It's the brides day, and wearing white (even if is in cream or ivory) will only distract from her and her dress. Save the white dress for another occasion.

Well most people are saying not to, but you know what, there are some brides out here that really are not all that hung up on what should/should not happen at their wedding. I agree that it could cause offence, so if I were you then I would ask the bride, it is her wedding after all, and if she (LIKE ME) is really not bothered then that would be perfectly fine to wear. Some would say if you have to ask then you shouldn't be doing it, but if any of my guests turn up in white or cream I'm not gonna waste time and energy throwing a hissy fit about it.

it is bad to wear white if the bride is wearing any colour near to white whereas if the bride was wearing red or something like that then it would be fine. Try and wear something else or you could ask the bride if it is okay to also wear white you never know she might just say yes.

Hi well to be honest I think you can wear what you like white cream or Ivory if its not in the shape or looks like a wedding dress then I think its fine.
Im getting married this year and if one of the guest had an White dress on then I wouldnt be offended as its just a standard dress and not like mine with a train or anything. Somepeople are too picky, not every one like to wear bright pinks and greens and basically black is out of the question.
As long as its an everyday summer dress or occasion wear for a wedding guest to wear then there is nothing wrong with it.
Some people are just too picky.
I would only be upset if one of the guests had got a big long white/ivory type ball gown dress that they could be seen getting married in. But if someone was just wearing a knee high strappy dress thing then I would think nothing of it.
I dont think anyone else will either.

Absolutely not. Even if the bride is dressed in cream, it would still be a huge breach of ettiquette and I can guarantee that you will be talked about not only at the wedding, but after as well. Only the bride should be in shades of white/cream.
I would buy a new dress and save your fun white dress for a night out.

Its generally bad etiquette to wear a colour that clsoe to the brides dress, after all white & cream do look very similar to the untrained eye! Save your white dress for another party :D Enjoy the wedding xx

No you cannot wear white to a wedding, even if the bride is wearing cream, especially if the bride is wearing cream. Also don't try adding colored accesories to the white dress; wear something else.

I really, really think it would be a bad idea.
My mother in law wore an off-white, lacy dress to my wedding. Honestly, it wasn't the end of the world for me, but it did hurt my feelings. Even if she didn't mean anything by it, the last thing a bride wants on her hectic wedding day is another thing to worry about. I wasn't only dealing with my feelings at that point either. My husband had to worry about apologizing for his mother's faux pas, my mother was offended on my behalf and got worked up about it, and my sister's both kept checking with me to make sure I was ok with it. Then I had friend's ask me about it during the reception. "Is that your mother in law?" "Are you ok that your mother in law wore white?" etc. etc. Here I had spent the last 10 months planning this wedding, and the first thing people wanted to talk to me about was my mother in law. It was very not cool.
So really, even though I'm sure your dress is adorable, please don't give this bride another thing to deal with. Even if she's ok with your wearing it, other people might not be and every person that asks her about it is taking a little piece of her wedding day away from her.

It is quite a daring thing to do. Two of my friends are getting married in Sept and she is a little worried because her mother is obsessed with wearing white on the day! I think it just takes the shine off of the bride, which is not a nice thing to do.

NO. Cream looks almost white in some lighting. And her dress needs to be the lightest colored dress there. Do not wear anything that could look white and certainly DO NOT wear white! You will look like you have no class and she will think you are so rude.
Do not wear white!
Do not wear white!
