Is this dress ok for a wedding...

[Jadefeather7]

Or is it too close to white?

Even in the blue, you'd probably blend in with one of the Mother of the bride/groom.

You just don't wear lace to a wedding.

Way too close to white, and the lace is too bridal. I have been to weddings where the bride had worn a similar short lace wedding dress. Please don't wear this to a wedding!

Well OP if the bride's name begins with an L and the wedding is in September then go ahead and wear it!

You absolutely can't wear that dress to a wedding.

Have you not seen the McDonalds wedding advert?!

On the basis that IRL it doesn't actually look like it's been in the wash with some black socks, I would definitely give it a swerve for a wedding.

Lovely design though, I admire your taste if not your tact

I think it's lovely. Personally it looks nothing like a wedding dress!

It's a no from me. I'm sure the navy would look lovely with the accessories you describe.

No you just can't

Ok so even coloured lace dresses aren’t allowed?

Sorry I’m actually Asian and I’ve only ever been to two or three English weddings and the last one was 8 years ago so can’t remember how everyone was dressed. I remember reading that white isn’t allowed and long dresses are not allowed. Didn’t realise lace is also not allowed!

Didn’t realise lace is also not allowed!

Of course it's allowed. People are just really odd about wedding 'rules'.

It’s totally fine.
Blimey. Some people do get their nickers in a twist over the littlest things

Lace is fine, but not white/cream/off-white lace. Many wedding dresses are lace so is too close. Also if your shoes and bag are matching off-white lace too then that is even more of a no.

Just avoid anything in those colours, and black (too funeral-like for a wedding) and you will be fine.

Who the heck told you long dresses aren’t allowed??

Is red ok or too bold?

I like the red one as well yes!

Of all the dresses out there to choose from. Give the Bride her day.
Just no. I do sometimes think these posts are a wind up.

I'm obviously too old but that doesn't look in any way bridal to me! I wouldn't bat an eye at a guest wearing it at my or any other wedding! What colour shawl were you wearing with it?

The red one is nice though although if its suddenly warm, the long sleeves may be too hot.

I get married in a few weeks and would have no problem with you wearing that dress, but perhaps that is because I am not wearing a traditional wedding dress. What is your relationship with the bride like? Could you message her direct and ask if it would be okay or if you need to keep looking?

I really like the red one!

The red one is gorgeous.

I love them all, but think go for the red. It's stunning and would look fabulous on someone with with a darker skin tone.

Haha is this a joke? You could not get a more bridal looking dress if you tried! You may as well go the whole hog and top it off with a veil ffs.

I like both dresses OP. The first one isn't bridal whatsoever

The day someone turns up in a blush lace dress and somehow manages to upstage the bride, pigs will fly

That is very similar to my wedding dress in design. Not every bride wears a big white dress, so I wouldn't wear it, sorry. Aside from anything else I have seen people approach guests wearing white to a wedding to have a go.
