Another is this dress too white for a wedding.

[KickboxingWanker]

Is this ok for a wedding? My heart is saying yes but head is saying no.

I’m going to a wedding in August, the wedding is at a country hotel not a church and my DH is a friend of the groom.

is it too much white? If it’s ok what accessories would you wear?
money is a bit tight atm which is why I’m looking at Vinted.

I say there are a million other colours and it's an unnecessary niggle on the day so yes, it's too white.

Too white too empire

it's lovely and I'm sure no one is going to mix you up with the bride.

If you have to ask, don't do it.

Completely fine like all the others on here that have asked the same questions.

But you'll get loads of people telling you it's utterly unacceptable and loads saying it's fine so it's pointless asking.

The fact people need to ask this question suggests people know the answer really but are hoping enough people will come along to say "it's fine".

There are so many colours to choose from. Why go for anything that is predominantly white?

Easiest solution has always "if it's at least 50% white, don't wear it for a wedding".

I agree - you could put an actual wedding dress up on here and you'd get people saying it is fine and "nobody will confuse you with the bride" or you could put up a pink dress with a few tiny white flowers and someone would say "too much white".

But, I do think, since you needed to ask you may not feel 100% comfortable in it, so I would keep looking. There is nothing worse than feeling awkward at the wedding of people you barely know

Yes

You’ll get loads of people saying if you have to ask.. blah, blah. And loads of people like me saying it’s fine. You know the bride, venue, type of wedding, etc. With the right accessories - I’d go shades of green - that it will look lovely.

This dress is sold as an actual wedding dress. Imagine if you were stood next to the bride in the photographs. This is the problem with wearing a white dress as a guest now.

I don't get all this modern day fuss about perfectly acceptable floral summer events dresses at weddings. That one isn't remotely bridal and has bloody massive pink flowers on it. Stick to pink accessories and absolutely nobody will mistake you for the bride.

Thanks all, bit mixed but yes I know it’s too white really I just liked it and thought it was a bargain.

I suit empire line dresses has anyone seen anything else they could recommend?

Doesn't look anything like a wedding dress.It's fine.

The thing with S & B is if there's one speck of white on a summer dress it's classed as too white for a wedding guest.

It’s not nice enough to risk upsetting someone. Pick another because why risk it.

Is the bride a bridezilla?

Have a look on Yumi
Apricot dresses at Debenhams or new look.

Either of these any good?

I don't think it's so much being mistaken for the bride as taking away attention from the bride, which op's dress really wouldn't. Did anyone see pics of the recent Kenya Kinski-Jones-Will Peltz wedding (no, I had no idea who they were either but I've obviously clicked on Vogue weddings once too often and now this is my life). The MOG walked the groom down the aisle in a strapless skintight black sequin dress, which if I were the bride would have pissed me off more than if she'd worn a cream MOB type suit and hat. Or remember when Liz Hurley went to her ex's wedding in a red dress that split to reveal her sparkly gold pants? She was all over the tabloids the next day with the actual bride and groom in a little picture in the corner.I know normal weddings are different as most brides aren't concerned with who is going to get the most paparazzi pics/column inches but I think the principal is the same.

OP, as a rule of thumb, if you have to ask, it’s too white! There are many lovely dresses that don’t have a white background - choose one of them.

I think if you choose a wedding dress with that much floral design on it that it looks like a guest dress you have to be ok with some guests potentially wearing similar.
