For some more `traditional` comparisons :
White
Ivory
And just for fun, a hint of pink
If its not too forward of me, I`d like to offer comments on those as though I were back in the day when I worked in a bridal shop :
The white - I think its too stark and loses the personality of the dress, it could be any bridal gown in white, no character to it, in white its `just another dress`.
The ivory - yes it retains some character but it flattens your personality, is too traditional and might make you feel it was everyone elses day and not your own.
Hint of pink - I know its not an option in the range available but I do think it emphasises that for you, a colour is where its at, it would let you express yourself and thats what would make you feel vibrant as a bride should on her special day.
Of all of them, from a long past professional view [ and unbiased which was always paramount ! ], my honest opinion would be for lilac - your colouring is absolutely perfect for it, you would draw the colour to the fore rather than a darker / stronger colour which would be all about the dress and not the wearer so much.
For bridesmaids I would then suggest a deep and rich, [ but not too bright ], purple with netting and / or toning touches to match your dress - not because I`m mad about purple but as a colourscheme suited for a lilac gown.
I think something like that would look exquisite.
But - my taste is`nt everyone elses of course and it was a long time ago that it was my job so if I`m way off the mark please just ignore me, its been a very long time since I did it
