I 'm a fan of the white as well. My bridesmaids tried on the dress that your maid of honor is wearing ( also in red) but we went with a very similar one ( bill Levkoff 587 ) because I don't live near a DAvids Bridal and it was a hassle for shipping. I love the red and purple together though, I never would have thought, those were the two colors I was debating over and then went with red. My sister in law is getting married two months after us and she chose purple, If she didn't, I would have done the red/ purple now that I have seen them together! Let us know what you decide!!
