    Ya black would probably be the best option for me. Do you think I should wear a little blazer or a shawl with it? Or should I leave it. :)

    Dudara is right, you will need something for the church to cover your shoulders. Or more importantly, to stop you freezing waiting around the church after!

    I love the dress but don't think it's appropriate to wear a white/cream dress to a wedding.

    I think it is fine to wear to it because it is not an obvious cream dress. In person it looks more beige because of the material under the lace.
    The bride won't mind at all plus it has black on it!!

    I was also looking for advice on dresses for weddings. I have one coming up really soon and it's the first wedding I've been to so not quite sure what the dress etiquette is. I know there's been some discussion over wearing cream but I was wondering does that count for the dress below? It's kind of a yellow/orangey cream on top? The second one is another option, would that be appropriate?

    Someone said earlier about not wearing short dresses but I'm short myself and anything close to or at the knee look horrific on me.

    I also have a wedding coming up and this is the dress I am looking at. Is it suitable?

    @shoos - for me, the first dress is lovely. The dusky pink skirt is a beautiful colour. The second dress doesn't come across well, though maybe that's because it's on a hanger.

    @leanonme - Love the pattern on that dress. Wouldn't see anything wrong with it for a wedding.

    Shoos, I'd agree with dudara, the first dress is very nice and totally appropriate, but the second isn't quite as nice and you'd have to have a very small bust for the top to not seem a bit revealing for a church.

    Leanonme, I wouldn't say the dress is inappropriate, but I don't see the need to take the risk of wearing any white to a wedding. It is lovely though, if you're set on it go for it but there's no harm in looking around a bit more to avoid the white.

    My difficulty is that I find it very hard to get dresses, as I am 6ft 2in tall, so many normal dress are way too short, or the proportions are way off. I already have the dress bought as i got it for my cousins wedding this year, and then found a nicer dress, so went with it. So hoping not to but another dress.

    Think that's decided it, I'll go with the first one!

    To be honest, the second looks grand on. My bust is very small and it completely covers me, no boob lines or cleavage. But the black and darker colours... I think something brighter would suit a spring wedding.
