Can I wear a cream lace top to a wedding?

Or will the bride hate me?

I've just ordered a lovely rust coloured skirt for a September wedding and I think i need a cream top to go with it.
I've seen one I really like but I'm worried it could be similar to the top half of a wedding dress.
I have no idea what the bride is actually going to wear, she's said herself it's all very informal, so I might have nothing to worry about but is it just a big no no?
I don't know what other colour would go well with it. The skirt is plain so I could look for something with a pattern on.

Ooh Lonicera...I have no idea!

I'm also now contemplating a cream bodysuit but with something floaty, in a different colour, over the top. With sleeves of some sort. Maybe a short kimono type top.

Or I do still have my wedding dress hanging about somewhere

The last thing I want to do is upset the bride that's why I thought I'd get some opinions. I might even hate the skirt when it's here and need to start from scratch.
I definitely think the river island top could be a contender if the colours are complimentary though.

No.

Dont do the cream..youre sat down for so long at weddings and so people will see a lacy bridal type top..esp if theres a little bit of an atmosphere between the two of you it would look petty. I know its old fashioned bur It's just not good manners to wear plain white or cream to a wedding. The second top is gorgeous! You dont want people there thinking you've got something to prove.

Good point Ohlittle

I think I might still buy the cream top just because it'll go nicely with the skirt for a different occassion but steer clear for the wedding...unless anyone let's slip that the bride is wearing a completely different colour, which is definitely a possibility.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I don't see a problem as you are wearing a coloured skirt. Just cause it's lacy doesn't make it bridal. I would wear a coloured jacket or wrap to go with it and then you're covered. I would only be concerned that your midriff would be showing? And weddings are usually fairly formal, maybe a bit too much skin showing.

The skirt is high waisted so it'd only be an issue if I was walking around with my arms in the air all the time...maybe if the music's really good

I think that top looks more 'night out on holiday' than wedding.

Hell no to any kind of white / cream to a wedding. There's loads of other colours in the world. Choose one.

No don't wear anything cream and lacey to a wedding - i' d think you were attention seeking (sorry!).

Skirt is a winner. Going to take it shopping with me and hope that the river island in town has the second top for me to see in real life. And look for other possibilities. And maybe different shoes. And jewellery.
Thanks again for the replies.

That's good. Can we see it?

I'll add a pic when I find a top.
Didn't have much luck in town yesterday although didn't go in every shop...DD had tired legs after swimming
