Is this too 'white' to wear to a wedding

[fearfultrill]

Is this too white to wear to a wedding? I can't decide.

Beautiful but yes.

No it doesn’t look remotely bridal to me. It’s a lovely dress & if you had worn it to my wedding, I wouldn’t have batted an eyelid ( & probably not even noticed it.)

I don’t think so especially if paired with a coloured jacket or wrap. Depends on the wedding though, if you think the bride will be in a full length ‘meringue’ then it’s fine, if you think it is a more low-key affair then it might be too bridal

Too bridal

@calzone it’s not about it looking like a bridesmaid dress, you don’t wear white to someone else’s wedding

Lol, are you serious?! Far too bridal, you'd make a fool of yourself.

It’s so lovely though.
I am off to a wedding tomorrow and committing many many faux pas
white silk check
black check
irregular choice pink lace shoes check

oh well

Definitely too bridal. What if the bride is going for a tea length or more informal dress?

It's nice get it and save for a summer party

If you go and look on the website and scroll through the pictures, the pattern is a lot more obvious than in OP's picture. It really isn't a white dress or remotely bridal.

Doesn't look bridal to me. If you are worried, wear it with colored shoes, maybe pale green and a shrug of a similar colour.

Yes

I know what the bride is wearing and it's vastly different, a classic wedding dress. It was more the colour I was worried about than it being 'bridal'. I might still buy it and save it for something else though as I think it's truly beautiful!

I think it’s fine for a wedding guest. Lovely dress. I’d wear it.

Actually, having said that, it is remarkably similar to my wedding dress!

It was from M&co

@kirstenraymonde absolute bollocks.

When else would you wear a dress like that other than a wedding?

It’s a dress to wear to a wedding.

Honestly no one will think you are the bride. The bride is clearly the bride.

This wearing white malarkey is Mumsnet shite.

Depends. Are you the groom’s mother? If so omg how very dare you!!!!
Anyone else? Go for it, it’s lovely.

No it isn't "MN shite" you don't wear white to a wedding. It's well known. In fact my colleague at work only made the same comment the other day as a wedding party were outside our work and one of the guests was wearing a white full length dress! Rude! We both said that it was rude and you shouldn't wear white to a wedding and my colleague isn't remotely MN. Everyone knows it. You don't do it. It's not your day, it's the bride's (and groom's (or 2 brides)) and it's not worth the risk of upsetting the bride or liking like you are trying to upstage her. Inappropriate and thoughtless. She only gets one wedding day so don't do anything that could risk "ruining" it when you can easily wear a different colour. Don't do it.

A white full length dress is different to what has been posted though.

Honestly it is Mumsnet shite.

No one cares.

I would not care if someone had worn this to my wedding. Not in the slightest. No one will be in any doubt who the bride is and all this not wearing white is total baloney. If it was only textured and not patterned I would say no simply because other wedding guest might get a bee in their bonnet

You don't wear white to a wedding - although I wouldn't have given a flying hoot if someone had worn it to mine (seriously - who would?!).

But this dress isn't white.

It's absolutely fine.

The don't wear white 'rule' is about all over white and full length really (unless the bride is going less formal). A couple of guests at my wedding word similar and looked lovely. The only one who looked a bit out of place wore pretty much all over black although she did ask me first if I minded.

I think it is so pretty! Loads of my wedding guests turned up in black so I would have been really pleased to see someone wear this. Although I am now divorced so maybe they had a point! You could neutralise it a little with a jacket and shoes? Perhaps a dusky rose would work?

Unless in real life the pattern is much more pronounced, then it's not suitable for a wedding. It's not just the colour - it's also the fabric. That very fine tulle (?) material is really bridal and found in lots of wedding dress styles at the moment.

Gorgeous gorgeous dress but not for a wedding guest in afraid.
