Should I wear this dress to a wedding?

[Deuce]

It's a good dress, but it appears white in pictures and like twalla said, r.o.t. avoid white dresses at someone else's wedding, even if its more beige it'll look white in the pictures they get back from the photographer unless you're standing right next to here. You can always shoot the pics to the bride and see what she says, you never know what might offend someone till you ask. I know people say it's easier to beg for forgiveness then to ask for permission but when it comes to weddings...well, ever see 'Bridezilla'?

**Yikes, by "here" I meant her...

I have to respectfully disagree about the "whiteness" of the dress. With those stripes, NO ONE is going to mistake the wearer for the bride.

And I agree with what someone else said....that is a hard dress to look good in with the horizontal stripes, but you look BEAUTIFUL in it! IMO, go ahead and wear it, especially if it is comfortable and you feel confident in it.

Idk, wedding dresses have gotten crazy these days, lol. I've seen a wedding which the bride wore a hot pink dress! Again, I'd say ask the bride, or at least the maid of honor, they'll have better insight and can tell you for sure if it'll be too dressy or not dressy enough.

Yes, I agree with you the white rule was so that people wouldn't confuse you with the bride. You are allowed to have white in the dress, just not an all white dress or even an all off-white dress.

I think the dress is adorable. I wouldn't worry about the white stripes unless the bride is a real Bridezilla. I think it would look adorable with patent black peep-toes for an evening wedding.

I like it, It looks quite nautical which is in fashion at the moment

Stunning dress, you look beautiful in it I'd do a strappy sandal, black for evening. Or consider adding a pair of colored "strappy" heels, earring and a clutch for a summertime touch Enjoy the wedding

That is also what I have always thought. I have worn dresses with white in them to weddings, just not a solid white dress.

OP, I think the dress is very beautiful and you look amazing in it. I say wear it with black open-toed heels. I think I would stay keep my shoes simple since the dress is busy with the stripes.

Thanks so much everyone for the input. The bride is a kindergarden teacher, total sweetheart and the furthest thing from a Bridezilla lol!
I sent the pictures to my boyfriends sister and she said she thinks I should definitely wear it, so I think I will.

I'll have to go shoe shopping soon, and I'll let you know what shoes I wear

[MaddieBoo]

So I went shoe shopping today! Here's a picture. What do you guys think?

Also! What about jewelry? I rarely wear any at all so that really confuses me

Okay you say church wedding. Get a gauzy small shawl to cover your shoulders for the church. Jewellry is minimal with that dress, the stripes are a major statement in and of themselves. Are you wearing your hair down, or pulled up and back? If up and back, try a textured stud earring of appropriate size, you could accent either the cream or the black. if down no earrings. If up and back with earrings no bangle.
I would wear a bangle type of bracelet on one arm.

What you could do is forget earrings and or bracelet and wear an ankle bracelet, with those shoes. ooo la la
