Is this an acceptable wedding guest outfit?

[Bumbleebeetree]

Or is it too close to white? Thank

Absolutely fine. It’s got so much print that it doesn’t look like a white dress at all (not that I subscribe to the ‘no white at weddings’ thing; unless you are walking down the aisle in it nobody is going to mistake a guest for the bride).

It’s nothing like a wedding dress in style or colour.

I think it depends on the dress code, this seems really causal 😬

I'd say it was too casual, more like a garden party/bbq dress.

It's not about being "mistaken for the bride". I don't know why this is said every single time. It's just that white is the privilege of the bride,so it is courtesy to let her alone have that on her special day.

Erm, no it isn't.
Do you only go to terribly formal weddings with very strict dress codes?

It's fine, OP. Always wise check, though 👍

Yes. Good choice.

It really is - another poster has said the same thing. Sorry that I try to put a bit of effort when I go to special occasions 🙄

What a load of shit! Privilege of wearing white?!

You must both go to terribly formal weddings then. A dress like that would not have looked out of place at any wedding I have been to.

Are you confusing brides with the Pope?

No need. Really, no need.

I can’t remember the last time I saw a bride in white, now I come to think of it. Red, purple, plenty of ivory/cream, and I got married in leopard print, so I wonder if that ‘privilege’ is on the way out anyway 🤔

I do not know. This is a style thread, and specifically to garner opinions about the wedding guest choice, and the white issue. I think the OP is being very thoughtful about her choice of outfit, bearing in mind that it's still very common for the bride to wear white.
I haven't been to a wedding where the bride has worn other colours, and going by the windows of bridal shops etc, I would suggest it's still a dominant choice. So, it's wise of her to be reflective on this.
Edited to add, I would include ivory and cream as part of the "white" concerns.

@Bumbleebeetreeit may be that you’re not aware of the Style & Beauty board?

Ok. I thought this was about advice for weddings and style.
I'm off. No need for the rudeness.

Good call, @MuddlerInLaw . The responses will be more positive, as well.

Or maybe you’ve just been quite underdressed or the weddings you’ve been to have been terribly casual. Others have agreed it’s casual for a wedding - why do you think I’m the outlier?

Not underdressed, nor terribly casual, just fairly informal where the guests are made welcome and where there have been no unreasonable demands made of them.

I think its too casual too.

I do not think it is too casual for a wedding. It's entirely appropriate.

I think it's nice OP , not too white and not too casual, assuming you wouldn't style it with a canvas tote and flip flops like the model. Much better than some of the coast chiffon specials so often recommended! It looks light and cool too

It is very casual as already mentioned and more suited as an every day dress.

That might be what you think but it’s not what I think. I think what you said is nonsense. And you think that what other people have said is nonsense.
