Is this too white to wear to a wedding?

[happytobemrsg]

Just bought this lovely dress (still waiting for it to arrive). Do you think I could wear it to a wedding in July? No biggie if not. It’s probably too white now I think about it 🤔

I think it's fine @happytobemrsg !!

I love it too, very pretty.
These shoes could go well with it.

I think it's fine! If someone wore that to my wedding I wouldn't be bothered it's a lovely dress!

It looks like something a clown's wife would wear. If its my wedding your planning to wear this to, please don't

Gosh some people are rude! It's not too white. If it suits you then it's great! You know the venue / style of occasion so can accessorise accordingly. Sorted. Have fun!

If this had been styled in the photo with heels and a clutch I doubt many people would say it's too casual. 😂

I’m very confused by the “too casual for a wedding” brigade. You do realise that just because it’s styled with trainers in the photo doesn’t mean you have to wear trainers with it? How is a long sleeved midi dress too casual for anything?

I’m even more bemused by the thought that anyone might confuse the OP with the bride 🤣🤣. The bride will be the one at the front in the veil/lace/satin, with the groom, clutching the flowers. I don’t think there’s much chance of anyone throwing confetti on the OP or inviting her to pose for photos with the bridesmaids 🙄.

I think its too white and too casual, even with heals it's not a flattering dress.

I'm very traditional and I wish people can just hold off wearing a white dress for one day.

I saw a pic of a woman wearing a white crochet dress to a wedding. She had a picture taken next to the bride. It looked ridiculous.

This dress isn’t even white! It’s quite a creamy cream, with brightly coloured stars all over it.

Well the dress is coming tomorrow & I’ll report back! Thank you for all your feedback

Omg. People need to see through the shoes. Put a pair of heels on and why is this not dressy enough. No you won’t be mistaken for the bride. It’s cool! If you feel like doing a little twirl in it then get it

It's a beautiful dress - I still think it's too white for a wedding but I think it'll look fabulous on and styled.

It's not too white or too casual, it's very cool and will look elegant if styled well. You need a block heeled sandal (low and easy to walk in) and a nice clutch bag.

It's lovely, I'd wear a bright cardigan or jacket to be sure.

It's too pale and too casual. It's also horrible, I can't imagine anyone looking good in it.

I think wearing it with coral will work well so long as there are enough accessories - ie a scarf or at least a shawl or shrug in coral for the actual ceremony and photos once you get to the reception no one will care.

If you like it - go for it....

If the bride is wearing a traditional wedding dress this is fine for a guest. If she’s not then I wouldn’t.

So when the bride sends a photo of her dress to all the guests, you’ll know what to wear

The OP might know the bride Ohyesiam? She’ll definitely know the venue etc. That will give some clues I expect.

(Not that I’ve become strangely overinvested in this thread or anything)

I think it's fine if you're planning on wearing a coloured jacket/shawl/top layer. If you're just wearing it on it's own then I think it might be too white.

Don’t be so fucking stupid.

Any of us with half a brain can usually work out how traditional a wedding will be from the invitation. If you can’t it’s easy enough to ask the bride or groom if the bride will be wearing a traditional wedding dress.

FFS🙄

Um, sorry it looks like a nighty. It's not very flattering. However, if it's your style then you would in no way be mistaken for the bride. Unless the theme is clowns in night wear.

Not too white, but I think it looks like a shapeless sack! Personal taste.

I did send the dress photo to the bride to get her opinion & she loves the dress so no issue there. Of course, it could be too sheer, not fit etc etc. Midi dresses which nip in do suit my frame.

Re shoes. I can’t wear heels so will be wearing flats (I’m 5ft 6in so not normally a problem). If necessary I could buy some new brightly coloured flats.

Love the thought that this is the sort of dress a clowns wife might wear 😂😂😂

With a bright belt , shoes and bag and dressy makeup it will be fine.

My only concern would be that it's polyester so if it's a hot day you might find it sticky and sweaty and it looks too sheer for dress guards

But some people manage to wear polyester without turning into a puddle of sweat - sadly not me

I can’t believe how RUDE some of you are
@happytobemrsg asked if it was too white for a wedding - that’s all. She thinks it’s a lovely dress and she did NOT ask whether anyone liked it or not, so it’s rude to comment negatively anyway, but done if the comments are just nasty & would be uncalled for even if she had asked if people liked it.
