To wear this to a wedding?

[Feelingss]

It's beautiful but is it too white?!

If I had your figure I'd wear it.

I think it's lovely, I just would pair it with colourful dressy heels and a colourful clutch and accessories.

I think the second is a bit less casual and more weddingy. Sorry. The first is fine if you accessorise it well, maybe?

I think it's okay to wear to a wedding, I don't think it's too white. I'd recommend not having any white accessories, go for bright shoes, bag and jacket.

it's fine, no one will confuse with the bride

I don't think it'll ever be mistaken for a bridal dress - which is why I wouldn't wear it. It looks like a dress for the beach.

That's because this is mumsnet where the following are apparently unsuitable to wear to weddings

-anything remotely white/cream/ivory
-anything black
-anything red
-anything green
-anything short
-anything showing any skin
-anything tight
-anything too casual
-anything too showy

I’ve never understood this obsession with not wearing white.

I’ve been married twice and can honestly say I don’t know/didn’t care what any of my guests wore.

Maybe I’ve only been to common weddings because most of the guests generally know who the bride is without seeing her white wedding dress.

And to answer your question: love both the dresses and I’m sure you’ll look gorgeous.

It's something to wear at a relaxed tea party rather than a wedding- unless the wedding is informal.

It's very pretty and not in any way bridal.

Go for it

The second dress is perfect!

I saw something recently that said the only splash of white on photos should be the bride, and I personally think that’s a good mantra to dress by to weddings, the first dress IS way too white.

Ooooohhhh I wish I had some money I'd buy that it's beautiful. My cousin has specified no white to her wedding but surely something like this doesn't count? It's not like its upstaging the bride? When I got married I couldn't care less what people wore and if someone wore this dress I wouldn't of batted an eye. (Off to find £39 down the back of sofa for new dress purchase)

The only problem with white is the potential for being confused with the bride. No chance of that with this floral number.

Regardless of the colour, I wouldn't wear it to a wedding unless its really informal as it's more of a summer beach dress

@AnnieKayTee if you like it, get it and wear it. Your cousin shouldn’t be sending out edicts like that. Dress codes should say casual, smart casual, morning suits, black tie or white tie, unless there is a fancy dress them. Banning a colour is moronic Bridezilla behaviour. A summer floral printed dress with a white or ivory background is just fine. No chance of anyone thinking you are the bride.

I could not have cared less about what guests wore to my wedding as long as they were having a nice time.

Good advice if that poster wants to fall out with her cousin on her wedding day and look like the arsehole🙄

It's generally socially accepted that it's best to avoid white for weddings, so it's not absurdly bridezilla-ish.

This place is bonkers 😂 ever heard of different shapes? It falls just above the knee for me which is fine, as I’m short and petite and anything below that I start looking completely swamped!

I'd have complimented a guest if they wore that to my wedding as I think it's beautiful. But it all depends on the bride and the wedding vibe. I think some modern weddings tend to be a bit less formal, if it's a formal wedding it would have said on the invite. So as long as it didn't stipulate a dress code I think this is lovely

Your backup dress is soooooo much more appropriate- it’s quite elegant whereas the first one just looked messy.

It's absolutely fine.

Beautiful dress but I think too casual too.

It looks cheap.

I mean I would be fine if it was my wedding I don’t really care about things like that but I would probably avoid myself if I was to attend a wedding it is very white
