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

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

As a red head, silver will wash you out anyway. You need gold, yellow, coral, lime green, blues, reds, warm purples etc.

It’s is quite modern bride though. Someone unthread’s friend wore it as her wedding dress. Not all weddings are merengue and lace

I agree. I suspect with red hair, the OP is at the paler end of the spectrum and u can’t see silver being very flattering.

It will scream Main Character Syndrome. Totally inappropriate for a wedding...I'd cringe just at the thought of wearing it 😬

Thats a something I hadnt thought of - also might look like a disco ball when I'm dancing to Shake it Off .... could risk murder on the dancefloor - but you better not steal the moves....

God, people spout some utter bollocks on here.

Surely a wedding is a good excuse to wear a lovely dress? And nobody but the craziest of brides and some random loons on the internet are likely to care a jot. My daughter got married in the green version of this dress.

I'd wear it like a shot if I thought it would look nice on me.

I absolutely love this dress and 100% think you should wear it. Do normal people actually care what guests at weddings wear? Does it matter what they think? If it’s a wedding of friends surely they won’t care. What will
happen if others don’t think you are wearing an appropriate dress-will they stop speaking to you forever? Why do we create all these silly rules for women? Just wear whatever you feel good in.

Also I have the Mint Velvet dupe of this dress and it’s my most favourite dress of all time and I feel fantastic in it. I would bloody love to wear the real thing!

She’s risking dirty looks all night, potentially upsetting a bride that cares about that type of thing or even someone accidentally tipping a glass of red all over her! Has happened before where someone has worn a white dress and not the bride!

No way
unless of course you are the bride

It’s not white.

@Dinglydelll My DD is late 20s and has several Vampires Wife dresses. She’s tiny and they are quite sleek fitting. I would just put some decent jewellery with it. Definitely nothing chunky. I would say it’s more evening do at a wedding and not a day dress wedding. It’s obviously meant to be a cocktail dress as VW day dresses were not in a fabric like that. DDs are floral. If everyone else is going glam, it’s spot on. If others going pared back/demure, you will get noticed. Do you know what’s expected? I think that’s key.

The greener is nicer imho
red or gold shoes

Only if you are the bride.

I think it’s fine, maybe wear coloured shoes and accessories with it ?

I don’t think that this dress will work for a larger bust tbh
A lovely , square neck , scooped neck would be better

The green one would be perfect!

I love it op, think it is perfect for a wedding

It's in Cheshire, couple are young profs (late 20's) very social and well travelled. Its the daughter of my best friend and her friends and family my age are pretty polished and glam - def not demure. I dont know what the younger generation will be wearing - though at her sons wedding 2 years ago there were many stunning designer creations amongst the guests. Its in a stately home not a relaxed boho / garden / barn type venue.

I love it. It’s not a bridal gown at all

@DinglydelllWell if it’s Cheshire, that makes all the difference. Housewives of Cheshire glam then!

I did this. And I got married abroad. And it was child free.
Would you and I not be friends in rl? 😂

OP, the pashmina will be taken off and shoes won’t be visible in the vast majority of photos. You can’t make it look different from what it is. Don’t do it. You know you really shouldn’t and that is why you’re asking….

Nice dress. But for a wedding guest? Good grief. No. The fact that some people claim they wouldn't care if somebody else showed up to their own wedding in the same/similarly bridal-but-only-in-the-right-light outfit as the bride/bridesmaids/wedding party is certainly not true of all people. So why risk it? Don't be an arse is a good rule in life. I don't believe, for a second, you can't find an equally glamorous dress to wear that doesn't potentially mistake you for a member of the wedding party. Which would be deeply crass.
