Is the dress on the left too white for a wedding?

[Jennytappin]

I sent my SIL a photo of my dress on the left, and she said she thinks it’s too much white.

her dress is on the right. When I asked hasn’t hers got white in it too, she said hers is all blue.

are the two dresses a lot different? Is the one on the left a lot more “inappropriate” than the one on right?

Hers is much whiter than yours...

Right is worse. I’d say both are a no. There are so many colours, just pick a different one.

She said it’s “all blue” though? When I zoomed in I guess it has a very very light shade of blue? But I mean hers has more white patches

I had to read your post three times to be sure but her dress has much more white than yours unless you've mixed the pictures up?

Both dresses are absolutely fine.

@Spies nope I’m the one wearing the dress. I think she just doesn’t want me wearing the dress. She said her one is all blue so I’m wondering if in real life it has a very very pale blue to it, but that’s being generous.

They are both clearly not fully white and wouldn’t be mistaken for a bride

Does your SIL just not want you in similar dresses 😂😂

It certainly doesn't look blue. I suspect you're right on that she actually doesn't want you to wear such a similar dress to her. I'd change dresses to avoid a fall out.

It’s not about being mistaken for the bride! It’s one day, just choose a different bloody colour to wear.

I'd be more bothered about looking like a 'not quite matching' pair than the whiteness of either of them. They're both fine to wear to a wedding, but maybe not to the same wedding.

Unless the bride is wearing a white dress with bright blue flowers all over it I think you'll both be fine

This. I have no idea why people think that this kind of dress is not okay for a wedding it is perfect.

Both fine
She probably doesn’t want you to also wear blue floral

I don’t get this thing with white dresses. I mean sure… turning up in a floor length white gown might be a bit much but no sane person would think you were trying to outshine the bride or steal her spotlight in that dress. It’s a lovely dress and you look great in it (assuming that’s you) but it not bridal.
Unless you know the bride is a going to lose her mind, but actually even then I’d still wear the dress 🤣

She clearly doesn't want you wearing a similar dress. I prefer yours as its less white although I think a white dress with flowers is perfectly fine for a wedding. Very clearly not trying to be seen in white and as the bride.

What is about then? Is it a superstition?

They're both absolutely fine.

Unless you're concerned some guests will turn up rip roaring drunk and mistake you both for the bride?

Neither are good choices, what else have you got a choice of?

Her dress looks pale blue to me. Whereas yours is white. Either way, both look fine to me. Both pretty dresses and suitable for a summer wedding.

None are remotely bridal, but i still think it is best to avoid white. I wouldn't care by the way, but some brides might.

I also suspect your SIL just doesnt want you to wear a dress similar to what she has so she is trying to talk you out of it. I would probably get something different as I wouldn't want to look too similar to someone else anyway.

Both are fine but I would team them with blue shoes/accessories rather than white

Its a bit similar to hers OP, she might be feeling a bit insecure about you upstaging her rather than the bride? I'd go for something else - although it is a gorgeous dress, and you look lovely in it.

They are both ok. If they were plain white it would be a problem, but a floral pattern is fine.

They are both okay

Both dresses are fine. Hers has a blue background though.
