Wearing Off White Patterns to Another Wedding

Ivory/cream and whatever other name they use are all in the white family and should not be worn.


I would not consider that to be an ivory because the floral pattern is dominant. You can absolutely wear it to a wedding.

You could wear that one! It’s so dominated by floral anyway

That top has so much color and pattern. You’re fine. It does not look like a wedding dress in any way.

This is totally fine to wear as a guest.

This is a floral dress with a hint of ivory. No one would ever mistake this for a wedding dress, so I think you're fine.

This is fine! It’s perfect for a barn wedding!

That looks totally fine, it’s barely white

That's a floral, not a white dress. You'd be completely appropriate at my wedding, and I'm thinking about posting children with super-soakers full of red kool-aid at my venue just in case

That is fine. There is nothing wrong with wearing white at a wedding. Just not something all white, that looks bridal ( style, cut, fabric.)

It’s a floral dress. Perfectly acceptable 🙂

Or someone in the bride's friend and family group is deranged? If someone else comes in bridal looking white, I would think the bride and her family would show who they are by their classy behavior. Simply pay no attention at all to this wannabe bride, and let everyone else snicker and smirk at them all night.

I'm sure she was joking . . . as indicated by the smirking emoji.

That dress is adorable and perfectly appropriate for a wedding.

View Quoted Comment I was joking lol.

I think you’ll be fine! The dress is dominantly floral anyway

This is totally fine! No one would confuse this for a wedding gown.

This has tons of color and is floral patterned - it's totally fine!!
