This is the dress I purchased for an upcoming brunch wedding September 2008.http://www.davidsbridal.com/social_d...roup=213W ell I made the mistake of showing the bride the dress I bought. At first she was telling it its "too fancy" and then finally told me the truth of how she was really feeling and said "you shouldn't wear silver to a wedding." I have never heard you can't wear silver to a wedding. White - yes, I understand that. But not Silver. Mind you, I am NOT in her bridal party, I am a GUEST to her wedding. Any answers for me?I just had my second baby and I need a dress that is comfortable and not tight, when I saw this I knew it would look great on me after having a baby.

I think the dress is very nice, but being as how she invited YOU to the wedding and not the other way around, I think you should respect her feelings and not wear it.

I love the dress. Is she really going to monitor what everyone is going to wear? I think you should wear the dress and maybe you could find a light weight wrap or jacket for the dress. Accessories are everything and also the shoes. I have never heard of not wearing silver to a wedding. Just make sure it doesn't become a bigger issue than it should. I wish I looked that good in that type of dress.

I could understand her not wanting you to wear it if it were white. But its silver, I've never heard that you can't wear silver to a wedding. Its a beautiful dress, so just wear it to her wedding. It shouldn't matter what you wear. Sounds like a picky bride to me.

I'd return it if you could. Whatever normal conventions are, if this bride's going to be uncomfortable with you wearing silver, it's your relationship with her that will suffer. You showed her the dress, and can't change that, she will most likely be upset if you decide to wear the dress anyways. Aside from the color, I agree it is also much more of an evening cocktail dress than appropriate for a brunch (it's too short).The yellow dress that Lydia suggested is lovely, or something similar.
