Dress for wedding, is it too cream? And what shoes?

[NotReadyForThisX2]

I'm pregnant but not maternity clothes pregnant yet, but been struggling to find a dress. Have a 7 month old Ds too who is breastfed.

Tried this on in oasis and it fits my slight baby bump and I can feed Ds in it and it's not too expensive, seen as it's not my usual style/size don't want to spend a fortune.
But it's cream and I know it's got the flowers on but it looks really cream on. Plus I don't know what shoes to wear, don't want killer heels but feel it really needs them. Was thinking of one of the colours in the flowers but ideally a wedge style so can still have the height but some comfort.

So for one is it ok to wear as a wedding guest? If so any suggestions on shoes, accessories? If not any suggestions on dresses?

Or the Coast Evie Rose wrap dress.

I think it’s fine for a wedding, if you’re worried ask the bride

I tried that leopard print one @wildhairdontcare and it does fit. But I wasn't sure on leopard print for a church wedding and if that looked too autumn/wintery. I showed Dp both and he said definitely the floral one and not animal print for a wedding.

If it was my wedding it wouldn't bother me, but I know people who would judge and there's a good chance that some of the guests would fall into that category.

I know someone who was in the same position as you recently, and she wore this wrap dress and looked fab:

A slightly more radical idea would be to get a light coloured machine dye (like Dylon) but you would need to consider how it would react with the colours on the flower print. There is a pale pink and pale blue dye on the website.

If you're not sure, I just think it would be easier to look for another dress than worry about it

Absolutely perfect for a wedding....I often cringe at some of the dresses at weddings so I'm a tough critic!

Brides don’t own the colours white and cream. They own the right to be the only one wearing a wedding dress. ONLY this IMO.

I wouldn't have minded it being worn to my wedding. Lovely dress!

I bought this , it states beach dress but it is lovely and quite dressy ,( I bought it ) much more vibrant then the pic and a similar style to the one you posted with short sleeves

Beautiful dress and entirely appropriate for a wedding as floral.
Someone wore a white/ cream lace mini dress to my wedding- no one batted an eyelid - I only noticed in the pictures afterwards!

I like it! My sister wore a plain cream dress to my wedding. I didn't care at all!

Two women at my wedding wore white trousers suits. I didn’t care at all. Why would I? They weren’t wearing wedding dresses like I was. Honestly sometimes in these threads some brides come across
As complete bridezillas trying to control everything and everyone and some of the guests are as bad!

When I got married someone wore cream and it stands out in photos, I always think 'couldn't you have just picked ANY other colour and given me one day'

Not really sure what that has got to do with the OP's dress, which is covered in pink flowers.

An all-white, or even all-cream dress, no, I'd say don't do it. But ONLY because of how unbelievably precious some people can be.

I wouldn't care or notice if anyone wore white or cream to my wedding (maybe they did!), and anyone who would feel upstaged by a guest in the OP's cream wrap dress covered in pink flowers with pink wedges has much more to be worried about than a dress.

Or this ?

It's lovely and completely appropriate.

It's a lovely dress and entirely appropriate for a wedding. How could it possibly be seen as rivalling or detracting from the bride?

I see women every summer wearing dresses that don’t have a white or cream background, but as soon as you mention wedding “I can’t find anything else!” Of course you can.

She doesn't need to find a different one though, @mimibunz - this one is lovely for a wedding.

She's also pregnant and breastfeeding, so ifs hardly surprising that she's struggled to find a dress that works.

I'm always surprised by how much cleavage / thigh there is at weddings. Turning up in something very short or with the neckline sitting just above your nipples is far less appropriate than the OP's dress IMO, but plenty of people seem to think that's totally ok as long as there's no white or cream on it. Each to their own I suppose 🤷‍♀️

Agree Bibble, they look like they’re going clubbing.

It isn't a white/cream dress, or a wedding dress, it's a floral summer dress. I think any bride who took issue with it would be batshit and a complete bridezilla. To my daughter's wedding I wore an LK Bennett dress which had an ivory background with multi coloured flowers, and a hat with silk decoration to match the flowers. Her MIL wore a typical MOB affair from phase 8 which was blush pink lace, and a feather head thing. She looked far more bridey than I did. No one was offended by either outfit and the bride wore ivory silk with an F off train and a veil.

Or something really outlandish. A couple of weeks ago I saw someone posting pictures of a gold silk strapless affair with a bustle and loads of people were saying wear it, wear it. Now I think that's rude and attention seeking.

One of the other guests is wearing a white dress with black flowers on and another a really pale pink, which is the colour the bridesmaids are wearing so I was trying to avoid that. So I don't feel quite so bad about it now, they both said they think it's fine. Now I'm just thinking it's a bit mumsy and not very trendy. I know I'm a mum, but I'm the only one of our friends who is.

Choosing my own wedding dress hasn't been this difficult 😂
