Can I wear this dress as a guest of a wedding?

I am going to a wedding at the end of May and I just bought this dress that i LOVE at White House Black Market. The only problem is that it has a lot of white in it... but also black. I am just afraid to offend the bride, even thought it CLEARLY is not a wedding dress. What do you think, can I wear this dress or not? I really would like some comments!

Usually with this question, I say, if you have to ask don't do it. But, I think this dress is really cute and not inapproproate. The larger black print definitely helps!

Cute dress! Totally wedding guest appropriate (though my mom would say not since black is not allowed at chinese weddings....I tried to have black and white bridesmaid dresses...she nearly had a heart attack.)

I think it's totally fine. It's not like it's all white with a little black detail--it actually has a lot of black. And, it's super cute. You'll be fine to wear it, but it's also super nice of you to be so considerate to pause and think about it! :-)

What time of the day is the wedding? I always think it looks a little weird when people where black during the day... but that's just me. Either way, I think it's totally fine.
