Too White for a Wedding Guest?

Larry, on February 23, 2018 at 2:14 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 28
Everyone knows you don’t wear white to someone else’s wedding. But when you pick out a dress that has white in it, things get tricky...

I found this dress and love it! I wanted to wear it to my friend’s wedding, but I am getting nervous it might contain too much white (as pointed out by some friends of mine). What do you all think??

    I don't think that's too much white. I think that is fine.

    I think you’ll be fine. I’ve never heard that you can’t wear a dress to a wedding if “it has too much white in it”. No one is going to look past the design and other colors of the dress and go “well, geez, she could have picked a dress with less white in it so we don’t confuse her with the bride”. Wear the dress.

    I don’t see anything wrong with the color and it’s a really nice dress! I think as long as the dress color is not part of the color scheme you should be fine Smiley smile

    I wouldn’t look at it and be like it’s a “white” dress. I think it’s fine.

    It's fine. There are always people who could completely overboard and say" It's one day. Can't you find one dress without white in it?" That opinion goes too far.

    This dress reads as a blue dress.

    Other than wearing an all white dress (which bothers a lot of people), you're fine. Frankly, I think making a big deal over someone wearing an all white dress to a wedding is silly. I didn't even wear white to my own wedding - LOL.

    While there is white in the dress, I would not consider this a "white" dress. It's fine.

    Absolutely nothing wrong with wearing that dress to a wedding. Doesn't look bridal at all.

    I wore a white dress with orange and blue floral design in it to a wedding last summer and got compliments on it even. This dress is beautiful and perfectly acceptable

    It's fine. It's beautiful. Everyone knows who the bride is. Buy the dress and enjoy the day.

    If it were all white, or mostly white, then no. That dress is mostly blue, IMO, so it's fine.

    I think that is a beautiful dress and has more blue than white. If anything the white is the decoration accenting the blue. I think this would be perfect for a wedding guest.
