To wear this to a wedding?

[hwfg]

We are having a bit of a chat about this dress. Is it appropriate to wear to your sister’s wedding? Not me looking to wear it. My friend is the bride and has been sent this as a potential option from a family member

I wouldn't

I think that’s lovely, will look really nice on at a wedding. Wear what you like, it’s 2025 ffs. However, you will now get a pile-on of people saying it’s too white.. Maybe ask the bride for her view if worried.

It’s not really wedding appropriate.

I think if this was my only option if wear very bright accessories to make it less white amd also cover my shoulders with a wrap.

I don't think I'd mind if someone wore it to my wedding but I wouldn't wear it as a guest myself

It wouldn’t suit me so I wouldn’t wear it, but wouldn’t bat an eye if someone else did.

Depends what the bride is going to wear. If the bride will be in full traditional white dress with a veil etc, then maybe that dress might be OK for a guest ( though presumably will need to cover up if it's in a church). Otherwise, no.

It's a lovely dress but I wouldn't wear something that's both primarily white and is also long and strapless with a full skirt to a wedding. They might get away with it if they wore it with a yellow jacket but I still wouldn't.

That said, if I was the one getting married I wouldn't actually care if someone rocked up in this!

Unless it's extremely similar to either the bride's dress or the bridesmaids' dresses, why not? It's not white, ivory or cream, it's quite clearly patterned. I'd say go for it.

I'm surprised at these comments, I think it's totally appropriate. It needs a wrap or jacket though. I'd go for a strong green for jacket/wrap and shoes.

I think it looks fine! Will there be any bridesmaids?

There will be 2! Wearing burgundy 🤗

Too white and too strapless, I think. Nice dress but not something I would wear to a wedding.

I don't see the issue it looks nothing like a wedding dress and I would say it's more yellow then white

We were just concerned about how it would photograph. I know yellow can sometimes come up quite pale

No. Absolutely not ok.

My go to response to questions like this is, if you need to ask don't wear it.

I think it would be fine with a brightly coloured jacket or shawl (might need it for the weather unless you’re very lucky) and a big hat.

This is why I wouldn’t because at first glance it looked cream in the pic. Does the bride not want her family member to wear it?

Honestly depends on the Bride. Some of the recently weddings I have been at the the Bride would not care and others would.

I would worry about how the dress would photography but a lot depends on what is wore with it.

I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding. Clearly it’s not a wedding dress but it’s pale/white and a similar shape. Plenty of people wouldn’t care, but many would and I think if you have to ask it’s best to avoid the potential drama whether it’s justified or not.

I think it's fine. But then again I don't understand the obsession with what guests wear.

It’s a very tricky situation. The bride is my best friend so I’m obviously bias but without going too much, the family member wearing this dress just feels like the cherry on top. But it’s also one of those ones, we can’t tell if it’s appropriate or not ourselves haha. It’s very 50/50

I always go by if you have to ask it’s a no🤷🏼‍♀️

Well if the bride is "approving" outfits then I doubt this would be ok...

It's fine though. Beautiful dress. And not every church requires you cover up your shoulders 🤣

No, I think if you have to ask you know the answer.
