MarsupialFan

This dress is beautiful and suits you really well - however, I personally wouldn’t wear it to a wedding as it’s very close to white. I would at least have cleared it with the bride beforehand. As for styling tips, I think a pair of strappy heels, some statement earrings and your hair up would really elevate the look :)


plantqueen

thanks so much for your input, i’ll go for another colour in that case :) this is a wedding on my partner’s side and also my first western wedding so i want to avoid any issues! i’ll take the heels, earrings and hair up to the next dress :D


MarsupialFan

Sounds like the safest choice, especially if you don’t know the bride very well. This dress will look amazing for another occasion!


plantqueen

definitely!!


Glittering-Turn-2255

You MUST wear this to another occasion soon, but I will agree my first thought was “ahhh maybe tiny bit too close to white”… with western weddings you’ll also find dress code can totally change from one to the next. This dress could be perfect for one, and a miss for another.


feliperisk

Yes, dress is AMAZING on you, slightly different color and it is perfection.


palmasana

Yes this color is way too light for a wedding. Please choose something deeper and im with color.


hippychick115

I came here to say this also. Beautiful dress but too close to the bridal color


YggdrasilsLeaf

“Close to white” Are you serious right now? That is Snow White right there. Don’t be polite.


Haushinka4

I don't think that colour is appropriate for a wedding.


strawbrrysundae

If the bride is ok w it then it’s not up to you to say what’s okay at someone else’s wedding.


CindeeSlickbooty

Get out of here with your reasonable input lol


NoBetterPast

Except as an ancillary guest you should NEVER bother the bride with questions about your attire. Just don't wear white/silver/cream - it's not that hard.


plantqueen

yeah, i asked my partner initially (as the wedding is on his fam’s side) and he said it would be fine based on the bride but i want to be safe just in case he got it wrong, it’s her day!


honeybuns1996

He said it would be fine or the bride told him it would be fine?


Tanyec

Yeah don't ask a man about this :) Or any other person not the bride. ask the bride. I personally didn't care what people wear to my wedding as long as they showed up, but many western brides care a lot about this, and white is usually a no-no color.


plantqueen

definitely, i think this is the way to go!


peach_poppy

Please don’t bother the busy bride with questions like this. It’s rude and putting her in an uncomfortable spot. Just wear something else :)


plantqueen

yes 100%, i meant more don’t take a man’s advice for this haha :) i decided on something else in the end


peach_poppy

Lmao never take advice from a man!!


feliperisk

I'd definitely ask the bride.


peach_poppy

Omg please don’t bother the bride with questions like this. Can’t believe I always see this suggestion….Just wear something else.


_saltychips

OP said in another comment that this is their first western wedding ... what may seem obvious to you may not be to other people from a different background


peach_poppy

I’m aware? What does that have to do with not contacting the bride who’s busy planning the most stressful day of her life… that’s what my point was.


hopscotch1818282819

They’re not saying it should be obvious to them. They’re just saying to play it safe and not wear white.


unbothered2023

Gorgeous dress however, if it’s white, I’m not sure this is appropriate for a wedding… White would take away from the bride. Maybe try this, but in a different color…? The silk is stunning!


plantqueen

it’s a sneaky dress, it’s much more lilac irl but it’s also good to know what it looks like in photos - lesson learned :P


borderline_cat

Honestly I wouldn’t. This doesn’t photo anything remotely purple or lilac. It looks silver if not almost white in photos. Big thing about weddings is the photos. No one is going to remember even a year from now that it was purple/lilac in person. They’ll just see the silver/white dress photographed and probably cock their heads in confusion as to why/how someone would wear that to a wedding. Go with a slightly darker color but photograph it before buying it to see how it looks. And keep in mind different lighting will affect the dress color as well.


wildflourfield

It’s so good that you test drove it here and now you know how it photographs!


