Is this dress ok for a wedding?

[Magmatic80]

Reading another thread, and now in a worry. Going to a wedding shortly, and planning on wearing dress in similiar pattern to this. Knee length, high neckline, cap sleeves. Is it too white? Wedding in USA and will be hot if that makes a difference. I do have an alternative that is dark colours, but I feel ‘nicer’ in this one!

Unless it’s a linyhop style wedding and the bride has her heart set on a blue floral dress, I cannot see how the bride will be upset by the OP’s dress

I'm an American and I think the dress is lovely and perfectly appropriate for a wedding. The bride will appreciate the fact that you're skipping the fascinator.

I’m really strict about what I wear to weddings, but even I think that’s fine. The blue is dark enough and covers enough of the white that it’s barely white at all, especially with a navy shrug.

It's lovely and you feel good in it. Perfect. I'd definitely wear it.

I mean if you’re really worried though and will feel self conscious just wear something else. But I think it’s fine.

I wore a very similar dress to a wedding last month, no one batted an eyelid.

If you’re asking if I’d wear it though; no I wouldn’t. But I err on the side of caution. If it’s a bit borderline I wear something else. Depends on the wedding as well though. How well do you know everyone?

I have worn a cream trouser suit to a wedding, with a black shirt, hat and shoes. This breaks several Mumsnet wedding rules but all I got at the time were lovely compliments about my outfit.

Looking at my wedding photos, several of my close friends and relatives have ivory coloured dresses on, with floral patterns. Including my DM.

Obviously I should have banned them, the massive upstagers!

Or, you know, NOT.

It looks like a teacup. I’d choose something else.

Some of Mumsnet can be strange about any sort of white on a dress for a wedding. But that dress is amazing, you'll look so pretty.

it is a lovely dress, but I dont think its a proper dress for a wedding..
not "big ocassion" enough
(but its only my opinion) I would wear something more elegant

Lovely frock and perfectly suitable. My step DiL wore a black meringue on her wedding day so just about everyone looked more bridal than she did.

I'm American and go to lots of weddings. And I'm in the Deep South which tends to be more traditional about these things. That dress is fine for a wedding that is not black tie. No one in the US will think that a dress with a pattern on a white or cream background is anywhere close to dressing like the bride.

Beautiful dress, definitely wear it.

We’re getting married shortly and I couldn’t give a toss if my guests turned up in their own wedding dresses .

It is lovely and I think it is elegant.

People on MN have very weird views about what should or should not be worn to a wedding.
