Is this too pale

[IsItTooPink]

We’re off to a wedding in March and my daughter wants me to enlist the MN massive to see if wearing this is ok? Is it too pale?

I think the pale pink is actually fine for a teenager. It's the sort of thing they wear for a 6th year prom and I think it meets the 'dress to impress' brief. And if the bridesmaids are in a different colour, presumably with hair up, bouquets etc, they won't really look similar.

I say this as someone whose aunt wore a floor length white floaty dress to her wedding.

Love the blue dress for you OP. Most colours of accessory would look good with that.

I think that’s the Vinted seller in the pic. Although I’m sure the OP’s daughter is also gorgeous!

I agree with previous posters that its the style of dress rather than the colour and possibly that it's full length that makes it look a bit bridesmaidy.

However I get it, shes 18 and wants to look nice. Would something like any of these work?

Too pale, too much like a bridal or bridesmaid dress.

I think these are all horrendous!

Both your dresses are beautiful and fit the brief. Enjoy the day!

Agreed. These are hideous. For any occasion.

How old is the bride?

I see the day dress vs evening dress distinction rather artificial and irrelevant here. I don't think that younger people care about it. Moreover, dress to impress gives permission to just go with the best dress you have (as far as it isn't a white gown with a veil).

It is light, but not white/cream/ivory. And it is simple enough, nowhere neer dress to impress bride.

Are you wearing your hard hat?

Not keen on the third one but the first one is great.

I suppose it depends on how one interprets "dress to impress". The OP's dress don't impress me much.

Everyone is different etc, etc, but those are terrible. Especially the first one.

I wouldn't wear most of them myself (especially the first), just demonstrating various ways you can dress 'up' - long, satin, lace -without looking anything like a bridesmaid.

I don’t think the 18 year old is the mother of the bride.

I think that fits the bill.

What if you ate a pie?

😄Or spaghetti bolognaise?

Ok for office attire if you're in your 40s (which I am, no shade there). Hardly wedding 'dress to impress'! All those options are terrible.

I thonk the pink dress looks a bit tight and yes, too pale. In a darker colour, I think it would be nice, given the dress code.

I couldn't decide if it was a joke or not. 😀

That’s more like it.

It is gorgeous!

I think the pink dress is lovely and exactly the sort of thing an older teen would wear to a wedding.
My daughter and her friend wore almost exactly the same to my wedding a couple of years ago.

I quite like the green one. The 1st looks like it was made out of a ragbag and the last one looks like a wannabe nurse.
Not I am impressed by the 1st one, for the stated occasion.

First of all you look amazing OP! Personally I would look at a darker colour. How was you thinking about accessorising it?

I think it's just about ok but will be better if have something over it to make it less bridesmaid. I presume as in March, you'll need something to protect yourself against the chill?

Your dress is great. Your daughter can probably get away with the pink one, but personally I don’t think full length gowns are suitable for wedding guests.

It isn't appropriate at all op. It's not just the colour.

It is too long, too strappy, too booby for a wedding guest. It just isn't what you would wear, and would "impress" for all the wrong reasons.

VB wore a strappy, silky, petticoat-y thing to an evening thing for Brooklyn's wedding and there was a lot of chatter - and that was evening. It needed at least a little jacket (and who knows, maybe she had one for the ceremony, I'm not sure). But turning up like that in the middle of the day is just OTT.
