White/Silver to a wedding?

Pinot Grigio

Hi Guys,
so ive found a dress i love and want to wear to an x mas wedding...its sparkly and exactly what i wanted...(going with the Christmas feel!)
Do you think its going against the rule of not wearing white/cream to a wedding ...or allowed?

I love the dress, and while its not 'wedding dressy' in and of itself, I wouldn't wear it to a wedding.

Its just not the done thing, and you'll probably meet a lot of disapproval if you wear it. I think the main concern is photos and its thought of as upstaging the bride, as she's supposed to be the only one wearing white on the day.

Its a really great dress though, do they have it in another colour?

Pinot Grigio

No other colour unfortunately..oh if they did id be grabbing at it!

I have to agree OP - it is lovely but a bit bridaly looking. The bride could turn up in it!

i generally don't hold to those conventions and don't think anyone's opinion beyond the bride's matters, but i think even i wouldn't wear that to a wedding, sorry, it looks pretty close to what some brides actually wear

Pinot Grigio

ahh lads..she wont... !:D
ragin there s no other colour! Ive mailed her and asked her opinion..she know i just want sparkly!

DAMN DAMN

Not appropriate for a wedding.

That has the potential to be worse.

I was at a wedding where the bride changed into a white cocktail dress for the reception. Two girls in white dresses...disaster! Play it safe OP, either buy it and have the dress dyed another colour, or find another one.

I think it's very inappropriate to wear that to a wedding.
I don't think asking the brides opinion was a very nice thing to do either unless ye are sisters/very close.

Pinot Grigio

Maybe new years i know she s not changing into cocktail dress...:(

+1, you're really backing her into a corner, it's highly unlikely she'd tell you not to wear it.

It's going to be alot milder this winter.

Yeah, not an appropriate dress to wear to a wedding. If you turn up in such a gorgeous, glamorous white dress you WILL be getting dirty looks.

ive have decided against....even though bride said she does nt believe in all that c**k and bull re: wearing white she said it was fab and to go for it....
