Should bridesmaids wear ivory

i wouldn't advise it specially if they are older bridesmaids because you don't want them to either out do the bride or to blend in with her, where as you want the bride and bridesmaids to stand out in different ways. However, if the bridesmaid is a small child then ivory looks fine as long as you put a band or sash around the middle or have the same colour schemed accessories then it should look ok.
