This is a gorgeous gown. Our ceremony and reception are both going to be in the afternoon and I am wearing a ball gown. I do not think this is to formal at all. I think you should wear what you really like/love. I think it also covers enough of everything for the church and I think that it would be comfortable to wear in the afternoon for your reception.
Its beautiful! If you love it, go for it! I don't think I've ever heard ANYONE accuse the bride of being too dressed up!
You're SUPPOSE to be dressed up at your wedding! Go for it! :)
It is beautiful... And not too formal at all. The way I see it is it is your wedding, you are supposed to be dressed up and feel beautiful regardless of the time and venue. My mom was trying to convince me that a satin paloma gown would look foolish for a beach wedding and I ended up getting one that I wasnt in love with... Now I have two dresses cause I went back to my gut feeling. Congrats and go for it I say! :)
Who cares! YOU LOVE IT. (: Go for it. It's gorgeous.. I have a problem i love every casablanca dress!
Wear it! I personally don't think the time of the day matters- as long as you love your dress!
Girlfriend - this dress is TO DIE FOR!! GO FOR IT!!! I was worried about having a "too formal" dress for my afternoon/casual outdoor wedding... until my family and friends reminded me, if EVER there was a day to be "too dressy", it's on your wedding!!!
This is my dress! :) I am having an evening winter wedding, but I say go for it!
I'm so excited about seeing someone else with my dress! :)
You love it and that is the most important part. It's a beautiful dress and I think you should go for it!
i think it's perfect for your setting! the back is to die for!!
Wow, thanks for the advice! I think I have my dress! I'm really happy because I'm a two-dress bride (I bought a really cheap Mori Lee gown at a sample sale on impulse and I realized I was more in love with the price than the dress). When I tried this Casablanca dress on, I knew that I really loved it. Then, my sister suggested that the dress might be too formal and that I might look out of place in photos (our bridesmaids are wearing tea-length satin dresses and the fiance is wearing a suit and tie, not a formal tux). But yes, I love this dress, and that's all that matters!
I don't think you can be too dressy on your wedding day! That dress is DIVINE! If you want it, DO IT!!
The dress is beautiful for a catholic church. Love the back!!!
I think it looks great. The most formal time of day until very recently actually was the morning/afternoon so the idea that "afternoon=informal and evening=formal" is not entirely true. Wear whatever you love that looks great on you and don't worry about what other people think.
I don't think formality really matters for the time of day. I think it would be too formal for a beach wedding but a church wedding would be great with that dress! Try to wear your hair up so people can see the back.
I don't think it's too formal at all, this dress is very elegant so it would totally work during the day.
Plus you're the bride, you can be as fancy as you want and it doesn't matter! But I say do it!
Beautiful! And so very unique - I love the back details! So pretty...and I dont think that it would be too formal...if you like it, you like it!!!
I think that's a really pretty dress and I don't think it's too formal for your wedding. I worried that my dress would be too formal, but my mom reminded me that I was the bride--I should be the fanciest person there. ;)
I love it! Very lovely. Somehow it reminds me a tad of Ivanka Trump's gown. She was so gorgeous in it. The back is similar.
Very sleek lines.
I am having a morning wedding too, though not in a church - outdoors. My dress is actually similar to yours, if anything it is more formal! I had the same feeling but I really think it is more important to wear your dream dress than to worry about formality. Besides, it is very common for a bride to wear a long, formal gown with her bridesmaids in tea length dresses and her groom and groomsmen in dark suits. In fact, I think that is more common these days than tuxes and floor length bridesmaids gowns. Don't worry, you will look beautiful!
That dress is so pretty. And, like everyone said you are supposed to be the best dressed. You will look beautiful and it's definately not too formal. Congratulations on finding the perfect dress for you.
I don't think that the dress alone would determine the "tone" of your wedding. I say get the dress. You can always tweak decorations, etc. if you feel you need to. I don't think your FI will look less formal in a suit...as long as the suit is well tailored and not some crazy color you guys will look great.
You know, at first I was worried about my dress being too formal for my event, but I decided that since I loved it, I would just go for it! People are going to be so focused on how beautiful you look they'll never even think about whether you're dressed "too formally" or not.
If you love it, then I say go for it. You only get one chance to wear a white, formal dress!
Oh it's SO pretty! I love it so much. The back is just stunning. I think it's a great dress and so appropriate for getting married in a church - time of day is irrelevant, however if you'd said (as I think MissAB said above) that you'd be getting married on a beach I would have thought twice, personally.

Hi! I went dress shopping the other day, and I fell absolutely in love with a Casa Blanca dress # 1901. I like that it's unique from all the puffy, strapless gowns I usually see. But I wonder if it might be too formal for our morning wedding/afternoon reception. We're having a Catholic church wedding, so I wanted something that was both appropriate for a church setting and can be wearable in the afternoon. My fiance is wearing a black suit and a tie (no tux or vest). Will I look way too formal in this dress? But I really do love it!