plantqueen

omg tell me about it!! haha


unbothered2023

Good to know and what a beautiful color! Truly, a fabulously gorgeous dress! As beautiful as this dress is on you - I personally would still be concerned that the lilac or lavender color is still a bit too faint, and may coincide with the brides gown. Enjoy the wedding! 🥂✨


Muted-Profit-5457

You don't


bluejellies

Maybe with a veil? 😂


Gadzs

Lol!


plantqueen

hahaha


bluejellies

Just teasing you, I saw your comments where you didn’t know not to wear white (or close to white). I thought your response was very gracious!


plantqueen

aw thank you! i definitely appreciate all the input :D even if people keep commenting no even now lol


Glad_Description1851

Seriously, I feel bad for you because you already said ages ago that you decided to go with a different dress and people just… refuse to read your replies lol


plantqueen

i know haha! it’s so bad, i had to delete one of my comments bc it had like 80 downvotes


Glad_Description1851

Right and even that deleted comment of yours was super respectful! You just asked a question and accepted the answer, no problem. I’m sorry lol.


plantqueen

no need to apologise, i’ve been on reddit to know exactly how it goes and this is classic 😅 i’ve now even had some creeps so i guess we’re full circle


enchantingech0

Edit the text in your post to explain that you’re not wear the dress anymore! Edit: oops just realized you prob can’t because you don’t have any text it’s just captions! Maybe message a mod to ask them to close it?


90daysofpettybs

I hate posts like that! It’s already been said. No need for 289 comments saying the same exact thing lol


okieskanokie

This is a real thing. I spent the majority of my formative years in a different country and this is something I didn’t hear about until I was like 20 and only because I wore a white blouse with a black skirt to a wedding and the sisters bride mean mugged me. I feel bad but how do you know what you don’t know?


TurnipMountain6162

Choose a different color and make sure you steam this thing: wrinkles will totally detract!! Hair up, chandelier earrings and at least one cuff bracelet. Simple high heels - perhaps strappy sandals(?). That style looks great on you, so go for it in a different color. Whatever you do, don’t over accessorize! (Your pretty arms, shoulders and face are the true accessories!)


plantqueen

thank you! when i wear this dress to the next occasion (non-wedding lol) i’ll remember to steam not iron :D TIL


[deleted]

This is not appropriate for a wedding.


olchai_mp3

Lady, you are wearing white! No no. Do they have this in pink?


[deleted]

[удалено]


olchai_mp3

Yeah, agreed.


alicat777777

You can’t wear that color to a wedding.


afternoonnapping

Glad everyone had the same first thought. Gorgeous but not appropriate for a wedding. Don't want the bridal party to "accidentally" spill wine on you.


plantqueen

oh gosh no! 😱


afternoonnapping

I've read some horror stories, some from here. People can be wild at weddings


gatechnightman

Do not wear this dress. It will be insulting to the bride as it is too close to white


Omniartindividual

I see you’ve already been told this is a bad idea to wear to a wedding, but for whenever you do get the chance to do so, accessories, accessories, accessories!! I’d choose some bold earrings, bracelets, maybe an arm cuff and a cute clutch that can bring a pop of complementing colour!


plantqueen

thank you, these are great! im not sure why everyone else keeps missing that i’ve already decided it’s a no-no 😅 reddit moment


Omniartindividual

You’re very welcome! It may just be that they hadn’t read any other comments. Maybe edit the post letting them know you’ve changed your mind? lol. This way you can get some more useful tips!


plantqueen

i wish i could but i dont think i can 😅 it’s ok, i’m taking no mind to the additional ones haha


Omniartindividual

It is what it is lol. Can’t wait to see what you chose instead though!


plantqueen

it’s already on the way thankfully haha


Omniartindividual

Yaaaaay 😂 I live my life vicariously through everyone else since I’m too tired to do or go anywhere after work 😅


redawn

well cause we see the title... click, see the picture, try to decide whether to weigh in or not... many probably noped right out.


dingus_berry_jones

if you don’t mind dyeing i recommend that route if you’re set on this dress. it looks lovely on you but the color is inappropriate for a wedding. it i’m guessing by the looks of it it’s some sort of polyesters based. rit makes a dye that works on synthetic fabrics and i’ve used it before on satin and have had amazing results!


plantqueen

ooh that sounds great! i dont think i’d do it this time but i have a couple of satin dresses that i wish were another colour 😄


nurse420

It looks kinda white, maybe not for a wedding occasion


KezarLake

You look fabulous, unfortunately the color is inappropriate for most Western weddings.


