What are your thoughts about white dresses and weddings??
I have been invited to a wedding at the end of the month and need to find a dress. I have seen a lovely one in monsoon...white with gold detaling at the neckline!! It is fab. But can you get away with it at a wedding?
The bride is wearing a coffee colour and her bridesmaids are wearing a deep brown/purple.
I am a bit unsure about whether it is acceptable, but then I havent been to a wedding since I was a child!!

In saying that though, im just a traditionalist and im thinking that if anyone wore white at my wedding id be peeved so thats my opinion. Do you know the person or are you a plus one? If you knew them id just ask if it were ok. you never know what some bridezillas come out with when theyre stressed!
Im sorry if you think thats harsh, I dont mean it to be x
It would be so embarrassing if the Bride had bought a dress to change into for the reception and it was the same dress from Monsoon! Unlikely, I know, but that's the kinda thing I worry about!xx
personally i would ask your friend as she may not mind but if she does you can chose something else.
ps can we see the dress???? i love shopping!!

my friend said before my wedding that she was going to wear a white dress, that was floor length, with a train and a head piece that was net, as she'd only worn it once and needed some more wear ut of it!
I'd buy it. People would have to be pretty thick to be at a wedding and not be able to tell who the bride is; it's a lovely dress and I'm sure you'll look great!
A friend of mine had both SILs (her hubby's sis, and her brother's gf) turn up to her wedding in white trouser suits, and I thought that was a bit off tbh. But in one photo they got their comeuppance because they look like bookends lol! xx
Its not just the bride either...it could be someone like the brides gran or mother - y'know, the older 'traditionalists'
Im always reminded of 'monster in law' with J-lo when her MIL2B turns up in a white skirt suit and she gets really upset. I suppose the issue of wearing white is more to do with the inlaws stating that they dont approve?
P.s Sorry OP...im not having a dig at you for thinking about wearing white and that dress IS gorg...and seeing as its not floor length its not like it would be mistaken for one. If it were my wedding id let you wear it but youd need to wear lots of accessories...maybe some chunky gold bangles and gladiator sandals? xx
For other places to look online, have you tried asos.com
