Another 'is it too white?' one

[Cososom]

Is it too white?

Looks great on (imo), feels very comfortable. The bride isn't wearing a) white or b) a dress. It's a central London venue, lots of creative / arty types.

What does the hive mind reckon?

If the bride isn't wearing white and it's a creative/arty type affair, you could look like the bride in that dress.

But I'm clearly not the bride, so does it matter? It's not as if the other guests are going to look at me and mistake me for her - they know what the bride looks like.

i guess I'm wondering if it is such a big deal to wear a dress with a significant amount of white on if it's not a 'traditional' wedding?

Here's a simple rule: If you have to ask "is this too white?", then it is.

Can you ask the bride? I personally would be fine with it but loads wouldn't

Its absolutely fine, it has giant bright flowers on it

Edited- if you look at the pics in the reviews it looks even more colourful on those and nearly every review I skimmed said it was worn for a wedding. Its fine.

I wouldn't risk it tbh, there's plenty of other lovely dresses about that you don't have to ask this question of.

I know but I really like this one 😅

That doesn’t look remotely like a bridal dress. Personally I don’t like it as it looks messy but if you feel great in it then you’ll look good too.

I think it’s fabulous, and definitely not too white. (Unfortunately, with big boobs, I would look like I was wearing a leftover marquee from the Chelsea Flower Show in that unstructured style. )

I think it’s fine it’s filled with big flowers all around it. I don’t see how this would be mistaken for a wedding dress.

No, it's not too white. Or too bridal. It's a great choice

I think it looks fabulous and fine for any wedding imo.

I'm sorry but this is a stupid rule. OPs dress is not white, and half of it is covered with large colourful flowers.

And maybe it's time to stop this insanity of pandering to every absurd whim of ridiculous bridezillas?

No but it is hideous and it's polyester.

It's basic social etiquette not to wear white, or anything that might compete with the bride for that matter, at weddings.

It's fine, I actually love it!

If the bride isn’t wearing white, I think that “if you have to ask the question, etc” doesn’t apply.

I like it

Well, you're right about it being polyester, which is to its detriment, I agree. We will have to differ on the hideousness element. I think I look rather fabulous in it tbh.

Can Guests Wear White to a Wedding? Experts Weigh In

The bride isn't wearing white. Or indeed, a dress. Hence my question.

And my answer was, regardless, if you have to ask it, then the answer is no.

It is also hideous, like a novelty tablecloth.

😂 We clearly have very different styles.

If you couldn't be mistaken for the bride in it then you can wear it and fuck what anyone else thinks.

I think it’s really nice and not at all bridal. Wear it!

What does 'anything that might compete with the bride' even mean? Particularly when the bride isn't wearing a big white dress anyway? Should guests deliberately choose a boring or unflattering outfit? Be careful not to do their makeup too nicely? Avoid haircuts or styling just in case their hair is nicer than the bride?

If you're dressed appropriately to the setting and not like you think you're the bride, you're fine. It is not necessary to cringe away from any hint of background white like it's daylight and you're Nosferatu. I like this dress and it'd be great for an arty London wedding.
