When we hear bride and wedding in the same sentence, there is only one color that automatically comes to mind: white. But when it comes to dresses and the vast universe of textiles, not all whites are white. There are different variations, some more subtle than others, and there are certainly some shades of white that work better with certain skin tones than others.
