To wear this to a wedding?

[Justrealised]

Is there too much white in this dress for a wedding guest? Just looking for views, wedding is next month.

Absolutely fine. As others have said it is nothing like a wedding or bridesmaid dress. I don't even see it as white. It is predominantly blue and pink

Your friend is nuts!!! That dress is fine, no danger of being mistaken for the bride

I think people have lost the plot over "no white to weddings".

The whole point is not to wear anything "bridal" (in any colour).

I'm so glad someone else thinks this! It's getting a bit daft now.

The idea is to avoid getting mistaken for the bride. To avoid looking as if you're actively trying to upstage her. You'd have to be really going at it with the grooming and the white and the accessories for that to actually happen these days.

I was at two weddings recently, and at both weddings the mother of the bride wore white. Is this acceptable I didn't think it was but maybe times have changed.

I’d they were both in white then they’d probably been told it was ok, or asked to do so for a matching photograph.

Sorry, I misunderstood and thought you meant MOB and MOG.

I think it’s fine. Usually on these threads I think the dresses are too white (not because I think there is actually a problem with wearing white, but because I think it will invariably cause at least some raised eyebrows and there are endless other colours to choose from), but in this instance it’s barely white and the other colours are so bright. I don’t think it would cause an issue.

I wore a white jacket over a turquoise and white dress for a wedding in the 80s. Was I committing an awful faux pas?

I've seen other threads like this... what's with this obsession about no white on any dress even if it's patterned, ou can't wear it to a wedding. It's ridiculous!

Course it's fine OP!

Unless you wear a long white dress, you can wear anything, even a white hat if you want.

People are so precious about this sort of thing nowadays, it's ridiculous

16:21CounsellorTroi - it's a bit late to worry now. I don't think anyone would bat an eye in the 80's - it was just don't wear a white dress or all white then. I didn't think that had changed to be honest - I find it ridiculous that OP's friend has made her doubt this obviously suitable dress
