I'm going to two mid-summer weddings this year. I really like this one dress that I have that's pinkish white. I don't know if that would be appropriate because it might steal the bride's thunder because I'm also wearing white although it's pinkish. Is this really an appropriate color? If not, what color would work best with a summer wedding?

Call the brides in advance and make sure they think it is OK that you wear that color, since it is so _close_ to white.
Also, some above responders say that bride will definitely be wearing white, but that is not always true-- bridal gowns are often rum pink, ivory, champagne colored...

When I got married my MIL called me and told me in a no big deal way she was wearing ivory. Well, most mothers know that you do not pick the color of your dress for the wedding before the mother of the bride does. i called my mom right away and she said what do you want me to do? I told her that i wanted her in ivory too. Thank God she looks great in Ivory.
I had an ivory dress and by no means did I feel like anyone was taking away from me. My mom and MIL looked so neat in the same color.
trust me know one will think you are the bride showing up in a the dress you want to wear. You should have seen the dress my BIL girlfriend showed up in. Talk about trying to take away from someone. She was trying to take away from my maid of honor. He was the best man and she looked so silly in the scarlet red prom dress that people were talking about the girl in the red prom dress for months after the wedding . Someone actually was talking about it right in front of her. She was blushing so much that she got up and left the room.
Go ahead and wear the dress I am sure it will be find. You might want to carry a shall or a sweater to cover your self if you feel like you might feel cold or something. If when get to the wedding and you feel uncomfortable then ask your guest to borrow his jacket then you can cover up and say that you are feeling a little cold that is all.

Pink is perfect for a summer wedding. The bride will be wearing white not pink so u will not take attention form her, unless the dress is flashy or that u look so good in it everyone can't help but check u out =-)

By all means do not wear anything that out does the bride on her special day. That is bad etiquette. Talk to the bride and ask her for some suggestions. Have fun at the weddings.

If you don't want to look as though you are upstaging the bride, where a light yellow, of soft purple color. You can probably find that dress in a different color and it will look just as nice.

well.. if its more white than pink, I would not wear it. It is not right to wear "white" to a wedding. So pick another color and stand out for looking hot, not for wearing white.

okay anything light pastel colored but not white, don't sweep everyone including the grooms feet out from under them, ha ha ha. You know a lilac color or a darker pink, maybe even a red!!!

Only if the bride has requested that you not wear certain colors does it become inapropriet. Go ahead. :)

Wear whatever dress you want to and feel comfortable in, remeber it's going to be a long hot day, so make sure it is one that you will be comfortable in.
