It’s another wedding one! Is this dress too bright?

[PiriPiriChicken]

Have bought this dress for wedding next week but now I’m having second thoughts. Is it too bright? I have read online now that bright colours are a no-no as you need to blend into the background.

I won’t be in any photos, except perhaps a group shot.

ps.

I understand that many of you will be tempted to post and just say things like “yuck, I wouldn’t wear that dress anywhere, OP” and “you’re going to look like a nasty skank in that dress” and “do you always choose such awful things to wear, OP? Or just when you’re trying to ruin someone else’s wedding?”

Please try not to be nasty. Obviously I am not looking for a character assassination. Just some wedding etiquette advice. 😂

Have also included a link, for those that don’t mind clicking through.

Thanks!

I think that's absolutely fine for a wedding in Summer.

Absolutely fine - and the blending into the background is a new one on me!

It's lush! 😍

Thank you! Panic subsiding.

It’s lovely. Not too bright at all.

Any bride or groom that would take issue with what one of their guests is wearing is utterly unfathomable to me.

Each and every one of my 50 guests were special to my partner and I, and they could have turned up in anything and I wouldn’t have even noticed let alone been pissy about it

You will definitely not look like a nasty skank.

That’s lovely.

I agree, but we just eloped to Gretna and then had a massive knees-up in our garden the week after, so it was very casual.

I don’t know the bride very well. (Groom is husband’s friend). I wouldn’t want to make any assumptions and stick out like a sore thumb!

Looks perfect for a wedding.

Beautiful dress.

And just so I'm clear, the rules are now that we can't wear anything with any white or cream, or vaguely pale, anything black or red, and now no bright colours either? Are guests all basically supposed to dress in grey? (or maybe that's also too close to white... 😂)

why would you worry anyone would call you a skank for wearing that dress?

Seems perfectly fine to me.

Not green either: unlucky. Or anything somber obviously.

Love it! Wear it.

It’s perfectly fine for a wedding! Definitely not nasty skank territory (wtf?) and will look especially fab if you get a sunny day.

To be clear, I don’t think I’m a skank. It’s just a little joke about how things can escalate quickly on MN.

(“What should I buy my husband for his birthday?”

“He should be buying his own presents. LTB”)

Agree OP, some S&B threads have taken really weird and nasty turns recently. Which is a shame because it was generally a supportive place. Some posters seem to think all threads are AIBU.

I really like that dress. it will brighten up a grey day and really sing if it's sunny. Nice find!

It's gorgeous!

Oh no, what's wrong with red?

Love your dress OP.

Isn’t it obvious? If Chris de Burgh comes on at the disco, everyone will be looking at you instead of the bride!

That is lovely. Perfect for a wedding.

Love it lovely and bright for summer.

I was at quite a posh wedding recently and there were a lot of bright clothes. More than pastels.

I'm disappointed, I was hoping for a dress made out of high-vis material.