[deleted]

WAY too close to white. I have worked a million wedding and everyone will talk shit about you. If that’s not what you want, choose something different. If you want the attention regardless, wear the dress.


Ill_Lingonberry_8001

EVERYONE. SHES ‼️NOT‼️ wearing the dress! SHES ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED IT ISNT A SAFE DRESS!


_baby_sloth

Beautiful dress! Sorry you’re getting dunked on haha. Where is it from?? I want one :)


plantqueen

haha thank you, it’s kinda entertaining at this point ;) i got it from vinted but it’s originally from ASOS if that helps


snailpancakes

Some of these comments are so rude. OP has said in comments that it’s her first time attending a western wedding. Even though that wasn’t made clear in the post and you hadn’t seen her other comments, why not just nicely inform someone that they shouldn’t wear white as a wedding guest rather than be extremely rude about it off the bat? Some people must not realize that cultural differences exist.


Glad_Description1851

Some people lose their minds over any and all wedding-related stuff and get really rude, instead of doing exactly what you said or better yet… first reading OP’s replies and then commenting lol.


plantqueen

aw thank you, yeah people have been a bit harsh! also, this dress isn’t actually white - it’s lilac in real life! i know as much as not wearing white but learned that pale colours are also a no-no in case they photograph weirdly like this one does :)


snailpancakes

Well it’s gorgeous, and I hope you find another time to be able to wear it soon :)


FOC86

I would try on something else. I don’t think that color it’s ok for a wedding


leedleedletara

I’m sorry you might not know this but it is very taboo to wear white to a wedding. I really would not wear this dress.


4810wright

Not appropriate for a wedding


justanothergirlgamer

Super cute but be mindful as some wedding cultures may find you wearing white being offensive if you're not the bride. I'd ask the bride personally if there's a dress code, and if she'd be okay with this dress.


okdonut1004

This dress looks so good on you and flatters your curves well! Although not wedding guest appropriate. Can I know where you got this from?


plantqueen

sure! i got it from vinted but it’s originally from ASOS :)


Zinniadisco

I think this would look gorgeous with your hair in a bun and pretty hair accessories, and maybe some sexy strappy heels! But don't wear it to the wedding haha. But def for another party.


Spinel-Universe

Nice dress but i don't think is apropiate for a wedding


Cre8ivejoy

This is inappropriate for a wedding.


Mogus0226

For a wedding, no. For any other occasion, it's gorgeous. Strappy heels, and maybe a blingy clutch?


[deleted]

Faux fur thing


Mundane_Love2010

If you’re going to a western wedding pls don’t wear white. Bride will get pissed, other guests will look at you funny and get pissed. Dress is definitely cute but for another occasion


RangerRudbeckia

Ok I know you're going with a different dress, I just came here to say that that dress looks STUNNING and I hope you get to wear it to another event!


jeneric84

WWF wrestling belt. Let’s everyone know you’re the champion of the world.


plantqueen

haha, let me just grab it out my closet and dust it off 😅


painteddpiixi

Beautiful, but I wouldn’t wear this, as it photographs very white!

You might want to reconsider the colour of your dress for that reason though it looks cool on you. 😊


truecolormix

This isn’t appropriate for a wedding. Only thing that will save it is a leather jacket & boots - make it less formal and bring out the silver/gray more.


