Is this dress suitable for a wedding?

I know it’s white underneath but a floral pattern and unlikely to be mistaken for a bride! What do you think?
Summer wedding in nice hotel!

No from me

Gensola · 06/04/2022 21:15

I think it’s lovely, and the bright colours make it fine to wear.

Hell0G00dbye · 06/04/2022 21:17

@narcdad is it don’t like the dress or that it’s too white?

I think it's nice for a wedding. I wore a floral dress with a white background to a wedding last year and was worried after reading comments on here that it was too bridal but once I was there it was very obvious I wasn't the bride and there were many guests in similar patterns.

Hotcuppatea · 06/04/2022 21:19

It's gorgeous.

Allusernamesalreadyused · 06/04/2022 21:19

It's lovely. Perfect for summer wedding

PartyPlan · 06/04/2022 21:21

I think it’s too close to bridal given long and floaty it is. It’s gorgeous though!

I’ve never seen a bride in a bright floral dress like that.

Op it’s a yes from me.

Redglitter · 06/04/2022 21:23

Its lovely. Ideal for a summer wedding

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 06/04/2022 21:24

Depends on what the bride’s wearing. If she’s in a traditional gown, you’re fine in this. But, if she’s gone for a more boho look that’s a similar shape, it could be embarrassing.

twinkletwixkle · 06/04/2022 21:25

I love this, love to wear something like that but I'm in turtle necks still as no doubt my kids would pull my boobs fully out for the world !!!

Silverclocks · 06/04/2022 21:27

I like it a lot. In fact it's exactly what I'd choose if I were to marry again (which I won't) so that would be no from me as a guest.

Hell0G00dbye · 06/04/2022 21:27

@twinkletwixkle luckily I will be child free! They do have a mind of their own these days 😂 the brides are wearing a formal structured wedding dress if that makes sense, it won’t be a flowy boho one!

I’d say no, it would be fine if it was knee length but a (mostly) white maxi dress pushes it too far for me

DeliaOwens · 06/04/2022 21:35

Lovely dress for summer wedding at a nice venue.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 06/04/2022 21:48

I think it’s fine if the bride’s in something totally different, but bung on a brightly coloured wrap or shawl, to be on the safe side - you can take it off after the photos.

PartyPlan · 06/04/2022 21:51

@Adeleskirts but it’s not bright floral though, the flowers are quite pale and wouldn’t stand out unless you were fairly close.

hangrylady · 06/04/2022 21:52

Yes it's lovely

20viona · 06/04/2022 21:53

Erm I wouldn't personally.

PermanentTemporary · 06/04/2022 21:54

I think it's fine.

Kite22 · 06/04/2022 21:58

I think the colour is fine. Not sure about the style - it says 'relaxed summer BBQ' to me, nice 'wedding in nice hotel'

FrMaguire · 06/04/2022 22:03

I wouldn't wear it because I think someone will judge and it would make me feel awkward. But for me, it's a yes. I don't think it looks like a wedding dress really and it's very pretty. I'd never judge someone in that, but I wouldn't wear it myself for fear of being judged 🙃

mocktail · 07/04/2022 09:31

It looks lovely. Not at all bridal to me.

MrsZzz · 07/04/2022 11:12

I think it’s lovely and totally different from a structured wedding dress. Can you accessorise with brights (shoes/bag/cardi/wrap) to pick out the colours in the dress?

Hell0G00dbye · 07/04/2022 12:31

@MrsZzz yes definitely! I have some bright yellow or bright pink heels and a pink blazer to go over it !
