IS THIS DRESS APPROPRIATE FOR A WEDDING?

I'd like to wear this dress to wedding in June.  Do you think it would be appropriate.  It's ivory and I don't want to compete with the bride.  But it's such a pretty dress!_12199013(1).jpg

it's pretty! I'd wear it for sure but not a huge fan of the short hem.

it is a gorgeous dress, but it being ivory and lace, i would avoid wearing it to someone elses wedding.

If you love it wear it.  You could accessorize it with color.

 

I've worn ivory and even white (gasp) to weddings and have never been mistaken for the bride.  I read of my faux pas here.

I agree with Sunshine45: "... it is a gorgeous dress, but it being ivory and lace, i would avoid wearing it to someone elses wedding"

If it came in another color, it would be more appropriate.

I would wear colored accessories.  A big statement necklace would be lovely.

I love the dress.  It's just the style I like.  Don't know about wearing it to a wedding.  Maybe as someone else said, wear something colored with it.  It is lovely though!

I would wear it to my own wedding but not as a guest. The combo of lace and ivory looks bridal.
