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.

I think it's fine. Team it with blue accessories.

Lol, very much not. Had on jersey Snoopy pyjamas from M&S last night

It just gave me the kind of vibe that @Saisong posted, like the David Nieper/Chums ads in magazines.

Totally fine. If in doubt accessorise with blue or pink maybe -shoes / bag / wrap etc

I think it’s a lovely dress and absolutely fine for a wedding. I would probably add a blue jacket though.

Looks fine in real life but I’d worry it will show white in photos. A blue jacket would help

I think it's fine I would play up the blue with accesories though

Maybe he can't see past the price.....

I always err on the side of caution at weddings and funerals, as it's just not worth it if you end up offending. If there are others you like, I'd probably go for those, just to be safe...

Fine

Essentially this

It's borderline. All it takes is some bad lighting and that blue won't show up!

No, it's a lovely dress and totally appropriate - but I'm sure there will be plenty of replies telling you it is. I'd never heard of such a thing as too white for a wedding until I'd read it here. I don't think it's a 'thing', not in my life of 50 yrs so far anyway.
I couldn't honestly tell you what my guests wore at my wedding, the whole day was a flippin' blur. As a general rule of thumb, as long as you don't rock up in a veil clutching a bunch of flowers, you'll be alright.
And.. breathe...

What style of wedding, and if the bride isn't wearing white what style of dress is she wearing. Casual, laid back registry office wedding wearing a colored midi dress then the photos could mean you stand out more but full ball gown bridal dress in a colour then you'd be fine.

I wouldn’t, it will photograph white. If you have to ask, it’s almost certainly not appropriate.

Funny you should say that, but I was half tempted by multiple dresses in Primark today, but on stepping back for a second, they were ALL nightie like! 🤯😱 Ended up with control pants and face wipes. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I think its fine, dosnt look at all like a wedding dress which is what avoiding white is for!

Looks blue to me, but is it worth that much money for something made in China? At least it says online the clothes are mainly made in China.

I saw an article where a woman wore what was supposed to be a night dress as a normal dress to a wedding, so can work both ways lol.

I would worry if the bride isn't wearing white then some people might think you are the bride

I think with a blue jacket/cardigan it would look less white/ bridal in the photos, but my gut says if you have to ask the question then don’t take the risk.

She looks great. It doesn't look like a nightdress.

It’s lovely

I think the model wears it very well. It would make me look like a dumpy person on the prairie. I would probably spill something down it as well.

It's lovely - too much blue to be a concern

Perfect but accessorise with some bolder blue shades to maybe it very clear
