Dress for teenage wedding guest

I am buying a dress for my 13 year old for a wedding. It has to have sleeves, not be tight and not be low cut. Those are her specifications. She has a woman's shape already but doesn't like to dress in a way to highlight that.

We have finally found a dress we can agree on but I am worried about the colour?

Is this acceptable? The bride is wearing white.

Looks fine to me, as long as the bridesmaids aren't in silver

I think it’s fine, if you are worried though can she wear a bit more colour in the accessories to be on the safe side? Do you know the bride well enough to explain the situation and check with her?

I think that’s a lovely choice, I wouldn’t be worried about the colour. I think a 13 year old should be able to wear whatever they want without judgement in any case.

Colour is perfectly fine. You both like it so win win. It's not white though floral with a white background is perfectly ok despite what some people think. No one will mistake her for the bride. Enjoy the day.

Bridesmaids are in green so that's not a concern.

She usually wears hoodies and chunky boots, a bit goth style so finding a suitable compromise has been a challenge.
