I'm going to a wedding in may, and I already own this dress,
I think it's probably a but much for a wedding, but it so beautiful and would love to get more wear out of it.

Honest opinions please! Grin

I friggin LOVE the rainbow one but it’s not very wedding. I do think the pink would look excellent with the bottom tier removed

Goodness me. Wear it! Amazing

@BillyAndTheSillies

They're all beautiful. Is the third Olivia Rubin? Given the bridesmaids are wearing pink, option two would be safer. But I love option three.
Nope also needle and thread!

It is beautiful and suitable for a May wedding. Saves you spending lots more money for a new dress.

Passmethecrisps · 18/04/2022 21:33

Just wear the first one!

How you accessorise it will make a huge difference. You clearly have a very particular look and you already own this.

One of the things I remember enjoying most about my own wedding was seeing the vast array of outfits and the real effort people had gone to. Nothing would have been OTT - it’s a joy to see people dressed up and loving it

WeAreTheHeroes · 18/04/2022 21:35

The pink dress reminded me of Villanelle. I'd go with the second one you posted as the bridesmaids as in pink. Both beautiful dresses. I'm don't suit frilly and am not tall enough to carry either of them off - you'll look fabulous I've no doubt.

StatisticallyChallenged · 18/04/2022 21:38

I love it, but I'm a needle and thread fan. If you wanted a slightly toned down version what about one of their skirts (I'm coveting the Florence) with a simpler top? Removes any risk of looking like a bridesmaid

Passmethecrisps · 18/04/2022 21:41

I have just had a look at their website - it’s like the childhood dreams of the girliest girl ever! They are absolutely charming and clearly will make whoever is wearing them feel like a Princess. I would look laughably bad in any of them but I would get real vicarious pleasure from
Seeing someone wearing one.

Are you good friends with the bride or groom? If so could you even run it past them?

BunnyFree · 18/04/2022 21:49

Why don't you dye the first dress another colour?

tillyandmilly · 18/04/2022 21:51

Can’t see anything wrong with the dress for a wedding ? I think it’s perfectly suited to a wedding

namechangeforprivacyxxx · 18/04/2022 21:52

I get married in May and I would say it's not too much at all, perfect for a wedding

tkwal · 18/04/2022 21:58

Beautiful dress, very stylish. I would say wear it as often as you can, take enjoyment from it and no it's not ott for a wedding guest

feraldiggy · 18/04/2022 22:06

Some of these replies are crazy to me! Needle and thread is my go to for weddings. Weddings, christenings, baby showers etc I'd say they're both perfect.

Happymum12345 · 18/04/2022 22:13

Perfect for a wedding!

Pbbananabagel · 18/04/2022 22:15

Even if bridesmaids are in pink, they will absolutely not be the only ones there in it as it’s such a popular colour. Go ahead and shorten it, wear with some awesome accessories and enjoy!

OverByYer · 18/04/2022 22:18

I think it looks too bridal

PinkPearlRibbon · 18/04/2022 22:21

I think it’s fine

I think you’ve got amazing taste and I want to be your best friend.

No to the first though sadly if the bridesmaids are wearing pink

Sunsetmom · 18/04/2022 22:34

Perfect for a wedding! As others have said if you can’t dress up for a wedding when can you! Love it and no doubt you will look fab!
