Is this ok for a wedding?

[caerdydd12]

I've bought a dress from Vinted. I don't want to share the exact dress as the photo is of the dress being worn by the seller and that seems unfair so I've googled and found a very similar one. The one I've bought has slightly more sage green and fewer white spaces.

Is this ok to wear as a wedding guest do you think? Is there too much white? I'd have no concerns wearing it to a wedding of a family member etc because my family are very casual about this stuff but I only know the groom at this wedding so no idea what the general consensus would be from the other guests.

Opinions appreciated. If it's not acceptable I've got a couple of christenings I could wear it to later this year so it's not a loss.

Yeah I think it's absolutely fine. Really nice dress.

Thanks, I hope so. It's very very similar to the picture. I think reading so many of these threads has me very paranoid that anything remotely white isn't wedding appropriate.

No I wouldn’t.
So so so so many other colours you can wear.

I think it’s a gorgeous dress!

I wouldn't wear it for a wedding

It's nice

Very pretty. Really don’t understand the not wearing any white thing at all.

I think it has too much white in it for a wedding especially as you don’t know the bride or how she’ll react to it

It's lovely but I definitely wouldn't wear that to a wedding.

Especially in photography, you'll find the pattern will be lost, and it will look like you're wearing a pure white dress.

”React”? Really? Couldn’t tell you what anyone else wore to my wedding. Think my husband might have been in black tie?

It was all about ME 🤣

Lovely dress but I wouldn't wear it to a wedding

Can you crop the photo of the real dress so we can see the fabric but not the seller? If it's less white then it might be ok. Personally I wouldn't wear that one to a wedding, but it is lovely.

No.

It's fine. It's a nice dress.

I also wouldn’t wear it to a wedding, if in doubt, don’t!

Without looking at the pics i couldn't tell you what my guests wore.
But i do know they all looked lovely and they all had a lovely time.
So much obsession over things that are not important.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 but seriously it's a lovely dress and I'd wear it to a wedding

Really surprised at the “too much white” replies.
If it’s all to do with tradition, let’s face it, most brides are technically wearing dresses that are too white too.

Yes it's perfectly fine. To be honest though I don't understand this obsession on Mumsnet about what guests wear to weddings. It seems a very recent thing and I've never met a bride who would care.
But even if you are abiding by the Mumsnet rules that dress is obviously not bridal

I'd wear it but I'd probably choose non-bride type accessories so it was obvious I wasn't the one getting married. With the detail on it, I'd go for purple. Maybe boots or a hat or a belt in purple?

Wow, more replies than I anticipated!

This is why I'm worried, some people are absolutely fine with it and others are staunchly no.

Let me see if I can crop the original photo and just hope the seller doesn't track this thread down..

I wouldn’t. It just isn’t worth the risk of offending the bride, and I’d spend the day slightly worrying about it.

Hopefully this works..

It's a stunning dress OP I love it.

I'd definitely wear it to family or close friends Wedding but not sure about the wedding you're attending.

I'd wear it, but with a coloured bolero/shrug cardi type thing to pick up on one of the colours in it.
