Is this dress okay for a wedding?

[Waitingforsummer25]

It’s the most beautiful dress and have yet to have an occasion to wear it! But is it too much for a wedding? Is it too ‘look at me’

Yes, it’s beautiful. Stunning with minimal strappy sandals and nude bag. You’ll look, and feel amazing, I bet. Have a lovely time x

I think it's lovely and totally suitable for a wedding.

Just. So. So tacky. I guess if you want to channel your inner Kardashian, but maybe a wedding isn’t the place. Maybe for the wedding evening social – but I still think it’s more appropriate for a wag nightclub ruse. Since you asked! LOL

That old fashioned approach still seems a fair attitude to me though!

It’s not a bonkers rule. It’s about having respect for the occasion, and in this case, the bride and groom.

For the evening reception, perhaps, but it’s not really wedding-ey. I think it looks a bit cheap tbh (as in, in the 70% off section) and definitely not worth £265

It's gorgeous. Wear it.

Don't be daft.

It’s lovely - definitely wear it. I love colour at weddings. We had a black tie wedding and the ladies were in their long dresses - the colours were gorgeous - made for great photos!

Nope. I would never wear red to a wedding

Tacky?! Oh wow, glad your opinion is in the minority on here! though as you say I did ask! So opinion is accepted 😊
never seen Kim Kardashian in anything like this, just doesn’t feel her vibe at all.

Maybe online it doesn’t do it justice but in real life it’s really very beautiful, 100% silk, bias cut and drapes over body amazingly. ( I also bought it second hand so didn’t pay £265!)

I think this would be fine for an American wedding, where the dress code always seems to be much more formal cocktail / evening dress. Not sure about a British wedding tbh (sorry).

Id wear it .i love it. Id wear nude shoes and bag, nude makeup, and small earrings though to counteract

ohh really, it actually is in America! I’m in UK but bride is American.

Lovely!!! Yes wear it 😀

That sounds perfect! Just how I’d style it

I think it's fine. You're well covered up even if it is body hugging.

I don't wear white to weddings (well, not mainly white anyway) and it is about the only fashion rule I stick to. But imo the red rule is quite old fashioned. I had heard of it though, even outside MN

Good, glad it looks better in RL. Still don’t think it’s suitable for a wedding unless it’s for the reception but it sounds like cocktail dresses are fine for weddings in America.

I’d heard of the red thing for weddings but not sure it’s widely known over here. Maybe check it’s not a definite thing in America though, just in case?

It's lovely. Wear it if you want to. I think it is totally suitable.

Some of these "rules" are just bonkers. Ignore and enjoy your dress.

Go for it...i would. 😉

The "red rule" is complete nonsense- particularly the "it means you've slept with the groom" or I suppose the bride, version.

There is something to be said for "don't distract from the bride" e.g at a very low key wedding turning up in something spectacular, no matter what the colour, might be a bit off.

No Don't WEARThis to the wedding-fromfor the actual wedding don't wear this but for the reception party celebration this will be really just the thing and it's always very cool when you have a change of outfit

It’s pretty awesome. But, in all honestly, I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding just because it’s very “look at me”. But it depends on the wedding, the social circle etc, as to whether that’s a good thing or a socially-inept thing. Definitely think twice though.
