I have a dress that is white with green and brown flowers. Is that still taboo to wear to a friends wedding?

It's a summer wedding, not at church. I know that all white isn't acceptable, but I'm hoping since it's not, it will be fine. Opinions are greatly appreciated!

That sounds perfect. The tradition of not wearing white is so that you don't out do the bride. This dress is a print and has 3 different colors in it -- one of which is white. No one can say you wore a "white dress". Enjoy yourself J-Lo, and don't give it another thought.
Reply:Really, if the flowers cover a large surface area of the dress, you are fine. Some white is ok, it is when most or all of the dress is white that is the problem. And green and brown are not typical colors for a bride's dress.


If the brown and green were a tiny flower attatched to the dress, no. If it is part of the pattern of the dress, yes. Obviously, you are not trying to be the bride. Wear the dress.
Reply:If it has a lot of colour I think it would be fine. I personally don't feel comfortable wearing any white to a wedding - however as a bride I didn't really care (I had one guest in off white and black...) I would say that your dress would be fine, but if you are really worried then just find something else.
Reply:If white is just the background color and the flowers are a pattern that is all over the dress then it's fine. If the flowers are just around the neck or the hem then I would find another dress to wear.
Reply:If you are close with the bride... then get her opinion. If she is fine with it, then no worries for you. If she isn't, then you still have time to get another dress.
Reply:if the dress was more white, like all white, with just one spot of having green and brown flowers, then i'd say no. but if the flowers are all over the dress, i think it would be perfectly acceptable! =)
Reply:I would generally go with the rule that if it has less than 50% white you should be okay. But bring a colored cardigan just incase bridezilla makes an appearance!
Reply:Honestly NO! its perfectly acceptable especially since its a summer wedding and its not solid white. The green/brown flowers make it acceptable... If it was me I would wear it!!!
Reply:nah don't where white.. it might make your friend jealous and she might over think it and think your tryin to steal her shine
Reply:Your fine!
Reply:no its fine with alot color so as long as its not all white
Reply:Um...no I don't think that's taboo! Go ahead and wear it, it seems fitting for a summer wedding!
Reply:Yes, it is generally taboo to wear any form of a white dress to someone's wedding.
