Is this maxi ok for a wedding guest

[alishylishy]

I bought this dress last summer and surprisingly haven't found occasion to wear it yet

I'm only an evening reception guest but I'm wondering if I'll look like a wannabe bridesmaid? Thoughts/advice would be really helpful ☺️

Apologies for my appalling grammar, I'm posting from my phone

I think that's lovely for a wedding guest! (As long as the bridesmaids dresses aren't blue, that is!)

No I don’t think you would look bridesmaid-y

Lovely dress!

The fact it's cotton and in a hippy-ish style stops it from looking bridesmaid-y IMO - very boho chic.

I don’t think it looks bridesmaid-y. It’s more hippy and boho.

That could look stunning.

Is it an outdoor / relaxed wedding? And presumably in the summer? Fine for that, not really appropriate for a formal wedding imo.

Relaxed Summer wedding, yes

Gorgeous - for the right type of wedding (agree it may not work too well for a formal one). I'm jealous, I'd look like a sack of spuds in that

Gorgeous for a summer wedding. I have a civil ceremony with a reception outside coming up and think that’s going on my list!

Perfect

Yes. I’d say as long as you’re not wearing white or cream, but that’s as I think that should be reserved for the bride.

Oh wow I love that dress!

Yes it's an outdoor, marquee wedding in a field - I'm expecting it to be very relaxed. I think I need to do some investigating re. the bridesmaid colours but all of your replies have made me feel a lot more confident in wearing it, thank you

I don't even need to wear a bra with it, it's really supportive - I highly recommend

That's lovely. So long as the bridesmaids aren't in bright blue, you'll be fine.

I agree you won't look like a bridesmaid. Ideal for a casual summer wedding.
