I don't want the color to be in the flowers but on me.
Blush pink dress
or
color earings and necklace with white chiffon dress and white flowers?

Small casual morning wedding. I have light ash blonde hair, blue grey eyes and very pale white skin with pink tones (summer). I want some color on me so I don't look like a ghost.

I don't want a tan as I want to look like me.

Since it is your wedding and you are considering the white chiffon, I'd go with that. I think years from now when you look back you'll be happier with the more traditional color. Like the other poster, you could consider a more off-white color to enhance your natural coloring. Either way, I'd be sure to have some white/off-white in the earrings & necklace. But don't forget about the bling of other colors as well!
A definate with the white flowers (several of the white flowers are a more off-white color as well).
Good luck & congratulations!

I would do the coloured earrings, but would be careful about the necklace.
Just because you are fair doesn't mean that you have to add colour. Fair skinned beauties in ivory or a cool toned white are amazingly beautiful. Think Grace Kelly, Princess Di, Nicole Kidman.
And you can apply a few layers of self tanner and still look like you. It will actually make you appear better in photos and you won't really be able to tell that you are wearing it. If done right, it will give you a glow rather than a massive orange tan. Be careful about using one with a bronzer. You won't want to use it 2-3 days before the wedding as the tint could get on the dress. The few days before, use only a non-tinted one and you'll be fine. : )

Congratulations on your wedding! :)
I think the white dresses with the accents of color are just gorgeous and a lovely way to incorporate some beautiful color into your dress.

They both have some very beautiful (and surprisingly affordable) gowns with color incorporated into them. You can either match the bridesmaids colors OR you can go with a nice blush pink or champagne color.
I am thinking a blush pink dress may actually make you appear even lighter than you are. It may appear too washed out on your skin tone. But try them on to get an idea. Good luck!

Instead of a stark white dress go with an off white color, or there are gowns that are white with color embroidery on them with flowers, patterns and such. Red or Purple are good colors on a dress like that. With your skin tone being pale, an off white or ivory might be the way to go, you don't want to look like you have a pink/red tone to your skin in the blush pink dress.

I got married on June 10th and honestly couldn't picture myself in a white dress either, I'm not that pale I just didn't want all white. I ended up getting my dress at David's Bridal and it was accented with an apple red color. I absolutely loved it and it made coordinating my wedding party a lot more fun! I know they have some other color options through David's as well and were also able to coordinate the veil with the red too. You can see pics of what we did on my 360 page, I strongly reccomend incorporating color into the dress itself, it makes it more unique to your own style and what you want!
Congrats and good luck with your wedding planning!

You could always start with a white wedding dress and then change into another dress - full of color - once the reception gets under way.

I have also seen some where the bride has almost like a belt or sash of color that ties in the back. I think it would also look great if you added some color to the flowers, too. I know you said you wanted it on you... but I think both would work great.

I don't think you should wear pale colours, as they only look really good on dark people, they will only make you look paler and wishy washy. Have you thought about a long, straight, fitted dress in emerald green with an elegant bouquet of pure white flowers, silver earrings and a silver crucifix and a delicate diamante tiara. Good luck, I really think this look would be amazing on your colouring.

I vote for the colored earrings & necklace with the white dress.
