Ivory vs cream?

With colours I would say cream was darker than ivory. Ivory is an off white, and cream is more yellow.

I may be the wrong person to answer (I don't care if nothing matches on the day as long as it doesn't obviously clash lol, if I like it I'll pick it), but I doubt anyone will notice white decorations and an ivory dress, they;ll just think how beautiful you look and how pretty everything else looks ?

My ivory dress definitely looked yellow against anything white, if that helps!

So go more cream with decorations then do you think? Honestly a bit confused!!

I know it seems like a big deal, but honestly, nobody will notice. None of your guests are gonna pick up your table plan and come and hold it against your dress and tut. Or if they are likely to do so, well, they're weirdos and you shouldn't invite them

So do you like the invitations the way they look now?

If yes, what's the problem? Your invites don't match the dress - Nobody is going to notice!!!

Have you ever been to a wedding and checked if they match? Clearly I'm too busy stuffing myself and getting plastered to notice these things.

Even if the name cards are cream and everything else is off white (or ivory if you want to call it that) NOBODY is going to notice.

You wont have time to notice this on the day as you'll be busy enjoying yourself.

So I bought table names and name plaques etc from a shop (in ivory) then ordered the menu for the table (ivory) from the same company that printed the initiations and although I hadn't really thought (or noticed before) the menu looks yellow compare to the name cards. But you know what, I like both, so I'm keeping them. I've decided there is going to be so much going on with the tables no-one is going to notice the menu is more yellow.

I must admit the menus are a much better quality paper/card - so maybe that's why?

Unless someone holds a bit of your dress up against the invitations then no one will even notice. If someone does notice are they really going to care? Part of my colour scheme is blue but not all the different shades I have match, I don't really like things too 'matchy'.

Yeah, I know it's not a big deal in the scheme of things. They're just a bit different than I expected!

I definitely prefer coral and white as a colour scheme so am just going to go with that and hope it looks okay in photos with an ivory dress!!

I should have said coral and white, as opposed to coral and cream, if that makes sense!

Your coral now looks pink because the coral ink is printed on cream/yellow paper and that base colour is showing through.

Over 100s of weddings I must of seen 100s of descriptions for colours and as for ivory, cream off white, antique white, magnolia.pale chamois,oyster.champagne, and they are all interchangeable in that you could get away with calling each, one of the other names.

So it dosent matter what colour people call an item, you just have to judge it for yourself, and you find it very difficult to get a full match of exact colours in everything.
