Could I wear this silver dress to a wedding - or is it too white?

[Dinglydelll]

Last thing I would want to offend anyone - I was thinking of adding bright coloured and bold accessories to break it up?

No.

No, it's too white.

Gutted!

I think with colourful accessories it would work. It isn't a bridal dress and nobody would think you are the bride.

No I don’t think it’s right for a wedding guest.

No and because you sought our opinion, that makes me think you may feel uncomfortable if you did wear it?

Ah no I fear in some lights or in photos it may look too light? Depends on the bride, the type of wedding etc as to whether that’s ok

It looks much darker and greyer in natural daylight

Could break it up with either a bright sparkly necklace or chunky coloured one with bright matching platform sandals?

Absolutely you can. Not close to white at all and with bright accessories it would look lovely.

They have the same dress in other colours. The pink metallic and a floral. Would either of those work better?

Still no. Sorry

It’s fine imo and really lovely

Having said that I think the dress is much darker silver than it looks in the first few photos. I don’t think anyone will think you’re the bride or wearing white.

That dress comes in loads of colours, could you find another?

Of course, you can

I do love this dress but it can look near white in some pictures depending on lighting and I wouldn't relax wondering what the pics look like. It's not bridal at all in real life but I'd steer clear because of the risk. I love it and if you do too try one of the other colours, could you do black and brighten with accessories?

Nope. One of my dear friends wore the same one as her wedding dress (she looked fab!) It’s a great dress and very flattering on lots of body types. Any of the other colours or the floral could definitely work as a wedding guest. There was also a gorgeous blue variation at some point that might be on one of the hire sites?

It's lovely. Wear it. Only on Mumsnet do some women go mental thinking only a bride can wear a white/cream/silver dress.

Yeah that’s fine!
just don’t wear a veil

Pink wouldnt work for me as I am redhead/auburn.

Its an early Sept wedding and I think the other colours look too dark for that time of the year (I love the green).

If I had a dark green / turquoise wrap ... could I wing it?

No

I wouldn’t. It’s a lovely dress but a bit upstage-y for a wedding.

Whatever many mumsnetters might think, you don’t want to be the person the bride (or her mum/family/friends) is upset with because she thinks your dress is too bridal-looking!

I think so. It is not bridal at all and a green wrap/hat/shoes would keep it firmly in the guest not party camp.

I cannot think of anyone I know being offended by it-I certainly wouldn’t be.

I do love the green but its a bit 'seasons greetings' for early Sept ... is there anyway you could neutralise this wintery effect with accessories?

I think it will be fine.
It is clearly silver in colour and not a bridal gown/wedding dress.
Mumsnet can be weird at times.
