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

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?

Yay it’s letting me post pictures!

Can’t decide if I should accessorise with yellow or pink? Or go for a paler pink?

These are an idea for a bag to go with the shoes I posted earlier.

I think it's entirely appropriate for a wedding. I'd either accessorise with the yellow you've already posted or a dusky pink.

Disfordarkchocolate · 14/05/2019 21:40

I love the yellow accessories.

Rooftree · 14/05/2019 21:43

I’m liking the pink bag with the dress

What about this dress? Looks frumpy but is lovely on. Also I can confirm it is suitable for breastfeeding as I'm also bfing as bought it for a wedding.

I like both the yellow and pink accessories, but it depends on your skin tone, I would never been able to pull off a yellow colour.

I love that black and white dress that the other guest will be wearing. Not so sure about the light pink one personally, i dont like the top part of it all that much on the model. Hopefully your friend has a bigger bust Grin. Still think you should go with your original dress for yourself.

But what have you decided?

NotReadyForThisX2 · 15/05/2019 12:24

I'm ok wearing yellow, I think the bag is too bright a yellow, but I'm going to look around see what I can find. Yes, I'm going to with it @isthismylifenow, unless I find something else in the meantime.
I sent a picture of the oasis floral one and the animal print and asked her which she thought, she said the floral one. So I'm guessing if it bothered her she'd have said the other one.

I'm a lot older than anyone else on this thread, I suspect, and I think it's perfect for a wedding.
As a PP said, some women wear very low necks and/or very short tight dresses which I don't think are appropriate, and here we have a classy, lovely dress and people are finding fault because it's cream, even though patterned.

YemenRoadYemen · 15/05/2019 19:04

I'm glad you asked her which one, rather than is it OK to wear X one.

Honestly, if a friend had come to me and asked me if it was OK to wear that floral dress to my wedding - I'd be horrified that they actually thought for one minute I was that sort of person. I'd wonder what sort of vibe I'd ever given off for them to think that I was the type of person to give a shiny one about such utter nonsense. I'd privately be a bit offended, I think.

Another voice saying I think it is completely fine and I'm in my mid 40s.
If I was a guest at the wedding I would think "what a lovely floral dress" and nothing else.
Especially if you have coloured accessories.

SureTry · 15/05/2019 19:31

The dress is beautiful, not remotely bridal and no way anyone will confuse you as such. Wear it! ☺️

NotReadyForThisX2 · 15/05/2019 19:45

She knew I've been struggling to find something @YemenRoadYemen. So I thought asking like that made it easy for her to veto it without actually having to say she didn't want me to wear it.

I just sent a photo and said finally going something that fits, but not 100% sure about either, what do you think? And she said definitely the floral one.

I've gone for the floral dress but with these wedges, they're more of a coral colour than they look and there's similar coloured flowers in the dress. Already have a clutch bag in the same colour.
Just not sure on jewellery yet. It's next week so will have a look one day next week.

25% off dresses at oasis though so I got it for £43! And bought the animal print one too, as I do like a animal print dress and I'm going out tonight for a friends birthday.

Baby Ds is going to be wearing this! Don't think there's a rule about baby's in cream is there?

You will be gorgeous OP! And your little DS will be adorable in that outfit 😍 Have a fantastic day Smile

TheCaddy · 18/05/2019 20:43

The dress is lovely. Wear it. Threads like this drive me nuts. Wear what you like, it’s hardly a wedding dress.

PhilanthropistBycyclist · 18/05/2019 22:29

Careful - your little one might upstage the bride in that outfit!

banivani · 19/05/2019 10:22

Oh, this link was posted on the royal style gossip thread and I thought if this thread then - here are queen Elizabeth’s best wedding guest outfits, and I am posting a pic of one that obviously means she’s upstaging the bride... www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/g27423176/queen-elizabeth-royal-wedding-guest-outfits/
