It will be a winter wedding. I want something not to inexpensive but not too expensive. I dont like puffy dresses, I do like the modern look type. Yes, real silk. Please help.
All comments will be helpful thanks!

I would go start trying things on. Go to a smaller, privately owned bridal shops (instead of larger chain stores), in my opinion the sales people are just more knowledgeable. Since you have a good idea of what you want, go in and explain it to them and they will be able to pull dresses that are what you have in mind. Almost all wedding dresses can be ordered in either ivory or champaign, even if the sample is white (I'm having an ivory dress too).
Lastly, don't be shy to try dresses on that a sales person might suggest. They have a great eye for body shape and what will look good on your and still be what you have in mind - it's worth the 5 minutes to try something on, even if it isn't exactly what you picture or doesn't look great on the hanger. One of the salespeople at a little family owned shop suggested I try on a mermaid style gown and I fell in love!
The dress she suggested wasn't "the one" but I did eventually find my dress, and it's mermaid style - something I never thought I would like or look good on me! My reception dress will also be a mermaid style!
Good Luck and have fun! It may take multiple shopping trips to find the right one :)
Addition:
I noticed another posted recommended Casa Blanca - yes all their dresses are made of real silk, but at every store I've tried them on at (I actually like a quite a few of their designs) they are always overpriced. I don't know why, maybe because they are a Canadian designer and made in Canada, but these dresses are always priced $500-900 more than they are really worth. And this is coming from my mother who used to design and make wedding gowns and owned a bridal store for 6 years.

champagne wedding dress SOS!?
Cj193
I am getting married in late April 2010. We are getting married in a historical inn and then having a served dinner at the same place. We only invited 50 guests and while it is not jeans casual it is suppose to be comfortable. I found a purchased the dress from Davids Bridal Style: F12639 in Champagne (bargain!) It is perfect for the wedding we are having! I am not a traditional bride and did not want a white or ivory dress with the traditional shape so I went the bridesmaid dress route. I am now looking at veils and shoes.
HELP!
Since I saved soooo much on my dress (Nice!) I can purchase the accessories I want. I need to figure out what color shoes, veil and bolero (or some sort of sleeved cover up). Keep in mind i am a plus size girl. I was thinking a maybe a dark purple strappy sandal for shoes? Too much? Any suggestions would be helpful as long as they are constructive! Thanks for your time! :)
Answer
You have MANY options!
I too have a Champagne coloured dress (wedding date = July 29th, 2010 on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon). I actually have two pairs of shoes. I have a pair of satin flats that I had dyed at the shoe place for $25. They are dyed the same colour as the dress. And, for the reception, I have a beautiful pair of high heeled red satin pumps from Supadance (model 1039) so that I can dance the night away in style!
I found it much easier to have accessories in a different colour My purse is red too!
