Yellow wedding guest dress

I have a wedding in August. For some reason I have it in my head that I'd like to wear yellow. Has anyone seen some nice yellow dresses suitable for a wedding?

I mean proper bright yellow not lemon and preferably plain rather than patterned. I've seen one or two I like but they have long sleeves so I think they'd be too hot for August. I'm 36, a size 6-8 and 5'6.

I went to a wedding years ago when bride wore red as she had always wanted to. She got the dress made. Bridesmaids in white. All looked fab

I’m a massive yellow fan and have been looking for an excuse to buy this dress, sadly no weddings on the horizon for me.

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

It might just be me but I have found that if I wear yellow in the summer it attracts all the flies and bugs (maybe they think it’s pollen) and so I am forever flicking them off.

Yep me too, I never wear yellow because of this

They are all really nice!
Love the yellows.

I’m probably out of date but are you not supposed to have covered shoulders at a wedding?

Yes you're out of date. I didn't even have my shoulders covered at my own wedding.

Have a look at kevan jon, they aren’t cheap but they’re really great quality and material and the colours he uses are fabulous.

I love all these dresses BUT I once went to a wedding where a guest (brides brothers partner) wore bright yellow. Her dress was lovely but she stood out an absolute mile and on all the wedding photos she was in it looked a bit wierd, like she'd been photoshopped in because the dress stood out so vividly IYSWIM?

I wore this on Wednesday to a beach wedding in Jamaica, but it will be perfect for August

That’s gorgeous, would be perfect for a wedding. Wish I was slim enough to wear that, if I was I’d be buying that for a wedding I’m going to!

this is beautiful

Don't know if MN would consider it suitable, and I don't wear yellow myself, but this Brora dress caught my eye.

I went to a yellow and navy wedding in the 80s!

If you're a pale skinned woman I don't think it will look right but if you have darker skin or a tan the yellow will look great.

I am very pale but I suit yellow, although not lemony yellow. Butter to egg yolk to mustard though, all great . So I don’t think it only suits tanned people.
