can I wear a pale yellow

to a summer day wedding? (in Seattle).

Looking for something fun and different to wear to this wedding. Friends of Al's - know the groom better than the bride (I may have met her once or twice.)

I have other things I could wear but I'm BORED!!

what do you think:
(wouldn't be as full since I won't have the crinoline underneath)

another I like:

I think they're both great, but I never got hung up on what my guests were wearing (a close friend w/a fantastic body wore a very revealing little black dress, and it might have bothered some brides but I thought she looked great). So, I'd just make sure the yellow isn't too pale if the bride is wearing ivory.

Personally, I wouldnt have noticed what anyone wore on my wedding day I was on such a high...but I think the first dress is a little too 'bride' to be completely within the realm of the rules. The second one is perfectly fine though.

Definetely either would be perfect for a summer day wedding. Love them!

Just my opinion but I think its borderline even without the poof. It really depends on the couple...they probably wont care at all and its a really cute dress.

I like the first one a lot...I think it looks more retro than bridey...

Re: can I wear a pale yellow

thats the look I was going for Erica - its a vintage dress from the 50's.

Re: can I wear a pale yellow

I think the first one is adorable. And if it's not as pouffy I think it would be great!

Re: can I wear a pale yellow

I agree w/Erica - it's definitely more retro than 'bridal'...go for it!

The first one is beautiful. One of my best friends got married last year and I wore a similar dress and the bride thought it was beautiful and thanked me for dressing so appropriately for a summer outdoor wedding.
