to let my daughter wear this dress as a wedding guest?

[AlicePL]

Or does it look too much like a bridesmaid/flower girl dress?

This isn't the exact dress, but it's similar. I've read threads on here about parents dressing their young daughters as bridesmaids because they're offended that they weren't chosen, and it's occurred to me I'm not really sure what the difference between a child's party dress and a bridesmaid dress is! I'm guessing it's fine because it's blue rather than white, but I just wanted to make sure.

I didn’t know there were none until we arrived. The groom wasn’t British but his wife is. I wasn’t dressing dd up to be part of the wedding party, which is what your comment implied and from our behaviour, it would not have been possible to deduce we were, especially considering the bride was consulted. My point is that: 1) Keeping a child in a fancy clothes away from the b&g until after the photos and ceremony ie until the reception is enough. 2) It is ridiculous to pass judgment on a preschool child or her parents when the happy couple are fine with what she is wearing.

For the various posters saying 'ask the bride', how is the bride supposed to respond if she wants to say now without appearing like a bridezilla or crushing a child's dreams?

For goodness sake let her wear it. In my experience the window for your daughter wanting to wear pretty dresses is so small. Before you know it they won't be seen dead in a dress and all they want to wear is black ripped jeans and black t shirts and all you will have is the memory of those pretty dresses they used to wear. I speak from experience!

We really need to know how old your daughter is, it makes so much difference. Sorry if it’s been given and I’ve missed it.

Op, if that's what she'd wear to a wedding what on earth does she wear to go out to play in?

If she was say 8 and under and wore it to my wedding I'd think it was fine, but OTT for me but I can imagine a 7 year old would live it. If she was, say 12, I'd worry.

I have 2 daughters and they were at a couple of weddings at the age they still wore dresses. I wouldn't let them wear a dress like the op put up. In fact my eldest wore a cream dress not unlike the dress in the op's post as a flower girl when she was 5!
