I think its fine for a casual wedding. A few questions really quick. How tall are you and what type of shoes are you going to wear? Taller people pull of longer dresses better, but it can work for shorter people too, if you wear a nice heel. If you are taller, a low heel or a cute strappy sandal would work. Good luck hope this helps, have fun!!

It really depends on a few factors:
1. Time of the wedding (even if it is casual a night wedding requires some formality, plain colors instead of prints, shine and/or accesories)
2. Place where the wedding/reception is being held. Is not the same attending a beach wedding than it is a reception wedding even though this last one is not so formal.
3. What the invitation advices regarding dresses (non-formal I assume is what yours states).
Anyway, I would say that for a non-formal, day wedding, that is not really fancy you can totally use this dress. I do not know where the wedding is going to be. If weather allows used some nice sandals, a cardigan will be fantastic in a coordinated color (e.g. green if you opt for the green/white dress, pink if you decide to wear the pink/white).
Also, this dress really allows you to use some nice accesories, do not be shy to wear a nice vintage necklace, some earrings (chandelier won't look bad at all), if it is a necklace/earrings set even better. And don't forget the bag and makeup! Good luck!

I would say it's a bit casual, unless the wedding is outdoors during the day and a non-formal wedding. Hopefully the wedding is in the next couple of months b/c you should only wear linen betw. May and Sept. (linen kind of falls under that rule about wearing white only between Memorial Day and Labor Day - at least that's how it is in MI b/c we have such a long winter - perhaps in warmer states it's different).
The dress would be more appropriate for a bridal shower rather than the wedding.

Yeah you could wear that for sure but I think its more appropriate in the Natural flora.
I didnt care what people wear to my wedding as long as it looks like they have made an effort and not just rolled out of bed and thrown on the first thing they see.

You can rock that dress under one condition, if you cut & hem it a little bit over your knee and then pair it with a white/brown cardigan and some brown accessories and shoes to finish the look.

Which print did you get? I don't think the flower print would be okay unless it was some kind of Hawaiian wedding. And i agree with Mischa: you should wear heels with the derss and i think you should be taller.

It is way too casual- it doesn't even look semi-formal. I wouldn't wear it if I were you, unless it's a beach wedding.

Depending upon the cardigan it could be a cute combination. If you think its cute to wear to this not so formal wedding, then wear it. It sounds cute to me.

I don't go to websites. If you know the person really well & you know it's casual......go for it. If you still want to question it, call her or her maid/matron of honor. I wouldn't be offended, but I'm never getting married again.
