Can I wear this to a wedding?

[Pedalpushers]

Just that really. Going to a wedding in 2 weeks and need a new dress.

I seem to be drawn to floral on white and am wondering if I can get away with it or if it's still a faux pas?

Shirred - that’s the word I was looking for.

I would choose something else.
I know people won't mistake OP for the bride but I still wouldn't choose to wear a white floral dress. Nor a black dress OP!

As people have said, no one will mistake it as a wedding dress on the day, but it will show up very clearly in the wedding photos as you wearing white in a dark/coloured sea of people avoiding it around the Bride.

I noticed this jumping out in my own wedding photos of someone who wore a thigh length white dress covered in flowers (it must be how photographers process photos to make the bride's white extra 'POP' out?) So I personally would never ever chance it at someone else's wedding.

That is beautiful and perfect for a wedding.

It’s fine, with coloured shoes and accessories rather than cream, it’ll look great,

It's lovely, wear it.

Of course it's fine, it's a perfectly nice summer dress. It's bizarre how obsessed people on here are with what clothing to wear. It's nothing like a white bridal dress.

Nothing like a wedding dress so you're fine there.

Question though. Is it reeeeeallly low cut or reeeeeaallly short? I can't tell from the pic which. Either might make it not very nice on.

It's absolutely fine.

I wouldn't be remotely offended if I were the bride - it's not even white really, more cream

I do personally think it's a too casual for a wedding so I wouldn't wear it for that reason. Only you know the level of formality others will dress for though so you're better placed to make that judgement call.

It’s fine although I’d like to see it on the model… I can’t tell how short it is… it seems to be bum skimming.

It’s perfectly fine colour-wise! And lovely. I don’t understand the issue some people have on here about wedding clothes! Wear what you like!

It looks very short, low cut and tight - are you petite? With coloured shoes and handbag I think the pretty pattern is fine for a summer wedding, but I’d be concerned about if it’s the right dress shape for you.

Of all of the colours you could choose from, no I wouldn’t choose something that is predominantly white to wear to a wedding.

Even in another colour I’m not fussed on that for a wedding, the ruched (is that what it’s called) bottom half makes it look cheap.

MIAOW!!!

@Pedalpushers

I don't think the bride would really care, I'm more concerned about being judged by other guests or her family

I usually think if you have to ask, you already know the answer...

If you are worried then don't wear it.

Honestly we have this exact same thread every week!

It's hot so you won't wear a jacket to cover it up will you?

I wouldn't care if I was the bride.

But you don't know me. So it's not really relevant. 🤷🏻‍♀️.

I think the colour and pattern are fine to wear to a wedding, however just from your asking this question would suggest once you’re at the wedding you may feel self conscious about it being too white (if that was indeed your concern?). So perhaps avoid.

No

I am genuinely perplexed by some of the responses on here.

It is perfectly suited to a wedding. If you can't wear that, what can you wear? MN is so odd sometimes.

It's lovely OP. Perfectly suitable.
For my body I would worry about the low cut, my breasts would be out knocking glasses over on the table.
I would need to wear something under that- but depends on your physique.

Pretty dress. Very pretty.

Not sure why you need the approval of random strangers in the internet.

1950's brigade out again!

I think it's a lovely dress to wear at a wedding, it is unlikely you'll be mistaken for the bride if you wear that! Anyway, I thought it was only plain white that was a Mumsnet no-no for a wedding guest, I didn't realize it was any patterned dress which had a white background.

Not wedding appropriate, on a couple of fronts. Not very formal looking, too short and too low cut, too right—gives a party vibe not a serious vibe. either structured or flowing says summer wedding. Also the colour is just too borderline to be worth it. I think yiu would feel self conscious in that, pulling it up/down and needing to cover it will accessories of a different colour.

I didn't see the sheering, which would make it more figure hugging than I would like, but if you can carry it off, then why not. It would really depend how it looks on you op.

It's nothing like something a bride would wear though, so definitely wouldn't worry on those grounds.

Wear it or not, it's up to you.

Nobody's going to think you're the bride or her attendants or the bride's or groom's mother.

So nobody will bother.

If, though, you think:

I usually think if you have to ask, you already know the answer

then wear something different.
