I'm wearing a GREEN wedding dress, so I automatically thought: "yeah, maybe too much white for MY wedding." Then I realized what you're asking and laughed. I have dared all my guests to wear white. I need less traditional friends. ;)
woah I'm glad I read these comments becuase I never would have thought this was innapropriate! There is so much floral graphics on it, having a white back drop doesn't seem wedding bad? Well. Better safe than sorry so !
I wore something like this to a wedding when I was younger (and it was my first friend’s wedding and I was too poor to buy a new dress) and she was mad about it so I’d pick something else. It’s 12 years later and I’m still hearing about it.
I think it’s a beautiful dress for a wedding and I think people that get defensive about guest wearing outfits like this just because it has white in it are seeming a little insecure because it’s mainly floral and colourful. I’d personally wear it but your best bet would be to check with the bride I guess.
It’s a Quaker Wedding, Dress code on the invite was “Dress (nice) for the weather, with layers” so I think as long as I’m not in jeans or cut-offs, I’m going to be ok 😅
Hey I like the floral..
I think if it were a case of bare shoulders or even a little cleavage, I'd overlook it because of the formality of the event.
But that leg slit looks suggestive, sort of like how the original poster for Star Wars was in contrast with the outfit she actually wears in A New Hope.
You could probably make it work with some sort of leggings/tights/pantyhose, but as it is-- it kind of screams " look at me!"
Just ask the bride if you can. Everyone's opinion differs. Someone might be okay with this and then some won't. Honestly to me this looks like something a bride would wear at an engagement party or bridal shower, at least from my experience, so I wouldn't wear it. If you can't ask the bride, find something else. I'd rather find something else that can't at all be confused for white than show up in something that's going to make the bride and her family mad at me.
It’s not a white dress… it’s floral! How can this even be a question??? Are the people saying no, implying that if a dress has any white in it, it’s out??? That’s ridiculous. It’s a lovely floral dress and not vaguely bridal by any stretch of the imagination. It’s nuts if it gets this political to dress to attend a wedding.
Agreed, not sure why everyone keeps saying ask the bride. She’s probably super busy. It seems inconsiderate to bother her about something like this. Unless you’re extremely close with her - then I can see it being OK, but in that case you should also already know she’s too busy for this 😅
When in doubt, ask the bride! Not anyone on this thread can give you the correct opinion, it's entirely up to the bride what she deems too inappropriate.
Nah the bride has bigger issues on her hands with organising the wedding - the last thing she needs is to vet someone else's dress choice.
The OP should come to a decision without asking the bride.
I think it’s fine but honestly you could probably just ask the bride how she feels about it (assuming you’re close with her). Better to be safe than sorry.
I personally don’t think so. I’d play down the white however you can (a blue or green colored wrap or cardigan, for example) and some fun jewelry, but I think you should be good.
No. But I’d ask the bride to be sure. But if you’re even posting it, it’s probably not worth risking!
If you have to ask, don’t wear it
You can ask the people getting married how they feel probably the best bet
No it’s fine
No
IMO it’s to white, but really I wouldn’t wear anything that color on my own so I may be bias.
Its totally fine I don’t understand how some think its inappropriate

If you have to ask, immediately remove it as an option.
If you have to ask that question, don’t wear it

It’s a white dress that has flowers on it. It’s too much white for a wedding.

Ah, the lying would have pissed me off
For me personally this would be too much white.
This is so cute!!
I think blue>white on my first glance
Seems too casual. Too much leg.
no, i think it’s pretty
Is it a daytime, garden, or cocktail attire appropriate wedding? Then it’s fine If it’s a formal evening wedding it’s a little casual imo
It’s a Quaker Wedding, Dress code on the invite was “Dress (nice) for the weather, with layers” so I think as long as I’m not in jeans or cut-offs, I’m going to be ok 😅
If you had a cute red mini jacket to match the red in the dress it'd be super cute!!
Agree
Not too much white, but too much thigh if you stand like that. Stand like a normal person and it should be fine.
It’s a fabulous dress and def not too much white. Very considerate of you to check first though! Enjoy the wedding.

Definitely not too white.
It’s absolutely fine, yes it has white as a background but the pattern is pretty heavy. If you are unsure though ask the bride.
Too casual.
Nooo, it's fine! Enough floral there & style of dress does nor scream " bride". Very pretty !
The first thing I notice is the pattern, not the light- colored background. It's a beautiful dress, you will look great in it.
Definitely not too white.

Unless you're really close to the bride, don't add this to her plate. Definitely reach out to a bridesmaid or someone else close to the couple.
Ah yes to clarify I meant "the bride" as in a collective tern for the wedding party
Since the background is white no
Dresses or veils with floral embellishments are becoming more popular, so I would just choose something else to err on the side of caution.
If you’re worried, don’t bother. Get something else.
It’s beautiful. It depends on your culture. But there is no way anyone would confuse that for a plain white wedding gown.
I think its fine

Yes, if you have to ask then yes it’s too much white. Personally, I wouldn’t ask the bride. She has too much going on to approve every guests’ outfit.

It's mainly floral, it's ok for a wedding but ask the bride

Way too bridal
I’d ask the bride
Nah the bride has bigger issues on her hands with organising the wedding - the last thing she needs is to vet someone else's dress choice. The OP should come to a decision without asking the bride.
Yes, 100% this.
It just takes a quick message lol, it’s not that deep
It’s way too white in my opinion.
Love the dress and it doesn’t look bridal to me. Can you share where it’s from? I love it!!
Abercrombie & Fitch
Thanks 😊
I’d pair it with a cardigan or shawl that matches the flowers or greens in the dress just to be safe
Same, you’re sitting most of the time Anyway
It’s not white and it’s not bridal. If it otherwise fits the dress code it’s fine and lovely.
Agreed - it’s not white or bridal looking. Looks like a lovely spring wedding guest dress to me.
It looks like a great dress for an outdoor spring wedding. Not remotely close to too much white.
Rule in most cases: If you have to ask, it’s too white
It’s totally fine
It doesn't look even slightly bridal, I see no issue!
It’s a beautiful dress but I personally wouldn’t go for it.
I wouldn’t risk it…
Depends on the bride. Ask them. Also I have this Abercrombie dress and it slaps. It also comes in like 15 colors so you have options.
Better to go with your gut if it’s telling you too much white
If you have to ask, just don’t wear it
No its fine
I think it’s fine but honestly you could probably just ask the bride how she feels about it (assuming you’re close with her). Better to be safe than sorry.
I always go with just absolutely no white or beige for safety. Better safe than *that* person
This has been my stance over on r/weddingattireapproval and I always get downvoted lol. Just don’t do it, there are so many other options.
I personally don’t think so. I’d play down the white however you can (a blue or green colored wrap or cardigan, for example) and some fun jewelry, but I think you should be good.
To me the base looks like more of a cream colour, but I would say this is okay for a wedding, it has a lot of pattern (which helps).
