking about that at a shop. I guess there is a difference when you put the white and diamond white next to eachother.

I noticed a big difference, the diamond white looked dirty beside the white dresses.

| 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 want the shiny white wedding dress. I wanted a dress that wasnt too white and the diamond white I thought was a little more subtle.
