Help! Is it ok to wear this maxi dress to a wedding?

[misspoirot]

I have a wedding to go to in a few weeks and really love this dress www.janenorman.co.uk/fcp/product/buy-fashion-look-fabulous/New-Arrivals/orchid-maxi-dress/15952 I was going to wear a moss green shrug/bolero with it, but i'm worried that it might be inappropriate to wear, a bit bridesmaidy maybe? Just after a bit of advice, thanks!

It is really pretty, as long as you keep the shrug on, i would have thought that bare shoulder's was the perogative of the bride, but maybe i am being old fashioned?!

Yes it's beautiful

depends on where the wedding is - if it's a St Paul's Cathedral, then probably not..... (or any church I would suggest)
hotel? yes (agree with squidgeymummy about shrug)

Yes. May need to cover shoulders for service but its lovely.

Yes! It's lovely. Keep the shrug on fit the ceremony and meal but after that its totally fine to have shoulders exposed.

Generally don't like prints with a white background, but this is pretty.

I think it depends on the kind of wedding. And the kind of bride.

Strapless, long and white....(even with a print) might be pushing it a bit if she is not in superformal bridalwear, or if she's bridezilla-y

If you kept on a coloured shrug and had coloured shoes/bag. And Hair not "done" too bridally, then ok

Thanks everyone. They're getting married in a hotel. The bride is my good friend, she's not a bridezilla and would probably tell me it's lovely as she's so polite but i would hate for her to be secretly offended because as you say, it is a long, white-ish, strapless dress after all! Plus, i'd hate for the other guests to be thinking it was really inappropriate. Thanks for the advice about bare shoulders - i will keep covered up. I'll also keep my hair down
