Going to a summer wedding and the dress code is summer formal. I’m not super familiar with wedding faux pas for guests. What colors besides white are off limits? I don’t know what color the bridal party is wearing. All of the dresses i’ve seen when I search summer guest dresses are very pastel so I worry it’s too close to white but don’t want to be too vivid with a bright green, orange or red (i’ve heard too bright is bad to wear too?)

Can totally have white as part of accents, but for summer formal, sticking to more pastel colors or high quality floral can be the move.

I would say better to err on the side of caution. You never know how photography will impact the shade of pastel you’re wearing. That pink may be too light but the blue is good.

i would stick to light greens, purples, oranges and even yellow. blue and pink on the lighter side are very likely to photograph closer to white while other colors aren’t. i think bright is typically fine for summer as well though! and florals are defintiely fine and it’s fully ok if there’s a little white in the dress as long as the white isn’t the main color

I’m leaning towards yellow now, probably this?

And can a dress have white in it? Like if there’s flowers can the petals or the inside of the flower be white? I keep getting mixed answers 😅
