Is this dress okay for a wedding?

This one:

Ok think it varies from church to church tbh. I have been in some that don't mind and others that do.

Gorgeous, fine for a wedding I think. It depends on the church and the people getting married whether or not you cover your shoulders. I don't really like wraps as, like you say, they're a bit of a faff! However churches are chilly! You might want to take something, perhaps a smart light coat? I usually have a jacket on for the ceremony if the temperature is cool.

I end up looking awkward wearing things like a wrap because I just don't know how to wear it/hold it. Juggling that and holding a baby doesn't fill me with confidence. I think I'll just risk it. I doubt anyone will have a go at me for it.

It depends on the type of wedding of course but for the run of the mill British wedding it looks perfect.

I hate wraps too... why wear a nice, well-fitting dress and then cover it up with a shapeless piece of material?
Glad to hear you're going for it OP, you won't be the only one showing your shoulders I'm sure.

Lovely dress, but yes, shoulders really should be covered in a Catholic church.

If you are travelling back in time for this wedding you will have to have your shoulders covered and wear a hat. If not, the dress is perfect as it is.

Again, I always have chilly shoulders so would have a wrap or a little jacket BUT I don't think you necessarily need to. If a wrap is going to annoy you then don't bother. The whole look is lovely - your hair idea is fab! Enjoy!!

You don't need to cover your shoulders in a Catholic church. Most Catholic brides in the past decade have worn strapless dresses themselves.

You only need to cover your shoulders where they specifically ask you to. Many orthodox churches in eg Greece, I think St Peter's Rome.

Don't worry about it. If you'll be warm enough with shoulders uncovered, then fine.

Def no fascinator - not with that glorious hair - though you could put a flower or something in the knot. I wouldn't, more expense, faff, it's lovely as it is.

Have a great time.

Great... bare shoulders it is! And no fascinator, is that the general consensus?

Yep, I say no to the fascinator too.

Beautiful dress and wouldn't worry about shoulders but i was always told not to wear black dresses to a wedding

It's blue as far as I can tell.

It's navy. Much lighter than the picture appears :)

The dress is stunning, just a wrap or a pashmina type scarf for the church andto stay warm on the way home. I often agonise over wearing a jacket over a dress and what will match etc but just a wrap is all that is required.

Beautiful dress. Regarding covering your shoulders, it depends on the wedding. Normally I would say no need, however I have attended 2 weddings in Italy and it is a norm there to cover your shoulders in church.
