Do you think it is appropriate, or is too close to bridal and make the bride uncomfortable?

    it's a beautiful dress, but i would steer clear of whites and ivory at a wedding. go for something navy blue instead!

    ^ this. It's a little too close to being bridal. Great dress though. Is it a black tie wedding? If not I'd say that's a bit fancy anyway.

    I'd hate to think that deep colors are my only option. It would be nice to wear something glamorous like this. But to where?

    I don't go to top level benefit dinners, but I do go to plenty of weddings.

    It would be nice to go all out and look gorgeous after loosing some weight.

    Too close to looking "bridal." You don't have to go with "deep" colors, just not something so close to white/ivory. Hope you find something!

    You can wear florals. Or pastel. White or ivory is a no-no at a wedding though.

    agreed- no white or ivory as a base... if you want to do a pastel or something go for that, doesn't have to be dark colors. :smile: It is pretty though, if you went on a cruise you could wear it for formal night, or an other event outside of a wedding...

    It's gorgeous, but I wouldn't wear it to a wedding. But if it came in a shorter cut, or in a different color, I'd say go for it!

    if someone wore that to mine i'd be mad, its beautiful but anything near white shouldn't be worn by anyone except the bride.

    I agree. I also think its too bridal. The dress is absolutely gorgeous though. You also want to remember at wedding you never want to take the attention away from the bride. =)

    If that friend is your fiancee, I think you'd be okay. But mostly no.

    if you look like the model in the picture...then wow...so you would for sure distract from the bride!!!

    If I looked like the model in the pic and I was going to a wedding then I would wear something a little bit in keeping with being a guest?

    No ma'am, you should never wear Ivory or whites to a wedding. I'm planning my wedding and would be pissed if someone wore it to my wedding. In fact I'm stating what colors are discouraged from being worn. Choose something else!

    I wouldn`t say you necessarily have to pick something navy blue--but I would definitely not wear that dress at the wedding (although it is very pretty!)
