Opinions please?

[clmgordon]

I'm 25 and I've never been to a wedding where a) I wasn't involved and told what to wear; or b)  young, like under 15.  I have a wedding to go to in about 2 weeks and I still don't know what to wear. I bought these 3 dresses, with the intent to return at least one of them (I have another, more casual wedding to attend in a month). I may not keep any of them  and keep looking, so if you guys think none of them looks appropriate let me know. Please give me an honest opinion or your thoughts.

What is appropriate really depends on the wedding, some weddings are very elegant almost black tie affairs others are much more casual.  You can usually tell by the time of day, evening weddings tend to be dressier affairs.   The only 'rule' if you will is that a woman shouldn't wear white to a wedding.  No one should seem to be upstaging the bride.

Thank you so much for your response. I'm so stressed out about this dang wedding lol. The bride is ~25 years old and I'm sure it wont be TOO fancy but I know she tried to make it nice. I just have no idea what young women wear to weddings. I'm sure I'll be ok as long as I look nice, but I'm so anxious about what to wear and I feel lost! What looks ok for a woman in her mid-20's to wear to a wedding?

Do those dresses look ok? Or, for example, does the pink and black lace striped one look too prom-like? I just have no idea and only two weeks to figure it out!

For what it's worth I like the black one.

 

[kittens mom]

The flowered one for an afternoon affair.

The black for a wedding where the reception might go later into the night.

The pink and white a bit out of place for a wedding. You might get mistaken for the cake. , running and ducking.....

Love the last one with bright flowers especially with hot summer approaching.

You're smiling in the black dress as well there you Go!  

 

They look beautiful!

 

[jennyrosalie]

Definitely don't like the first one but the second one is great! It looks professional and classy without being overboard. The third one is nice for a summer early afternoon more casual wedding.

 

[clmgordon]

Wow thanks to all of you for responding! Its so helpful as I've gotten incredibly mixed messages about all three when I tried them on.
More opinions please!

 

[LotsOfFur]

You look great in all three styles

I like #2 for the first event & #3 for the more casual wedding.

 

[handsome kitty]

I love the flowered one! 

the black one is nice too.

 

[DreamerRose]

I like the flowered one best, too, but it may be too casual for an evening wedding. The black one would be best for that.

 

[denice]

I think the black one for an evening wedding and either one of the other two for a daytime wedding.

 

[foxxycat]

the black is elegant and probably what I would wear if it was an evening affair. the flowers are nice-that's an afternoon one...both look good..not crazy about the 1st one.

They all look good but not sure about the extra fabric on #1.

 

[Kat0121]

I'd go with the black one but the flowered one is pretty too if it's not too formal. I'm also not wild about the first one. 

 

[clmgordon]

Thanks for all the opinions, guys, you were very helpful. I've decided to keep the flowered dress for the casual wedding next month. I returned the first dress and am going to wear one of these two:

Both are beautiful. And you are indeed a gracious guest taking the time to make sure you enhance their special day.

 

[rubysmama]

I see the 1st dress has already been returned.  It was my least favourite of the 3.  

I love the flowery one!  

And both of those black ones are nice.  

 

[Mamanyt1953]

Both are lovely.  Both would be quite appropriate.  HOWEVER...you asked for an opinion.  Based solely on my own opinion, and the fact that I carry extra weight, I'd opt for the first one, with its elongated pattern, rather than the round one.  More slimming, in my book.  But you don't look like that would be such an issue for you, so..either.
