Suitable wedding guest dress?

In my opinion, no it isn't x

It's a lovely dress, but IMHO it's a no go for a wedding. I'm one of these people that thinks white/ivory should only be worn by the bride. Sorry!

I would ask the bride before turning up in a ivory dress.

Personally if someone turned up to my wedding in a all ivory or white dress I would be fuming because u can guarantee people will gossip about it (plus I am a little bridezilla when it comes to ivory and white dresses at peoples weddings)

I like it but I think you'd need to wear a jacket to make it look less weddingy. It's a bit too much like a wedding dress.

I wouldn't mind at all if someone wore that to our wedding, but I do think a lot of brides/couples would have an issue with a seemingly white lacy dress being worn to their wedding by a guest.

Better to be on the safe side I think and avoid it.

I thought I'd best get other opinions. We're getting married next year and i'm firmly in the 'do not care what people wear as long as they are happy and smart' camp. I was planning to get a big necklace and dusky pink shoes, bag and wrap to inject some colour. I don't think the bride will care at all, she wore a white mini dress herself to a wedding we went to last year but i wouldn't want to offend older family.

Doesn't look anything like a wedding dress to me and given you're injecting colour too, i say go for it!!!

Pretty dress! I think it will look nice with pops of colour. I've got a wedding tomorrow to attend and I have nothing to wear ? I don't want to wear white or the colour that they have got. But saying that when we get married I doubt I would care/even notice what people are wearing and be too busy enjoying the day.

I like the dress but personally wouldn't wear it to a wedding. Even if the bride wore white to someone else's wedding. People are quick to be offended by these things.

I have no clue what most people wore to my wedding, but I know a friend of mine was extremely offended when someone turned up in a white maxi dress and big chunky necklace at her wedding. THe girl wore a colourful jacket and there were some blingy bits on the dress but my friend was furious.

Best not to offend i guess...

It's a nice dress, but I wouldn't wear it to someone else's wedding.

Personally if it was my wedding I wouldn't care, in fact one of my work colleagues wore a white dress to my wedding. However even if the bride/groom are fine with it there will always be a snooty guest turning their noses up about what is and is not appropriate. So I wouldn't wear one as a guest for that reason.

I'd love to know what right guests have to judge other guests. it really bugs me. my aunt apologised for her 36 year old daughter wearing a white and beige dress to my wedding. a. i hadn't noticed, and b. it's not your place to 'apologise' for her, because tbh it just comes across as judgemental >_<

once i was aware it didn't bother me in the slightest. i was wearing a full lace wedding gown, she was in a white chiffon topped, beige skirted dress. no-one was going to mistake her for me!

who died and made the other guests judge and jury???

the only time i've ever passed comment on something another person is wearing to a wedding is when my other cousin turned up to a wedding in floral leggings and a football shirt, but even then i didn't *** behind her back on the day, i've mentioned her as an example of surprising outfits on forums, but i didn't say a word on the day- the bride and groom didn't mind, so why should i???

*rant over*

It's lovely but no I wouldn't wear it too a wedding xx

Tis the old folk and the 'not the done thing' brigade isn't it?

Personally I wouldn't give a flying fig what anyone wore to my wedding but I would avoid white as a guest lest I offend someone. It bullcrap I could do without. Gorgeous dress though.

It's a lovely dress. I personally don't get the whole guest shouldn't wear white to wedding thing, seems a bit nit picky to me. A couple of people wore white to our wedding, I didnt even notice on the day - only noticed in the photos when I looked back after reading this post and they both looked lovely. The older people at my wedding also weren't bothered by it (by older I do mean grandparents etc), everyone was far too busy having a good time to worry about what people were wearing. Lovely dress, but if there is any chance you think a member of the wedding party are going to get someone being offended by it then unfortunately I would say don't wear it.

Its stunning but I don't think I would wear it to a wedding. I've got a white based dress with blue and pink flowers for a wedding next weekend and I'm still a bit worried about offending, I've just bought a pink pashmina to inject some colour.

This is a fair point though! If the bride would be OK with it, then I might consider it.

Just to echo some other people on here, check with the bride.

A lot of people have voiced concerns about the older generation being offended.. Well my Grandma wore a white dress suit to my mums second wedding! Could easily have looking like an older bride herself in the right situation (i.e. not next to a bride in a meringue!)

No no no lol

Hmm that's a tough one. The dress is lovely, and I can't say I'd have been bothered if someone had worn it to my wedding as I don't think it looks bridal, BUT wearing white/ivory to a wedding isn't the done thing and you'd potentially p*ss people off.

The fact you are asking for opinions shows you have doubts about it. I say that because it is white and if you had picked a blue dress or any other colour you wouldn't be asking. I personally wouldn't wear white to someone elses wedding,it is the one time in a brides life when she should be the centre of attention and although the style is not bridal i assume you don't know what the wedding dress will look like. The bride may have chosen something no traditional and could be similar to the style of that dress (i doubt it but a possibility!)

Considering you say the wedding is this summer, you have time to look for something in a different colour.

It is a beautiful dress though, really like it!

I would say no to it.

I'm in the camp of the bride in white/ivory only.

I don't want others wearing white to my wedding, but of course different strokes for different folks. I would check with your friend so see if she would be bothered.

Its a lovely dress, but personally i wouldn't wear it to a wedding. Its the same style that my mum is wearing for my wedding, plus the colour would put me off. BUT like everyone else i'd say check with the couple as they might not care, especially if you're adding colour.

I'd ask the bride, if she's happy with you wearing it then who gives a stuff what anyone else says. With an injection of colour I don't see a problem with it. I couldn't care less if everyone of my guests turned up in white I didn't buy the dress because of the colour.

this is perfect bliss! i LOVE this!

Oooh it's a gorgeous dress! If you're worried, I would check with the bride just to put your mind at rest.
