Is this outfit too much for an Irish church wedding in May?

[ahsurelookit]

Another wedding guest one sorry!!

I am part of the grooms family. I will be doing one church reading and will be in a few pictures. I bought this and loved it. But now I am thinking it is too much? I am a size 14, 5'6'' tall, my bum/ bust measurements are equal and my waist is defined. I'm 36

Irish church wedding in May

It’s honestly so weird when people give advice like this when it’s blatantly obvious it’s not from a place of actual experience!

No such thing as too much.

I’m laughing at all those saying it isn’t appropriate for a church wedding.

Having been to many Irish weddings and communions, I would consider it rather demure 🤣

Joking aside, it’s beautiful

Please read the thread,the wedding is in Ireland. As an Irish person in Ireland, I can tell you it's perfectly fine.

You can spot the English a mile off on this thread 😂

You might need a lil red fascinator. Only problem is you might be cold, you might need a wrap of some sort. Although if in Dublin skip the fascinator.

If you like it - wear it! Gone are the days of adapting everything to fit in with the church. Who cares. It’s 2026. Go as you are, however you feel great. Everyone’s going to be looking at the happy couple - and if that’s the most OTT outfit out of the congregation, then what a boring bunch.

It's beautiful OP. Irish here and can assure you it's not too much for a church wedding. Personally. I think CoE is more conservative than Catholic churches.

Yes it’s fine. Irish. Attend many weddings. You’ll fit right in!

God love them, the poor repressed Puritans. I think many of them would die of fright at an Irish wedding! But once over the shock would have an absolute blast.

Granddaughter of an Irish Catholic here, red is an absolute no go for a church wedding unless you want all the elders referring to you as “that harlot”.

Irish here - absolutely fine. Love red to a wedding. Friend wire a full length strapless scarlet dress to my wedding, she was fab. Enjoy it!

Go away out of it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You're very wrong and your link is more than tenuous!

I’m Irish and have been to lots of weddings in Ireland. I think it’s gorgeous OP and not too much at all. I don’t buy into “rules” on colours etc. I think go for it. Gorg.

Granddaughter of an Irish woman really isn’t the badge you think it is and your ‘knowledge’ is absolutely not reflective of contemporary Irish society.

I’m in Ireland and this sort of dress is perfectly fine for a church wedding. We’re not as uptight as the Brits!

I’m guessing those saying otherwise don’t actually live in Ireland. 😂

Exactly

OP, I think it's totally fine for an Irish wedding. My only concern is that you might freeze to death! I would want a fur type jacket over the top

But in England people don’t really get dressed for weddings. Not dressed dressed. In Ireland, people get really dressed. There’s a definite cultural difference.

I think it’s fine.

I'm Irish and I think it's grand. Just need a pashmina to cover your shoulders if you feel it more suitable in the church

Clearly a lot of people who haven’t been to an Irish wedding! I read the thread before looking at the dress and it’s definitely not too revealing or over the top. If anything you could go more form fitting. Colour is perfect, you are way more covered than other guests may be. Fab!

Actual irish catholic here.
Not the case and wont happen.
Wear the guna.

Go for it, it is very nice.

Edited: Sorry, I replied to the wrong poster! Totally in agreement with the person I quoted by mistake!

I am also a size 14 and had two babies back to back, I tried this on recently and the bust was very generous, the bones of the body were really flattering and the trouser part didn't hug my spare tyre!
