Is this too close to white for a wedding?

[semideponent]

DH thinks this dress is too close to white for a wedding, but I think it's fine.

I'd love third opinions!

For context, the bride herself is not wearing white, in case that has any bearing on it.

@Raveonette agree, I wish I had somewhere good enough to go😂

I wouldn't, it's too white & agree with pps from a distance/in photos you won't see the blue

It's fine, but as a pp said, it does look a bit like a nightdress!

Each to your own etc, but that first dress is dreadful. The other 2 are great.

So far as OP's dress, it's a bit insipid but no reason not to wear to a wedding.

That coral and white dress suggested is so stunning that if you wore that to the wedding I'd marry you. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't as I'd choose any colour but white or black.

OK, thanks all. I'll err on the side of caution. Good points about how it will look in photos.

As for the nightdress allusion, I think my frame of reference must be way way out there!

Funny, I thought the first one was stunning and hated the other two!

It looks okay to me, but honestly, all you need to do is message the bride and ask her to honestly tell you if she’s happy for you to wear that or not. I’m almost at our wedding now and I’m letting my bridesmaids pick their own dresses as long as they’re a soft blue, and they’re messaging me asking for my opinion. I’m not thinking anything of it and nor are they.

Why even bother listening to your husband about wedding attire. Men rarely know anything about such things. Of course it is fine. Just trust yourself in future!

Looks like a nightie to me op, sorry. Plus you wouldn't necessarily see the colour in the photos, just the white.

I'm always amazed by the "looks like a nighty" comments on this and other threads.

Some of you must have incredibly glamourous sleep wear.

[It doesn't look anything like a nightdress]

Not too close at all, I'd accessorise with a colour though.

I wouldn't.

My mother wore something like that at my wedding when I had said 'anything but white' and it irritated me a very great deal. But there is a back story there.

It is not at all bridal.
I guess he doesn't like it?

Don't go there. The fact your OH would feel uncomfortable about it is surely reason enough.

i suspect he just doesn’t like it rather than actually think it’s too close to a wedding dress

It doesn’t look remotely bridal, so even if the photographs don’t show the detail of the print, it’s going to be fine ( and I usually side eye the’ but it’s cream and lovely, what’s wrong with my (remarkably bridal) maxi dress’ examples often shown on here.

If you have to ask then it probably is. In my opinion it is so don't wear it. There are so many other colours to choose from.

The comments always pop up on threads about dresses for weddings!
I've said before, my nightwear consists of fluffy pjs from primark so none of the dresses give me nightwear vibes....I can only assume most mnetters live more decadent lifestyles than me.

This is the nightdress vibe I mean. I don't wear them personally, but have ladies in my family that do - much like the pair pictured in the slippers!

And the dress doesn't look anything like that.

So anything with a small floral pattern on a pale background is now akin to nightwear?

MN approved wedding outfits are a sensible shift dress and a pashmina
