Too formal for rehearsal?

I got this Lulus dress second hand but brand new for $25 and I was going to wear it to the rehearsal and rehearsal lunch (seated multi-course meal) but I’m worried it’s too fancy.
I love the dress and I love how it hugs my figure (especially because my wedding dress is A-line) but I don’t want to be overdressed. The rehearsal is outdoors mid-day at the venue.

Thoughts?

    It’s beautiful.
    Dress how you want! Although I would recommend doing the rehearsal in shoes similar to your wedding shoes if at all possible.
    And if someone says it’s too fancy, ignore them. You look awesome!

    I think it’s pretty!! Hmmm It does seem kind of formal for a midday rehearsal Meal but to be honest I feel like it’s fine to just wear it

    It’s perfect and not too dressy! But, you’re the bride so you can totally be fancy anyway 😄

    I’d wear it! You look great and it wouldn’t at all be weird/wrong if you stuck out a little from your guests. Go for it! 😊

    You’re the bride, there is no such thing as too formal.

    Put on some casual sandals with a heel to dress it down a bit. Maybe wear a colorful necklace or earrings to dress it down further.

    It would be too much for someone else’s rehearsal dinner but you are the bride, you should be dressed up! It’s pretty
