Is this too white for a wedding guest?

After seeing discussion on this on another thread I'm worried this dress I've bought is now too 'white'- I thought the floral pattern made it ok, but maybe not... What do you think?

No from me too

Lovely and totally fine for a wedding.

Mustardbay · 04/05/2021 21:13

Too white

Drbrowns · 04/05/2021 21:13

I think it’s lovely. Pink shoes and pink bag and it’ll fab. Definitely not too white

Dinosauraddict · 04/05/2021 21:14

Too white, definitely not acceptable.

WindowsSmindows · 04/05/2021 21:14

Don't do it, it's bridal.

ChelseaCat · 04/05/2021 21:14

Totally perfect for a wedding, especially with some colourful accessories! It’s gorgeous - I might get it for my son’s christening!

Toilenstripes · 04/05/2021 21:15

I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding.

Tartyflette · 04/05/2021 21:15

Depends. With coloured (not ivory/cream) accessories it might be ok. Also if you take a jacket (or similar) if it's cold, don't make it a cream one.

ShopoholicIn · 04/05/2021 21:15

Yes too white. Not for a guest at wedding.

Palavah · 04/05/2021 21:16

Hmm. How are you accessorising it?

Scarby9 · 04/05/2021 21:16

It is beautiful.
Pink accesories will bring out the pink rather than the white for the wedding.

MadisonAvenue · 04/05/2021 21:16

I think it’s fine. As already suggested, accesorise it with pink - or green even - and it’ll look lovely.

I've never seen a bride in anything that resembles this style. Hobbs are promoting for wedding guest wear.

Perfect for a wedding with coloured hat/fascinator and bag and shoes

firstimemamma · 04/05/2021 21:17

Not appropriate for a wedding - too white. All the people saying it would be fine don't really know how the bride would feel so best to err on the side of caution imo.

GriseldaChop · 04/05/2021 21:17

I think it's lovely for a wedding, not bridal at all.

Pancakeorcrepe · 04/05/2021 21:17

It is too white and too bridal. It’s a lovely dress but don’t wear it as a wedding guest.

ThatIsMyPotato · 04/05/2021 21:17

Too white for a wedding

Lelophants · 04/05/2021 21:18

Absolutely no way. Don't rock the boat! Always. Stay. Away.

ThatIsMyPotato · 04/05/2021 21:18

It's nice but there are just so many other dresses out there. If you choose that one someone will comment.

I was going for pale pink accessories- no jacket- maybe a hat too.

Sorry you cant wear that, it definitely has a bridal feel...

MuddySocks · 04/05/2021 21:18

Nope
