Is this too white for a wedding guest?

[FreekStar]

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?

Defo not for a wedding. Way too white.

I just couldn't... it's ONE colour to avoid at a wedding, I just don't understand why people find it so difficult? Please don't wear a long white dress to someone's wedding, patterns or not.

Nope - why ask if you're going to campaign for wearing it anyway?? You don't wear white to a wedding. It's really simple.

Nope. Too white, just a bit too 'flowery bridal' style.

Avoid!

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

Me neither. But it just looks too white overall.

I think it's lovely!

No way. It's rude to wear what is essentially a white dress as a wedding guest.

It is styled as wedding guest and looks nothing like a wedding dress. Summer weddings are always going to attract pastel, light coloured clothes and this is a perfect example.

I cannot see how anyone would have an objection to a pretty summer dress like this.

I think it’s absolutely fine and not at all bridal looking.

if you don’t know the bride DEFINITELY do NOT wear it

While the style isn’t like a wedding dress it is definitely too white

Absolutely beautiful dress but not to a wedding. I vividly remember someone's plus one who wore something similar to my wedding and she is forever known as girl in the white dress. I didn't think that would annoy me but it did. Greatly.

I'd wear it.

This one from Kitri similar kind of style but not so pastel...

You've had 61 responses, tally up the 'yes' and 'no' votes. Use this will be a representation of how the guests at the wedding will think/react?

I do have to agree with others, if you're on the fence enough to ask the Q, it should be a no. Also, you won't enjoy the day as much if you're worrying about what people will think! The gorgeous dress though!!

the flowers make it very seventies bridesmaid imo

also it's very reminiscent of those floral austrian blinds that were all the rage about the same time.

It's a triple no from me....too white, too floral, too soft furnishings.

I think if you have to even ask, it means it is too white. Don't do it.

I think it's lovely for a summer wedding. Unless you know the bride isn't wearing a standard bride dress.

I think it’s absolutely lovely, and with coloured accessories would look gorgeous!

If you wore this to my wedding and any other sane person’s I wouldn’t have bat an eyelid.

But - as you can see - there is a bizarre level of preciousness surrounding weddings, and even if the bride didn’t care, you’d have some small-minded guests judging you.

Honestly, this sort of thing reflects so badly on (certain) women.

Can you imagine men kicking up such a fuss about what other men wear?

It’s embarrassing.

If you're not even a guest of the bride then definitely err on the side if caution and DO NOT wear that.

I wouldn't, but you obviously want to! It won't be the end of the world at all. Just wear it.

Why don't you ask the bride how she would feel about you wearing it? I wouldn't of cared less at my wedding 🤷‍♀️

I always go by the mantra if you have to ask, or have doubts, then it's probably not appropriate.

Sorry, just seen you don't know bride! Maybe not then...

I wouldn't wear it...very pretty though
