Is this too white for a wedding guest?

After seeing discussion on this on another thread I'm worried this dress I've bought is now too 'white'- I thought the floral pattern made it ok, but maybe not... What do you think?

I think it’s lovely. Pink shoes and pink bag and it’ll fab. Definitely not too white

Too white, definitely not acceptable.

Don't do it, it's bridal.

Totally perfect for a wedding, especially with some colourful accessories! It’s gorgeous - I might get it for my son’s christening!

I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding.

Depends. With coloured (not ivory/cream) accessories it might be ok. Also if you take a jacket (or similar) if it's cold, don't make it a cream one.

Yes too white. Not for a guest at wedding.

Hmm. How are you accessorising it?

It is beautiful.
Pink accesories will bring out the pink rather than the white for the wedding.

I think it’s fine. As already suggested, accesorise it with pink - or green even - and it’ll look lovely.

I've never seen a bride in anything that resembles this style. Hobbs are promoting for wedding guest wear.

Perfect for a wedding with coloured hat/fascinator and bag and shoes

Not appropriate for a wedding - too white. All the people saying it would be fine don't really know how the bride would feel so best to err on the side of caution imo.

I think it's lovely for a wedding, not bridal at all.

It is too white and too bridal. It’s a lovely dress but don’t wear it as a wedding guest.

Absolutely no way. Don't rock the boat! Always. Stay. Away.

It's nice but there are just so many other dresses out there. If you choose that one someone will comment.

I was going for pale pink accessories- no jacket- maybe a hat too.
