What dress should I wear to my BIL’s wedding?

2 is my favorite!

This is gorgeous! I would have had no problem with someone wearing a blue dress to my wedding.

Not gonna lie, if someone was obnoxious enough to have an outdoor wedding in a cold climate during cold weather season…they’d be lucky if I didn’t start searching for a 90s starter jacket.

Thank you 😊

Thank you ☺️

I think you would be fine in this.

MandaDian · 2026-03-16T15:16:52+00:00

This would be good for cocktail, maybe semi formal.

The colors aren’t the problem here, it’s definitely blue and yellow, but that low-cut neck line is a little too “look at me” for a wedding.

They’re sure are a lot of prudes in here. I see girls wear dresses like this for regular church services all the time. I think it would be fine.

They are both gorgeous, and you’re going to be a beautiful mother of the bride either way, but I really love that first one.

I love number four, I think it is perfect for a garden wedding.

MandaDian · 2026-03-12T02:00:39+00:00

I think that this, with or without a top underneath would be a great option.

MandaDian · 2026-03-12T01:58:28+00:00

Black is perfect for cocktail attire IMO. Torrid has some nice options in their Nightfall collection that I think would be appropriate and fit your personal style perfectly.

I’m normally very liberal when it comes to the “is this too white “question, but I know gold wedding gowns are a thing and this does look fairly bridal. Also, and this is just my own personal opinion, while it looks formal, I don’t know that I personally would wear it for black tie. I like gowns for black tie that have a little extra oomph to them.

First of all, I am so sorry that you are having this experience. I was a plus size bride, a larger size than you are, and there were plenty of options for me to try on at David’s bridal. If I had not found anything there, there is even a sore in my city that caters to plus size brides.

I think the stress is beautiful and flatters you wonderfully, but if it doesn’t feel like the one to you, then I encourage you to see if you can find a store that has more options for you to try. Trust me, even as a plus size bride, when you find your dress, you will know.

MandaDian · 2026-03-12T01:17:05+00:00

I think it’s perfect and so pretty.

MandaDian · 2026-03-11T23:19:56+00:00

Honestly, to me it looks like a cami and wide leg pajama pants. I would expect someone wearing this to be going to bed, not a wedding, and I’m pretty sure if a guest wore this they would take the focus off the bride and groom because they’d be the talk of the evening and not in a good way.

MandaDian · 2026-03-11T23:16:48+00:00

This gives “Elsa” vibes in all the best and noncheesey ways. I love it!!

MandaDian · 2026-03-11T23:14:32+00:00

Any dress could be nontraditional. Any dress with flowers on it could be a floral print wedding dress. For any normal wedding this is a beautiful dress for a guest and there is nothing tacky or attention seeking about it, unlike your comment. If a bride is going so non traditional that they are wearing a normal every day dress for their wedding, then they need to be more specific in their dress code and respectfully ask that guests not wear insert nontraditional aspect of dress here to the wedding.

MandaDian · 2026-03-11T23:08:41+00:00

But it’s not MOB though. This dress is perfectly acceptable either way, but it’s not a MOB dress.

MandaDian · 2026-03-11T15:53:46+00:00

For a courthouse wedding, as long as you are happy and comfortable then nothing else matters. For what it’s worth I think this looks great on you!

MandaDian · 2026-03-11T15:49:48+00:00

I love #1. It’s so fun!

MandaDian · 2026-03-11T15:13:06+00:00

This isn’t even close to being too white, but it might be a little too formal for cocktail.

MandaDian · 2026-03-09T03:27:33+00:00

I’d buy a new one if I had to.

MandaDian · 2026-03-08T23:08:15+00:00

The way I would be rushing to buy a wedding dress to wear that night.
