Did I make a wedding guest dress faux pas?

I don't see an issue with this dress.

1. It's not all white and the darker colours really stand out

2. It doesn't look bridal, it looks like a nice summer dress. It's not floor length.

Fine

I think you're good. Cute!

Your fine just dont wear boots like the ones in the picture they look horrible w/ that dress #sorrynotsorry

It's okay.... But as a people pleaser, I always err on the side of caution.

Could you wear a cardigan or cute blazer over it? I think that would be completely fine.

I agree with Faran, you should be ok to wear it, just not with those boots. heh

This dress is fine to wear to a wedding, and really cute! looks nothing like a wedding dress so you are good

ETA: If you purchased at Macy's, you don't need the receipt to return it. They take everything lol

I like the cut, not sure about the color. It kinda looks like you've been attacked by zombies and are dirty and bloody. I'd just be careful, even if you do know your friend you may not know how she'll react in bride mode about the color, maybe just ask her?

@Jeanne, no if everyone said it was inappropriate I wouldn't wear it. I would just save it for the honeymoon since I can't return it. I said I would go buy another dress (and keep this one). I would just rather not spend the money right now since I'm saving for our own wedding. But I don't want to be "that girl" at the wedding.

@Faran, no boots

@Melabella, I'm not sure what the bride is wearing. I don't know her very well. She is marrying my fiance's friend and only recently started to get to know her. Her ceremony is actually the day before and we were just invited to the reception the next day. I don't know if she has one dress or two.

Thanks for the input everyone!

I think you're good. Cute dress too!

Just use burgundy or green accessories and shoes.

I think it's fine, the pops of color draw you away from the actual cream.

Super cute!

Your fine.

How well do you know the bride? I wouldn't have cared but I have a friend who most definitely would!

Oh well if it's for the reception the next day, I think it's fine. I don't know why that makes it different but I feel like it does. I feel like for an event separate from the ceremony (like the shower or engagement party or whatever) the white rule doesn't really matter as much.

I think it's fine, but I would ask myself, "What kind of bride has my friend been?" If she's been completely stressing over every detail, then pick something else and save this for later. If she's a "Whatever-- as long as we're married at the end" type, then I'm sure you're fine.

I'm with Trisha. I am a people please and tend to err on the side of caution. On the off chance it would offend the bride (which there is a chance or you wouldn't be asking, right?) then I would not wear it.

I think it's totally fine. It's not bridal at all and there are other colors besides cream. I wouldn't hesitate to wear it, especially because you love it.

The people who reviewed the dress on macys website wore to weddings too..you'll be fine..they didnt mention getting stink eye.
