The dress is fantastic, MG! Wear it, wear it, wear it!

CP's rules are pretty correct - no white, but anything else goes.

And for me, I tend to get a bit of a stick up my ass about this sort of thing in the opposite direction. If the dress was a big enough deal that it would be shocking, horrible, or worse, ruin any friendships, well, then screw them for being a bride-zilla, mom-zilla or whatever else.

But that's just me, and I understand your concern. I have been in a similar position (which caused my current opinion).
