Is this dress 'too light' to wear to a wedding?

I mean the colour. Is the colour too similar to ivory/white?

The shops are open today. Could you ring the stores that might have them in stock/do a click and collect service and get your OH to pick it up for you?

I hope you feel well enough to travel.

I think it's much nicer in oyster than in blue. For myself I would go for the version with sleeves, as my upper arms are not my strongest point! Warmer too, if you think it's going to be chilly, and you should look aftger yourself if you're a convalescent .

As for the colour, as I said upthread, I do think that you have to see fabric for real to be sure about the colour. Even if it is more cream than pink/beige, with accessories in another colour I don't think it will look like a bride's or bridesmaid's dress, especially as it's short.

Going against the grain but I really like the blue. I think the other colour is too bridal ish.

I don't see the problem with the Oyster. However, I prefer it in the blue.

I'm not keen on the sleeves version.

Great price by the way.

Ooh, I prefer the oyster (usually like blue).

What about with the sleeves, as it's less bridal and accessorise with dark or brights as suggested. You might have to see the colour in rl to know what colour would go best.

I think it does look less bridal with the sleeves. I like the one with the sleeves better. Its a pretty dress. Im not sure about the lightness. I dont go to that many weddings. If it were my wedding i wouldnt care what others have on. I also agree, with darker accessories i think you could get away with it.
