Nakia Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 My baby brother is getting married in August. :001_wub: I bought a dress last summer that I've only worn once, and I would like to wear it to the wedding. My best friend says "no way, too much white", but my SIL says she thinks it will be perfect. Here is a pic: Tell me what you think!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Will you have a wrap of some kind? I think it would be perfect with a black or yellow wrap. It's not solid white or something and Summer weddings make light colors and white backgrounds inevitable. It has a yellow sweater that goes with it.

Denisemomof4 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I think it would be perfectly fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4kiddies Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 i think it is perfect, especially with the yellow sweater. In fact I have the same pattern in a skirt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisasaysto Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Yep, that's a pretty print and perfect for a summer wedding, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickelfritz Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I wouldn't think twice about wearing it and the yellow sweater means I really wouldn't think twice about wearing it. I think it's unrealistic to say that you can't have any white on your dress. That's a far cry from wearing an all white dress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlockOfSillies Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I don't think anyone will be mistaking you for the bride, or thinking that you're trying to steal the bride's thunder in that dress. It's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 If you want to be *really* sure, ask your future SIL. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks so much!!! And Brenda, that is exactly what I said. The bride is 10 years younger, 50 lbs lighter, and will be wearing a veil. I don't think there will be any problems! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Yes, especially with the yellow sweater, if that wouldn't be too warm. But I don't think there's too much white at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I think it would be fine. My Aunt showed up to my wedding in a pure white (see-through) dress, and proceeded to talk about her wedding plans(her's was 3 weeks later) the whole reception to anyone who would listen. I think as long as you don't do that you will be fine lol I think you will look awesome in that dress without taking the bride's thunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 If it were my wedding, I wouldn't bat an eye if you wore that dress. It is lovely and looks very summer-y and nice. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 WEAR IT! It is a wonderful summery pattern and definitely not "too white". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohsmom23 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I think it's a perfectly acceptable dress for a summer wedding. I love the pattern! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 another *sure* ---wear it! but i do think asking your future SIL is a wise move......:D Uh-huh, me too, on both. I don't think a white (or a black) background floral was what the rule was meant to address. But I would ask the bride if there is any doubt.

PinkInTheBlue Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I think it's great and fine. You'll be just right for a summer wedding. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Perfect ! (and pretty, too !) The floral design is so prominent, nobody could call it "a white dress". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess in the Burbs Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 my MIL asked me about a dress and I said no. My SIL begged me to reconsider. I said no. Her dress was whiter than mine! she showed up in the palest of yellow dresses that in the photos is whiter than mine. ask the bride. she may totally laugh but you show respect in asking.

fivetails Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I don't know about anyone else, but I was *way* to excited on my wedding day to notice what anyone else was wearing, let alone be annoyed because of what colour(s) they did or didn't have on. ;) (nor would I have cared anyway!)

Carol in Cal. Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Pretty much fine without it, unless it's a very formal wedding, in which case I would be more worried that the print is just a bit casual than that it's based on white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skaterbabs Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 That's really cute! My brother-in-law got married last summer and his bride-to-be asked me to be one of the bridesmaids. (Where's the teary-eyed smilie?) All the bridemaids except the matron of honor (who was heavily pregnant) wore white knee-length dresses with black embroidery on them.

Nakia Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Thanks!! It's definitely a casual wedding, so no worries about it being too casual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just told my dad to NOT wear the Lime Green Polyester suit to my wedding :) So he wore the tan corduroy one. :lol: It's a good thing he's so cool!

Carol in Cal. Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Where are the controlling ones who tell EVERYONE what to wear? I have never been to a wedding like that, but I have heard of weddings where everyone is supposed to wear black or white, or of weddings where you're supposed to wear the assigned color that goes with your table 'to make the pictures go better.' OTT (over the top!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
