i think its fine because it doesnt look "bridal"
It's almost all white. There are a ton of cute dresses out there that are great colors - i'd keep looking!
I didn't vote because there wasn't a radio button for "yes, it's ok to wear but I don't care about the no person other than the bride wearing white". Some would probably say it's too white but I don't see the reason behind that rule.
I wouldn't freak if someone wore it to my wedding, but if it isn't a dress you already own, why not purchase something that isn't even questionably taboo?
You know the bride best, so I think you already know the answer. It probably wouldn't bother me, but usually if you have to ask, it probably isn't okay.
It is too white. And I agree with noritake22 if you have to ask it's probably not okay...
Thanks everyone.
I do already own the dress. Just interested in other opinions since I never really payed attention to the "white" rule until I started planning my own wedding and became aware of it.
In my opinion, it's not too white. (also, it's adorable!) I don't really understand the "don't wear white" rule. As long as you're not wearing a floor-length satin ballgown & carrying a bouquet, I'm pretty sure you'll stand out from the bride. :)
Depends? What kind of event is it? If someone wears something like that to mine I'd be like "okay?" just because I'm already just wearing a short white dress, not a gown for our more casual wedding.
I voted "it's too white", but maybe if you punch it up with some colorful accessories you could get away with it.
I personally wouldn't be offended by another guest wearing white, so I think it's okay. But, if I were you, I'd wear a wide black belt with it, and black shoes. That way, nobody can accuse you of looking too bridal.
If you break up the colors by adding a belt, you can probably get away with it. I tend to stay away from any white at all at weddings though. You never know what a brides reaction will be, even if you know the bride well. So if you're hesitant, don't get it. Its super cute though, so maybe you should just get it and wear it somewhere else!
It wouldn't bother me, but it can't hurt to ask the bride. She'll probably appreciate that you asked! My cousin's fiance has a lot of white and she texted a picture to me to check that I wouldn't mind it. I thought it was a sweet gesture.
Too white! Some brides can be really sensitive about this, and I wouldn't want to risk it.
I think it is a cute dress but I agree with some of the others who said, there are so many choices out there, unless you are in a bind and this is the only thing you have, I'd go with something that isn't white.
It wouldn't bother me if somebody wore that, but it is almost completely white, so its safer not to wear it. If you know the bride well and are sure she wouldn't care, then go for it, but if it were me I wouldn't risk it.
Besides possibly upsetting the bride, you may have other guests looking at you whispering "I can't believe she wore white to the wedding".
Nope - too white. And I totally agree with Noritake and Jenn20 . . if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't, and other guests may notice, too.
I probably wouldn't wear it. It's super cute, but even with colorful accesories, there are just so many other pretty colors out there, why even mess with white? I also totally agree with Jennifer20 - the last thing you want is other guests whispering and wondering. You clearly don't want to take any attention from the bride, and even if she's ok with it, there might be more conservative guests looking at you and trying to guess if there's something going on...
I think that it's really cute, and the bride will probably not have an issue with it.
However, I feel like if you have to ask "is this too white?" or "is this appropriate?" other guests might ask those same things when they see you wearing it.
It looks like a top with a cream skirt. I don't think that it's too white. To really avoid an issue I would wear it with a coloured belt and shoes like other people suggested. It's not an all white dress, it shouldn't be a problem! :) I really don't understand why someone would get upset because someone wore a white top. A full white outfit, not such a good idea, but it's just part of an outfit and I think getting upset over that is just silly.
Is it a really, really casual wedding? I don't know, it just seems a little too business casual for me, like something that I would wear to work in the spring/summertime. Maybe if you added a colorful belt and heels? It would make it more fun and add some color to it.
i don't really care about the "white rule" and think that dress is absolutely adorable. but i'm sure you have so many other cute dresses, i would just go the safe route and not wear it... just so you odn't have to deal with nasty looks from those who do think it's "too white"
I really don't see anything wrong with that dress. It doesn't look like anything remotely wedding gownish. I would wear it in a heartbeat.
I don't think it looks especially bridal and it's not super-showy or anything; I think you're fine.
I think that with colorful accessories it would probably be okay. Think... beads, shoes, belt, purse, wrap or hat!
I think it would be okay to wear (I wouldn't be offended).
I personally wouldn't care, but other bride(zilla)s might freak out 
I think it's fine, I wouldn't be mad if someone wore it to my wedding. It doesn't look at all like a wedding gown, yes it's partially white but that's it. I don't really care too much about the don't wear white rule though I know some girls do.
