But I woudn't wear it to a wedding.</p> <p>When in doubt, I always ask myself: "would I be annoyed if someone had worn that to MY wedding?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-885606 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 10:33:10 +0000 plantains 885606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The dress is lovely. It is covered in blue dots, I can't see any reason not to wear it to a wedding. I would wear it to a wedding in a heartbeat and wouldn't think anything of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-885589 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 10:27:09 +0000 fussygal 885589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a few people have suggested, I think I might send a pic to the bride since it totally does depend on the bride. While I wouldn't have minded if someone wore it to mine, I can totally see how someone might. Better safe than sorry :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-885202 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:37:57 +0000 Alivoo01 885202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the polka dots help offset the white so I think it's okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-885172 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:30:53 +0000 MsLipGloss 885172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't wear it either. Just too much white! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-885167 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:30:18 +0000 mediagirl 885167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't wear it to a wedding. I would find something with a base that is any color other than white or black. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-885140 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:23:13 +0000 pui 885140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't wear that to a wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-885130 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:20:36 +0000 purrpletulips 885130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the no white rule is if the dress is only white. That looks pretty and perfect for a summer wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-885093 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 08:00:48 +0000 LuLu Mom 885093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a cute dress &amp; not too much white, it has huge blue polka dots on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-885079 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:54:55 +0000 woodentulip 885079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally off topic (sorry!), but someone wore an ivory dress with a taupe sash (exact colours I was wearing) to my wedding. I didn't care but people still talk to me about it! Ha!</p> <p>I don't think that anyone could ever mistake a blue polkadot dress for a wedding dress-absolutely in the clear IMO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-885068 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:49:28 +0000 photojane 885068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: This.</p> <p>I'd wear it in a heartbeat. I'd probably avoid wearing a wedding gown, but other than that, I think you're fine with white. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-885061 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:46:36 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 885061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Came back to add that I have worn white to a wedding. The dress was short and had a gold floral pattern on it. The dress was summery, daytime, dressy comfortable.</p> <p>The bride wore a strapless gown with a asymetrical embroidery that flowed into a large skirt and train. Her hair and makeup was flawless and she had jaw dropping chandelier earrings. She looked every bit the part of a bride. </p> <p>Some brides opt for all white weddings- bridal party in whute or cream or ask guests to wear white or cream. I really don't think it's a big deal. You aren't trying to upstage the bride. So far all of these dresses featured on "wear white to wedding" are not show stoppers. You found a dress you like and at the end of the day spend your money on something you like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-884995 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:25:28 +0000 regberadaisy 884995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @artbee: . I stay away from any and all white to a wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-884991 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:23:31 +0000 heffalump 884991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stay away from any white, just in case. I personally wouldn't care if you wore that to my wedding.... but it just depends on the bride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-884858 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 04:58:58 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 884858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the dress - could you ask the bride to make sure she wouldn't have a problem with it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-884840 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 03:45:03 +0000 illumina 884840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wear it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-884714 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 23:12:49 +0000 googly-eyes 884714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't have minded if someone wore that at my wedding, but I wouldn't wear it because I don't want to be the talk of the old ladies and whoever else is big on the no white thing. But I do like the dress and again it wouldn't have bothered me if someone wore it to my wedding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-884681 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:52:24 +0000 Mrsjets 884681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's super cute! I wouldn't wear it to a wedding though - especially with white heals/gloves (which I'm sure you wouldn't do! Just an observation of the pic). I guess I'm saying, maybe different accessories (a belt maybe) could make it look more wedding appropriate... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-884666 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:40:40 +0000 MamaMoose 884666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't wear it to a wedding. And if we're being honest I probably wouldn't have been psyched if someone wore it to mine. But super cute dress!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-884665 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:39:34 +0000 luckypenny 884665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't.

I think that's a silly old rule. I would hesitate to wear something summery and white to a wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-884410 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 20:25:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 884410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Adorable dress! I probably wouldn't wear it but I wouldn't have cared if someone wore it to my wedding...</p> <p>I did almost buy a dress for a formal wedding that was ivory but half black as well and sent the pic to the bride and she said absolutely not so I guess it depends on the bride? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-884407 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 20:23:06 +0000 mrsmate 884407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't, I think it's too much white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-much-white-for-a-wedding#post-883994 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 17:09:32 +0000 fussygal 883994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Small world!

It's not like people are going to confuse someone in a white and blue polka dot dress for the bride....and if they do, why are they at the wedding?! I think your dress is super cute and I'd wear it without hesitation! </p>
