Is leopard print ever okay for a wedding?

[TokenGinger]

I am a leopard print lover. I'll just put that out there. But I feel like it might be too casual for a wedding.

I am reeeeeally struggling to find an outfit for a wedding.

Wedding is in a castle, a posh do.

I am a little overweight, currently a size 14/16 but hoping to be a comfortable 14 by the wedding in 8 weeks' time as I'm doing really well on my diet plan (13lb down so far).

I'm a red head and very pale - greens and brighter colours suit me better than pastels.

I have very chunky arms and they're my biggest insecurity so am looking for something at least elbow length.

I also get chub rub so need something I can wear chub rub shorts with.

I've seen this: www.silkfred.com/womens/clothing/dresses/long-sleeve-dresses/jenerique/wrap-midi-dress-in-green-leopard-print

Is it too casual for a posh wedding?

If it is, have you seen anything recently that might fit my above criteria?

Thank you ❤️

Leopard print is fine for a wedding.

I think it was Caitlin Moran who said "animal print is a neutral."

No I don’t think it’s appropriate especially not for a formal wedding. I know lots of people love animal prints but they always scream tacky to me - but each to their own and all that :)

I think the pattern and colour of the dress are nice and totally appropriate for a wedding. However, I don't like that it's 100% polyester, I think it could potentially look very cheap because of that. Also 57 pounds for a poly dress is overpriced imo

Leopard print is fine but that dress looks a little loud for a posh castle wedding to me

I think that that dress would be fine for a wedding.

I think that dress looks lovely for a wedding.

It's fabulous, buy it.

I love that dress and I would wear it to a wedding.

Ohhh mixed opinions.

I do like the dress, but I think some are right in that it could be a little loud for a castle wedding and I hadn't paid much attention to the actual material. I think I might keep looking! Though, I'm definitely tempted to buy it just for summer in general (but I'm going to search via image on Google to see if I can find it cheaper, because I think Silk Fred is a host site for lots of different companies).

I think leopard print is fine, but I don't think that particular dress is great -it looks shiny and a bit cheap.

Having searched via image, it definitely does look cheap on the inside. I don't like the white of the inside of the print!

Back to the drawing board 😫

I came across a lovely Whistles green leopard dress but only tiny sizes left unfortunately.

I have absolutely NO fashion sense at all, so please do excuse me if the suggestions are foul 😂 I will not take offence to anybody telling me they are horrid choices, so long as I don't look a mess at this lovely wedding!

Oh wow! They have some lovely vibrant dresses. Thank you so much for the link. I definitely want something bright as it's a summer wedding, so I think I'll find something on here for sure.

I think they are too bright & garish myself but I like this in same style?

Found another one:

what do you think of the warehouse one I linked above?

I like the green one (the 2nd link you posted) but it's still not quite what I'd wear to a posh castle wedding. Would be good for a normal church wedding.

@Doidontimmm

Oh yes! That's much nicer and I love green. Thank you so much. I think I'll try ordering that one xx

I love that warehouse one and the 1st whistles one
