Is this too white to wear to a wedding?

So I bought this dress to wear to a wedding, just tried it on, it's amazing and I'm in love. And then it suddenly struck me that it's white? White with yellow and green flowers on - is that ok? Or is it too white?

I do have another dress I can wear but it has black in it and I was hoping to wear something more summery. Definitely do not want to wear anything controversial though!

Yes a bit too white but also not really smart enough for a wedding.

Kfjsjdbd · 10/06/2022 20:27

Yes too white

CakeWedge · 10/06/2022 20:28

Def too white

Jovanka · 10/06/2022 20:28

I think it’s ok - not too white & definitely not bridal

ChristmasAtHogwarts · 10/06/2022 20:28

It’s a bit too white but also looks like the sort of dress you could wear for a shopping trip so maybe not formal enough?

astoundedgoat · 10/06/2022 20:28

Too white and not dressy enough. And charge your phone!! :)

It's lovely!!!
You could wear a pink hat and scarve to add colour but I think it's perfect x

Too white and too informal.

Vapeyvapevape · 10/06/2022 20:29

How we'll do you know the bride ? Is she the type that would be upset with someone wearing a white /whiteish dress?

worraliberty · 10/06/2022 20:29

It really doesn't fit the model well so it's difficult to imagine what it might look like OP, but I agree it's not formal enough.

Womanonthemoon · 10/06/2022 20:30

From that picture it looks too white and also quite like a nightie

rainyskylight · 10/06/2022 20:31

I wore an extremely similar dress (which fitted a lot better) as the evening party dress at my wedding.

SunflowerGardens · 10/06/2022 20:31

Shit, looks like it's going back! It is a bit casual but we are only going to the evening bit. I think I'll be paranoid about it though. I quite liked the granny's nightie vibe Blush

Sorry OP but I also think it's not dressy enough for a wedding and it does remind me of a nightie 🙈

Yup it's white .....it's a white dress !!,

ReneBumsWombats · 10/06/2022 20:34

Yes, too white.

calmlakes · 10/06/2022 20:34

It looks far too much like your granny's nightie to wear to an evening wedding do.
It is also probably too white.

StooOrangeyForCrows · 10/06/2022 20:35

Too white and not dressy/formal enough

It’s too white but it’s nice, keep it for the summer if you can afford too. And yes, charge your phone!
