I think it depends on the bride. Some brides might not like the idea, and others would be fine with it since there are other colors/pattern on it. If it were me, I wouldn't wear it because it's long and the majority of the dress is white (just my opinion!). I think you are doing the right thing by asking the bride, because she might be cool with it, and it's def very thoughtful of you to get the ok from her first.
I personally wouldnt wear it to a wedding. I love the dress though. I have so many problems with the etiquette on what to wear and what not to wear to a wedding. I think in cases like this you should just steer clear of white completely. I am having a hard time finding something to wear to a black tie summer wedding I am going to, so let me know what you decide on!! good luck
I love the dress, where did u find it, would love to wear it to my rehearsal dinner. As for wearing it to a wedding I think it would be fine, checking with the bride is the right thing
I probably wouldn't wear it just because it's mostly white but like others said - it depends on the bride. I think if you did wear it you could tone-down the white by wearing a yellow or red short sleeved cartigan over it - since the top is the part that has the most white.
There is a lot of white. I think it's best to stick to the rule of if you have to question it...it's best to wear it somewhere else. I also don't know that I would ask her, unless the two of you are really close. If she says yes that she has a problem, then she probably comes off a little controlling. Or she may say no just to avoid an awkward situation.
So personally, I would keep looking. There are lots of cute dresses out there without white as a primary color!
I think it depends on the attitude of the bride. I wouldn't mind it, but I know a lot of girls would. My basic rule on this is if you have to ask, don't do it!
I don't think it's too white at all! It's not like it looks at all like a wedding gown. It's very pretty.
I think anytime you have to ask whether or not something is acceptable to wear then its probably not. I would err on the side of caution and save the dress for a different occasions. While it is a gorgeous dress you just dont know how the bride will react.
If you put a little red or other bright shrug or cardigan over it I think it'd be fine!
I wouldn't do it! Is too risky... what if the bride thinks is too white? DRAMA*
I think its perfect.. I know im like going against the flow here.. but i really do think its perfect.. its summer and you are supposed to wear something very light.. Unless you know that the bride is too sensitive than i would not risk it.. but if shes not.. i think you are good to go
Um, I read your post and instantly thought that would be perfect for a summer wedding. Not until I read the white part did I think og that as a white dress. I think it's a very pretty dress and not too white at all. I would wear it and never think to ask the bride, especially to a summer wedding. I'm personally, pretty shocked that most PPs are of the opinion that it is too white though so I guess checking with the bride would be your best bet to avoid drama.
I was thinking the same thing slicey19 said. I didn't think it was too white, especially if you wear a brightly colored sweater with it (so cute!). If it were my wedding, I wouldn't be offended, but I suppose checking with the bride couldn't hurt seeing as how so many people on here say it's not appropriate.
Mostly white AND full length.
I wouldn't. If you check with the bride, it puts her in an awkward spot, too. If she says "yes", she may do so reluctantly so she doesn't feel like she's being uptight about it. If she says no, she may come across as uptight, haha. If you have to ask, it's better to be safe and wear something else. But heck, buy it anyways and wear it out! It's really cute!
I wouldnt mind if someone wore that to my wedding. But im not a fussy bride :)
No, No, No.... too white. Especially since it's long.....
And, I'm going to go against a few people and DO NOT ASK THE BRIDE! That puts her is such a bad position! Sure, maybe she will legitimately say yes, go for it.... but, she also may say yes but not want to... and despise you without you knowing... or, she may say no but feel really really bad about it.
Bottom line, is it's not fair to put that on the bride. If you have to question, it's a no. In this case, it's an amazing dress, but not for a guest to a wedding. Perhaps save it for your own wedding events?
It's fine and lovely! I think you should wear it; you'll certainly be able to get use out of it after. Yes, there is white in the dress, but I would not call that a white dress. It doesn't look bridal (to me at least), and I would not think twice if someone wore that to my wedding.
It's a beautiful dress, but totally inappropriate for a wedding because white is the main backgroun color (even though there are a number of flowers on it).
Just remember, if you have a doubt about it not being appropriate, it probably isn't.
Also, DON'T ASK THE BRIDE!!!! This then puts her in a very awkward position of having to either say yes, she doesn't want you to wear it or being nice about it and saying, no it's ok, where white on my wedding day... when she really doesn't want you to wear it but doesn't want to cause a problem.
I wouldn't be upset by it (only thing that upsets me is SOLID white) but I would check with the bride just to be sure. If you're not that close with her (distant cousin, or FI's friend, etc) then she prob would feel obliged to tell you "it's fine" so I would be on the safe side and not wear it.
If I was the bride I'd say go for it, though!
I suppose it really depends on the bride. I certainly wouldn't have been bothered if someone wore that to my wedding. To be honest, I doubt I would even have noticed it much. I remember my friends all looked good, but if you asked me the next day what they had been wearing, I couldn't have said much more than ... "uh, dresses, I think". But I wouldn't say I'm a typical bride, either. People who are probably more up on wedding etiquette than me seem rather horrified, so I guess there is the risk of a faux pas, here. If you're in any doubt, you probably shouldn't chance it.
I wouldn't wear it, and I definitely wouldn't ask the bride about it. If you have to ask, you should just wear something else. There are plenty of dresses out there :)

Hi im going to a summer wedding and i love this dress.
Back
Front
But iv read about the no white dress rule, so i thought id better ask your opinons!!!
Is it to white? or does the bright colours through out make it ok?
Im think of teamming it up with a navy clutch or deep purple, so it puts in more colour to the outfit and also coloured shoes and silver jewllery (bracelet and ring)
I am going to ask the bride what she thinks and if shes happy for me to wear a dress with white on it.
its quite expensive so i want opinons before i buy it.
Thanx For Reading
Help appreciated
