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?

In the silver, it's not suitable for a wedding

No to silver, and I think you know, otherwise you wouldn't ask, If the green is too Christmassy what about the paler green? No accessories let the dress do the work.

I definitely don’t remember it being a thing when I was younger. My mum wore a cream wool suit to my wedding and she looked lovely.

But I received a wedding invitation this very month and it actually says please don’t wear white or cream!! I did laugh but I won’t be wearing those colours or anything similar. Are brides more sensitive these days?

Oh my goodness! The hysteria!
There is nothing bridal about that dress!
its silver, not white
its midi not floor length
theres no lace, no satin!
I would go for that dress OP! I love it.

I can’t stand this issue with not wearing anything that has a tiny bit of white in or is too light in colour!
Brides wear all different colour dresses now, so it shouldn’t be an issue for guests to wear what they want!

It's too white. So no.

No. It’s too flashy in the silver. And dare I say it, a bit tacky.

The green version is lovely though and definitely fine for September.

No matter what, I wouldn’t be wearing chunky beads with it! I wouldn’t be wearing a necklace at all

you say in the OP that the last thing you want to do is offend anyone. In that case I’d not risk it, and wear the green. Much safer and also lovely

I think it’s lovely but as you are concerned that it’s not appropriate, ask the bride what she thinks, her opinion is far more important than what we think!

Wear the green, it looks lovely

I tried on the green in selfridges a few years ago & the colour was lovely on, quite shimmery.
Sadly, I have a large bust, which this dress does not suit.

I agree it doesnt need anything - its stunning in its own - I was just trying to think of something to ensure it wasnt seen as bridal.

Think I will save the silver one for my significant birthday later in the year.

Still worried the green is too heavy, dark and seasons greetings - dont want to look like a Christmas cracker - especially at thst time imagine most other guests will be flashing lots of skin and a tan after the summer holidays.

I havent seen the paler green - will investigate now....

I think a "stunning" dress is the wrong idea as a wedding guest. Who are you trying to stun?

@Goinggold dont be ridiculous!

It’s a lovely dress, but I think it’s the right decision to wear the silver for your birthday and not the wedding. Then you can relax.

I wouldn't risk it sorry.

Christ, it's not 'only on Mumsnet' that people care about these things. It is a very, very well known social norm / expectation that wedding guests do not wear white. And that dress looks far too white. And blingy. If you have to ask then the answer is no. You knew that.

Yes. It's gorgeous. And absolutely no to a chunky, coloured necklace.

Can't understand why people are saying it is 'too white' - silver is not white!

FFS. Do you wear a sack cloth to a wedding? Do you honestly not want to look good/stunning/stylish when you go out? Maybe you can't. Sounds like OP can. She seems to have good stylish taste.

"Risk it" What is the danger in risking it? She's going to make some of the other guests look a bit drab?

Having seen a few brides wear the silver Falconetti dress, it's safe to say that you'd need to opt for a different colour. But that said, A friend was recently at a society wedding in the UK, and two of the guests wore the silver. No-one batted an eyelid. And, fwiw, I have worn the silver to a US wedding. They're less precious about guests wearing white/silver.

Anyway, it's a great dress. Lots of versions in other colours and floral prints to choose from, so you'll easily find something.

PP means risk competing with the bride in a similar type dress of course.
A big social faux pas!

Correct!

No.