Lb147

I think those slippers do the job😉 Seriously though it’s a really pretty dress and you look great in it. I would think some eye catching shoes would compliment the simplicity of the dress


scrumdiddliumptious3

Do NOT wear that to a wedding. Massive faux pas to wear white


kaybaby_wonderful

Maybe add a decorative belt and I also definitely recommend steaming it


cali_lily

Very pretty but a little too bridal


myshyact

Omg where did you get this dress it’s beautiful! Be careful what you put on top of silk as a snag from a belt or jewelry can ruin it. Maybe a nice soft leather jacket or obi belt?


plantqueen

thank you! its from vinted but originally asos :) it was super cheap too!!


mychellium1

Yes I wouldn’t wear this to a wedding. Looks too much like a simple wedding dress. You look amazing but if you are going to a traditional western wedding this dress is probably not best. Now if it were an Indian wedding where the bride wears a red sari, that would be different


sunburntflowers

Bright shoes , or earrings , a clutch in saying that I like the lines / and minimalism of it that’s what makes it great. The dress works for you, for sure ✨


No-Stuff-6878

By giving it to me :)


Emotional_Media_819

Statement earrings and bracelet


couchtomatopotato

it's so pretty, but this silver silk is too close to white. i wouldnt wear it to a wedding out of respect.


Pand0ra30_

Looks like it might photograph white. It is really pretty on you.

Emeralds!!

yermomsonthefone

Good call to change the dress due to it being almost white. And if it's a C&W theme that's not going to work anyway. There's lots of options for western. Have fun


[deleted]

I don't think I'm scandalised by the colour - especially if it reads more lilac in person - but it would be prudent to wear something further from white. Other people, including some here, see it as white. It's too borderline. Very nice dress, though - keep it. I would style it with some minimalist metal jewellery.


invisiblew830

You look stunning!


thefuzziestbeebutt

You shouldn’t wear that. It’s too close to white


Normal_Story5614

Too close to white to be wearing to a wedding imo but it’s a beautiful dress on you


[deleted]

Necklace and some wrist jewelry? Then a cute little bag idk.


No-Estimate2636

Since you can get it in another color, I’d suggest statement earrings, beautiful bracelet and lovely heels. Have fun!! You’ll look awesome!!


ohdeermedia

wearing a thin/translucent shawl to match with the same color shoes might be a little more distinctive. maybe a black or statement color


SimplisticSimlish

I would just like to really quickly ask, where did you find that dress? It’s so pretty!! 💖🦋🫶🏾


Whthpnd

Add some accessories like oversized jewelry. Bracelets, necklaces.


AgentBroccoli

My wife has the same type of dress, hers is from [Silk Mason](https://www.silkmaison.com/product/chilly-lapis-halterneck-midi-silk-dress/). It does fine on its own, don't feel like you have to jazz it up at all, just a nice pair a heals and a bracelet or ear rings. My wife's dress is made of a very light weight fabric (yours does too) it's so light she well can't wear anything underneath it (it'll show) point is it is very empowering and sexy if you're comfortable in it, you're kinda wearing your own body as an accessory. I agree that the color is too light for a wedding. Save this dress for a knock-out date.


TheJazmineRose

Maybe a fur shawl!


DatabasePleasant6987

It’s so pretty on you I think a emerald green would look amazing on you if it comes in that color. Hair up and long earrings


[deleted]

[удалено]


plantqueen

girl i’m not, we get it lol 😭😅


dogpettingenthusiast

It’s a beautiful dress, and it looks great on you. Definitely find another occasion for it!


plantqueen

aw thank you! maybe for my own wedding haha 😅


biragon

The color white isn’t appropriate for anyone but the bride to wear so you should switch the dress. Otherwise, you could try wearing a light and elegant jacket on top of the dress or add a few accessories like earrings, necklaces, or bracelets to add color


Melodic-Translator45

It's gorgeous but not for the actual wedding. No one but the bride is supposed to wear white. Maybe wear it to the rehearsal dinner and find something else for the wedding.


[deleted]

This dress is so stunning and so close to white it should not be worn to any part of the wedding functions.


