Can I wear this to a wedding?

[WaroftheWorlds]

I hope the attachment works.

Yes, I know it breaks the rules, but the navy trim I am hoping kinda mitigates against the cream. I own the dress already. It is lovely on, not bridal. I would wear with a big navy fascinator, nude shoes and a navy handbag.

For context, wedding is a medium sized affair. Local church and then local social club for typical buffet/disco reception. Bride is in a big white dress. Very big skirt.

Is it a no?

Can you ask the bride?

I'd say you'll be fine but in MN land all brides care about shit like this?

No. Too much white.

It's a nice dress but I personally wouldn't .

I'd wear it. It in no way looks like a wedding dress. I assure you, you will not be confused for the bride.

I think it would be fine.

I wouldn’t; I just don’t think white or cream is right for a wedding guest

It's lovely, but I probably wouldn't.

I wouldn’t

I could ask the bride I suppose...

Sorry I wouldn't, save it for a christening or the races. No you wont be confused for the bride but if she wants to be the only one in white/ivory then it might annoy her. Choose another of the million colours available.

Yes of course.

Of course! It’s fab!!

Yes of course you can. It is not bridal in the slightest.

Yes definitely fine for a wedding, it's not remotely bridal.

Yes especially with accessories you mention

Of course you can especially with a navy fascinator and big. It’s pretty.

You could always double check with the bride. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Of course it does not look bridal or remotely like a wedding dress.

It is amazing that the rule of not wearing a dress that could be mistaken for a wedding gown is being interpreted in ridiculous ways to rule out anything with white or cream on it

Of course you can! It'll look lovely with the navy accessories.

I am unlikely to go to a christening - and wouldn't go to the Races, I bought this from a charity shop 6 months ago for a tenner, and am desperate to wear it 😁

I would...It will look lovely with the navy fascinator. It isn’t bridal looking at all. If you know the bride is wearing a big white dress, I don’t see the problem.

Well I would have up until this weekend!

As at a wedding when a guest wore the most beautiful summer dress. It was white, but covered in pink/lilac flowers and was in no way bridal. The comments I heard were pretty horrible. 'trying to draw attention to herself', 'who does she think she is' etc. Not from the.bride but from the bride's friends. It was pretty awful actually.

I wouldn't. It's not remotely bridal, however the main colour is.

That's awful @BenWillbondsPants!

Yes it's fine. Wasn't until I joined MN that I realised wearing white or cream to a wedding was a big MN faux pas. My dm wore an off white lacy number to my wedding, I didn't think anything of it!

I wouldn’t. As PP, whilst it’s not at all bridal, white is traditionally reserved for the bride and wearing it as a guest does seem to send a message of ‘look at me too!’.

It’s behaviour that seems to lack class / style. And there are so many lovely non-white dresses out there...

Lovely dress though.
