I am pretty clueless about this sort of thing - I know white/cream is generally a no-no for wedding guests, but with this bold pattern? What do people think?

    I agree with pigpen.
    It's not white or cream at all - I think those 'rules' are for all white or cream.

    You could get some really fab accessories to go with that dress - it will look great.

    Hold on a minute.
    We want to know what colour shoes/sandals you're wearing.
    And are you wearing a hat or fascinator?
    And a jacket or cardigan?

    Sorry - I'm just nosy. ;)

    Well that's another question! I've got a lovely powdery pink jacket that goes with it perfectly, so wearing that. Then I've also got some lovely small heels, fascinator and clutch bag... but they're cream... so I'm not sure whether I should go and find some accessories in pink. If I don't do that then I plan to buy some craft feathers, either the same pink as the jacket or in bright pinks and purples, to stick in the fascinator! I'm just not sure if any extra cream would be overstepping the mark! :)

    I'd stick with the plain cream shoes and bag and jazz up the fascinator.

    I'm a very bright person so would have matched the vivid fuchsia or purple with sandals, bag, short cardi and fascinator - they are my colours.
    Powder pink sounds lovely (and probably much more elegant for a wedding TBH ;)).
    If the cream shoes & bag match the dress (it's hard to tell the colour - some creams can look white and some yellow against other creams) but if they're a match, I'd go with them. Small heels sound perfect.
    You could maybe buy a fascinator in a cream colour then go mad with various shades of pink and purple feathers.
    The dress is lovely, it wouldn't suit me as I have no waist and no hips but I do like the style.
    What brand is it? (being nosy again :D)

    ETA: I've just noticed you already have a cream fascinator.
    I think a few feathers and you're good to go. :)