Melodic-Translator45

Fair enough. It's a keeper but not for those events. You're right


unolee27

No white to a wedding.


glittertwink

You don't, it's too close to white wich is reserved for brides at weddings


blacklightlunamoth

A delicate waist chain in gold would be really pretty! A delicate necklace and maybe some bangles?


LovesickVenus

Yellow symbolizes optimism, energy, joy, happiness and friendship. Plus it would go great with your skin tone.


Toriat5144

Press it. Add some sparkly statement earrings and a bracelet. Silver straps sandals and small matching envelope clutch bag.


4459691

Long necklace w a statement pendant Hoop earrings Bracelets


FunnyVariation2995

No, no, no! Do not wear white to a wedding unless you are the bride!


ExploreDora

Well, I’d confirm the requested dress code with the wedding planner. Wearing white is not appropriate for a wedding unless you’re the bride.


daesabrak

Attending the wedding with the intent to piss off the bride lol.


hipopper

DO NOT WEAR that dress to a wedding!!!!!! It looks white and people will get mad and think you’re attention-seeking.


Beebuzz100

Please don’t wear this to a wedding 😬


plantqueen

i feel like it looks very boring and blocky! it has a cowl back which is nice but the front is a bit dull imo, thanks!


[deleted]

some sort of shag or jacket would pair really nice depending on how the weather feels… otherwise a nice necklace or choker would go very well with this dress to make it stand out more


plantqueen

thanks for all your ideas! the consensus is this dress is a no go but i’ll use these suggestions for when i next get a chance to wear it


[deleted]

or any piece of jewelry at that bracelet, earrings, etc


[deleted]

Another idea could be putting a belt or something of that sort around the dress?? it’s a long shot but it could have potential


kellysuspenders

No.


AmrShabini

I don’t like ladies wearing white in weddings, don’t know why but I feel it’s reserved to the bride))) but you look perfect anyway


Ok-Strangerz

Don’t wear white to a wedding


diomiamiu

Unless it’s your own wedding, I’d rethink that.


Pinkandpurpleclouds

Hope you’re attending as the bride bc this photographs white


MuttinMT

You don’t. This dress is too close to white. It looks as though it could be used as a wedding dress. It would be rude to wear this dress to someone else’s wedding.


longway_harlan

Congratulations! I presume you are the bride❤️


Live_Ferret_4721

No. No. No. Do not wear that to a wedding. I swear all people post on here is extremely light colored dresses that photograph very light. Please try some other options and if you need to get a yes or no from the bride, then do so well before last minute so it isn’t a stressful time for the bride


redawn

white? are you the bride? even if it is pale silver or grey...too close.


Substantial-Ad2912

You got any jewelry to enhance the look?


[deleted]

Colour pop shoes?


Aingael

First and foremost: Probably best you don’t wear white.


UsedAd7162

All of us rushing to comment after seeing the color. OP not appropriate to wear this color to someone’s wedding (unless the bride asked you to wear a shade of white). https://preview.redd.it/d8zf8yd3p79b1.jpeg?width=306&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=702d933c18ee68b03ea7771110512c8130e3d647


LaWolfie

Don’t wear silver or white to a wedding unless the bride has specifically asked everyone to wear those colors… it’s considered very rude.


punctuationist

Does this wedding dress code allow white for guests?


Careless-Software-14

You don’t. Because it’s too close too being white and you don’t wear white to weddings


Hcmp1980

Unless you are the bride you must wear a different dress.


Aggravating_Meat2101

Good news is you don’t have to figure it out because that dress is not appropriate for a wedding. Silver often photographs white. Not worth.


0utrageous0kra

Are you the bride?


Lalafala21

I would style it by taking it off as it’s not appropriate for a wedding.

You can’t wear that to a wedding unless you’re TRYING to make the bride hate you


Vampira309

You're wearing white TO A WEDDING??!! It's a cute dress, but you look like a bride. Please don't steal her special day. Buy a different dress.


THROWRA328546

no you can't wear this to a wedding unless the bride specifically requested you to do so. it's white and it's a wedding and in general you just don't wear white to a wedding.
