Too white for a wedding?

[KookyOliveSwan]

I have 4 weddings to go to this summer, so I’m looking for a dress that I can wear to all of them.
I’ve fallen in love with this one, but is it too white/cream: https://www.theoutnet.com/en-gb/shop/product/zimmermann/dresses/midi-dresses/floral-print-lace-paneled-cotton-voile-midi-dress/46376663162888639

I wouldn’t choose white or cream accessories, and for the church wedding I’d wear a sage coloured jacket with it.

It definitely isn’t bridal, but is it still too white?

It's not white. Very pretty dress and lovely for a wedding.

It’s gorgeous but there are so many thousands of dresses out there to choose from. I would find another one.

Generally, if you need to ask, just don't wear it. There are millions of other dresses and dozens of other colours to choose from.

Why opt for a cream dress for 4 weddings?

I think it’s too white for a wedding.

It's beautiful and perfect for a wedding in my opinion. As long as you have colourful accessories it will be fine.

I think it's fine!

I think it's very nice.

With a sage jacket or a wrap or jacket in another of the pastel colours on the dress you would be absolutely fine in my opinion.

It's beautiful and very suitable for a wedding

I think the colours fine but it’s more holiday attire than wedding. Bit too casual

Maybe because she is spending a lot money and she doesn't want to spend it on something she doesn't love. She loves that dress and it looks very suitable for a summer wedding

Totally fine. People are mad about the white thing. It doesn't look remotely bridal.

Would you spend over £600 on a casual dress?

That's gorgeous and perfect for a wedding. It's beautiful.

Nope. People will slag you off behind your back.

It’s not about looking bridal; I keep seeing that on here from people who don’t understand the rule. How can it be so hard to not wear white or cream to another woman’s wedding?

Absolutely gorgeous - I can't imagine a single person that I know being pissed off at that dress (or any dress) being worn at a wedding? Where does the 'no white/no cream' rule come from because it simply doesn't exist in my region?

I don’t know the origin but I was aware of it in my teens in the 80s in the U.S.

Its not remotely bridal. Especially by the time you have a jacket or wrap and maybe a big old hat on top. Anyone confusing you with a bride would need a trip to Specsavers.

I think it is a bit bridal, especially with the lace. I can see myself wearing something like that as a mature bride at an informal wedding

I don't think it's suitable for a wedding. As do several others on this thread.

The OP doesn't know if all 4 brides will think it's suitable for a wedding, and it's really their opinions that matter. So why spend £600+ for a dress that may indeed not be suitable? I'm sure its not the only dress in the whole world that she likes 🙄

What is the no white "rule" about if not about looking bridal?

I feel like people from the US shouldn't answer these questions because they have such a strict version of 'no white anywhere ever' but will happily wear black to wedding.

Anyway, that is a peach floral dress and nobody will bat an eyelid at that in the UK.

It’s about the colour not the style. I wouldn’t wear a white trouser suit to a wedding. I got married in cream silk suit, dress with a jacket. There was a guest who wore a white dress. It wasn’t bridal in style but it was white. Looking back I think she just didn’t know.

It’s not a self coloured white dress. It’s lovely for a summer wedding just wear colourful accessories

Oh ok. I will show myself out. 😒 But first….did you mean to be so rude??
