I always thought I would get married in white/ivory, but the other day I went and tried on some wedding dresses. I didn't know where to start so the nice lady in the shop picked a load out for me. I tried them all on and it turns out that because of my skin tone, the 'gold' colour dresses suit me the most. They are from the Ellis Bridal range and to be honest I would call it more champagne than gold, it's not like it's miles away from the traditional white and ivory colours. However, when I asked my fiancé what type of dress he liked, he said he didn't want me in anything other than white/ivory. He also described the style of dress I had originally been looking at until I fell in love with this one ( http://www.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=ellis+bridal+11224&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1366&bih=667 ) which is no where near what he described! Now, I know that the dress is my choice and everything, but I want to know if anybody chose a different type of dress to what their partners wanted and how they reacted to it? Do you think he will just be blown away by how pretty I look (hopefully!!!??) and not worry about the colour and style? Or do you think he'll be disappointed by me not taking his likes into consideration? I have the dream guy - he has SO much input on this wedding, a lot different to the majority of others by the sounds of it! And basically, I want to make the most of that and not disappoint!!! :-/

I have a feeling you're going to get a lot of the same answers to this one "It's all about you, the groom doesn't care..." but I have a groom who cares and has very particular taste. His input matters to me so we shopped together and he liked almost nothing. While I'm sure if I chose something he didn't like he would keep his mouth shut, I would be able to tell he doesn't love it and that would bother me. I actually have my dress now, bought it a few weeks ago, and I didn't fall in love with it in the store, but he did, and that was the selling point that won me over. I really liked it, it fit me like a glove and I looked lovely, the price was right, but it wasn't what I had imagined for me. But we bought it with the idea I would wear it if I fell in love with it, and if not, we would sell it. Well, I fell in love with it! But, it's still far from my wedding dress vision and I still want that dress, so i'm actually making two dresses which I will wear on the day as well. Our wedding day is 24 hours, I don't see why it can't include a few dress changes :P Ultimately, he gets his dress, I get my dress (x3) and everyone is happy.
I don't think you should completely forget your groom. I think you should want him to like the dress as well and not ignore his wishes. But, the decision does rest with you in the end. If champagne flatters your skin tone, do consider how your fiance feels about this, but in the end, go after what you want. But, I imagine what you want includes a combination of pleasing him and yourself, which I think is possible. The whole process might be easier if you shop together, actually. Get a better idea of what your groom wants and maybe if he sees champagne on you he might just change his mind!
Good luck
ETA: Oh-I forgot to look at your link! Lovely gown! If that's the colour you're after in the images, does really look more like ivory to me. Seems like a design that would be popular with a male audience too, not too frilly or anything, so hopefully your fiance likes it :)

Answer
You can have many different shades of light colors. There is light green with light lavender, light brown with light green, light lavender with light pink also looks nice, light brown w/ light pink, light red w/ light gray.
There are many reasons people might need color combinations (clothing, home colors, decorations etc.)...you can get help from color palettes (hgtv.com). I love to watch hgtv to figure the color combinations of dress colors, room decorations, and design..they have marvelous ideas. Also look at the color schemes:

White can also be part of the color combinations and can have a blend of colors with white..I have some beautiful dresses with white and 3/4 light color combinations and they all look beautiful!
