Is this dress too white for a wedding?

[BrainScience]

The dress I wanted to wear wasn’t delivered in time so I panic bought this last night. I completely didn’t think about it being white. Argh. I’m going to have to get another one aren’t I?

Was planning on wearing it with a beigey jacket and beigey wedges.

to be fair to feelingsinister it is boohoo, so it'll be wafer thin and awful quality.

Looks nice to me, not bridal, dressy, be good for a wedding.

Don’t team it with beige!

What formal items do you currently have? Take them Shopping with you! Then you can have a proper idea of how it all looks.

Well Primark had bugger all so I’m stuck with it now. The only jackets I have are either light grey or sandy beige colour.

Beige sounds just fine to me! I can imagine it looking quite summery and not too try hard.... which is generally a good look IMO

Not bridal but still white.
You might get away with it if you have lots of bright accessories.

I've got two Boohoo kimono dresses and they're really thick, flattering material. It's really not bridal... accessorise with bright colours etc and it's lovely.

Nice dress am sure it looks lovely on. Main background is white so not suitable. Bit mean to wear white to a wedding. I never understand why people think it is ok.

I completely just didn’t think about it being white. I was trying to find that fine balance of looking non-frumpy, non-slutty, non-businessy and non-bridesmaidey that I completely forgot the non-white rule. Ah, fuck it. Dh and I have split up and it’s his mates wedding, I’m only going because we’ve already rsvp’d and it’s an expensive do. I’ll never see these people again, I’m sure they’ll cope.

I really think it’s fine op and I can see you’re getting stressed about it. I don’t understand at all the line of thinking that says a wedding guest can’t wear a dress with a white background. The style isn’t bridal, the length isn’t bridal, the large black polka dots aren’t bridal! It’s just a spotty dress. I would have batted an eyelid if someone had worn that at my wedding. In fact two of my aunts wore white / cream suits (one skirt and one trousers), I never thought anything of it and I’m
Sure no one else did. I was the only one in a wedding dress after all

Obvs I meant to say I WOULDNT have batted an eyelid

Im getting married soon and wouldn’t mind if someone wore this. Would look nice with a red jacket and heels or another bright colour.

If the bride has an easygoing nature then yes its fine. If shes a bit of a control freak then dont wear it. Have fun op.

If someone can wear a white dress to a royal wedding I'm sure the OP will be absolutely fine!

Well now we have the context I think you should go all out in a floor length white maxi

As you said, you'll never see them again!

Seriously though, it's fine

Yes! I wouldn’t risk anything that white for a wedding. Stay well clear just to avoid upsetting the bride or her thinking it was too white x

Please don't match it with beige anything. Bold colours are very in, get a nice bright jacket/shoes.

It's fine with non-white jacket and shoes. So long as the dress doesn't resemble a bridal gown (which it doesn't) then I don't see the issue. The last two weddings I've been to neither bride wore white.

It's absolutely fine with non-white jacket and shoes.
I'm skeptical about beige or grey though - i think you need something brighter: a red, yellow, orange or royal blue, or baby blue or pink at a push.

I’ve gone for a green jacket and navy shoes. It actually looks really nice. Thanks everyone, hopefully the bride won’t be pissed with me.

Surely we need a photo of you all sorted OP?

Have a good day.

It’s fine. All these rules around weddings are ridiculous.
