Would this be ok for a wedding guest, or too bride-y bridesmaid-y?

I probably won't buy it, as if I have to check, it means I'll still stress about it not being ok 🥴... But still interested in people's thoughts. Suitable for a wedding guest? This dress

I think this is fine. Looks nothing like a wedding dress, and I can't really picture someone putting their bridesmaids in it. So I think you should go for it

It's lovely and not bridesmaidy IMHO

Lovely dress but too cream / white I think.

No.
Too pale, too bridesmaid-y too casual Bride-ish.

It's totally fine, and very nice.

Totally fine

Completely fine imo, especially if you wear coloured shoes, bag etc.

I can barely imagine a dress more suited to a wedding guest - it's perfect!

But brace yourself for the insufferable twats who will be along in a moment to point out its 100% polyester.

I think it’s too much white/cream - I’d always err on the side of caution though for something like this! Not worth risking the bride feeling annoyed or you just feeling awkward.

Too bridesmaidy for me.

I've never been to a wedding where the bride wore anything remotely like that. If you know the bride and think she'll likely be in a somewhat traditional dress then that dress will be absolutely lovely for a guest.

Too white/cream for a wedding

I also think it would be fine if the bride is wearing a traditional big dress. However, if the bride is going for a more bohemian/relaxed look you might look at bit similar.
It's one day that I wouldn't wear white.

I think if you wore it with coloured shoes/bag/wrap etc. it would be ok. I wouldn’t wear it accessorised with white/cream though.

It's actually pink isn't it? If that's your style then it's fine. It would be too casual for me to wear to a wedding. I'd wear that for a special summer day out/beer garden.

It’s lovely but I’m not sure either… looks a bit bride/bridesmaid from the back maybe?

It is perfect for a wedding guest. Only on MN do people worry about the whiteness of a dress.

If you have bright coloured accessories it will be absolutely fine, coloured jacket or wrap.

I can't see a bride wearing it or bridesmaids. With coloured accessories it takes it away from being "too white"

I think it's lovely. A nice bright scarf/jacket/shoes/bag and you're sorted xx

It's not about it not looking like a brides dress, it's the rule of not wearing white or cream. I wouldn't wear that to a wedding.

It’s the second time in 24 hours that I’ve seen this dress posted on MN - the first time was being recommended as an actual wedding dress.

Agree

Damn, why didn't you post this before I bought shoes I couldn't really afford.

It's gorgeous and I'd wear it for some weddings provided I could add colour with accessories.

Thanks all - the bride will possibly go for something a little relaxed/different so I won't risk it, but might try and wangle an invite to some lovely summer party so that I could buy it 😂

It will be fine but I don't like it
