Great dress. I'm thinking you should learn a choreographed dance routine to add to the fun...

Are you arriving by taxi? If you are going alone maybe you can share with some other single friends? If you all chip in you can probably get something quite nice. It would be fun if you could co-ordinate outfits, but without being too matchy matchy. Pastels for them?

I think it’s fine. Enjoy the wedding Grin

@LtDansleg

If you wear that to a wedding even the cake will be in tiers

As it's your EXs wedding maybe a black veil and make deep heavy sobbing sounds into a blue lace hanky.

ThorsLeftNut · 25/07/2021 22:11

I would be absolutely mortified if you turned up in that…
It’s far too long.
Cut it above the knee and just below the ass cheek.

UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa · 25/07/2021 22:11

It's beautiful but a bit understated. If the weather's not too hot, would it be possible to wear two veils?

Laiste · 25/07/2021 22:13

Travel there in a horse and cart.
Lower emissions and everything.

@CatOfTheLand

Or if you're set on wearing white with a red colour pop, this is nice:
I see that you're trying to help, but isn't that an outfit that pretty much every woman has in her closet? OP needs something special for her big day as a wedding guest.
Iamthewombat · 25/07/2021 22:16

Pumpkin-style coach, like when Jordan married Peter Andre. As above, low emissions.

I think it's perfect although @londonmummy1966 may have a point.

When you make a speech I think it will probably be important to make it from the bride's POV. Give advice on the first night nuptials - based on your lived experience. Share the key points in the decline of your relationship so that she can benefit from your advice and learn. It all sounds adorable and sooooo modern :)

You can get the EXACT ONE. No prices shown, but it will cost about the same as an Uber. Probably.

PERFECT. Arrive last obvs. You don't want to cause trouble in the car park.

@Futureself

Lady. You must know you cannot wear white to a wedding. You would offend everyone. I have attached a much more suitable dress.
@Futureself Hand on heart, I really like that dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where did you find it?
HalzTangz · 25/07/2021 22:30

@Mischance

Definitely inappropriate as a guest. I would be seriously peed off if I was the bride. Get yourself something different; you cannot go as a pretend bride for goodness sake.
I think the OP is joking
shouldistop · 25/07/2021 22:32

Perfect.

Someone did actually wear a full length cream dress to my wedding and she had a flower headband Grin

Finknottlesnewt · 25/07/2021 22:35

I honestly think it needs a tiara ... you don't want to be THAT guest who forgets an essential hairpiece (unless it's v casual obvs )

Lalliella · 25/07/2021 22:35

This one is nice.

@Lalliella

This one is nice.
Yes !!! Perfect t headpiece. Very understated and won't detract from the bride.. good call !
Whirlywooo · 25/07/2021 22:41

Are you serious - red shoes? What are you thinking? You must wear HOT PINK shoes with that dress, any other colour will just look silly. Maybe team them with a plastic horseshoe on a ribbon bracelet?

ResIpsaLoquiturInterAlia · 25/07/2021 22:43

Congratulations excellent choice for your big life changing day. I am sure your other half would be delighted.

Do you have a bedazzle kit?

I think it's fine. All my friends wore the same to my wedding and I didn't even notice Smile My MIL wore a beautiful floor length black gown with a lace fascinator, was beautiful.
