Choosing the Right White

Which shade will look best on you?

Not all whites are the same, as anyone whose ever picked out paint colors can attest to. Use these guidelines from Kleinfeld Bridal Co-Owner Mara Urshel to choose the right bridal gown shade for your skin tone.

Pink skin = Ivory gown (various shades)

Yellow skin = Diamond White gown

Olive skin = Diamond White or Ivory gown

Dark skin = Diamond White or Ivory gown
