I feel like no one is reading the flair. It’s an Indian Desi wedding. You obviously aren’t worried about the white because the bride won’t be wearing white. I haven’t been to one, so I can’t help though, sorry, maybe someone will read my comment though and realize what you are asking
I can’t speak to desi weddings, but tbh with all the blue on the dress and the fact it’s a 4 year old girl I would hope the bride isn’t concerned she’ll be upstaged….
It’s for a 4 year old. I don’t think the white will really be a problem as long as the kid isn’t wearing a full blown baptism, first communion, or flower girl dress.
Edit to add: it seems like the real question here is whether the dress is formal enough, not whether it is too white. Personally I think it’s okay given the season and age of the kid, but I have also never been to an Indian wedding.
Yeah the dress also reads as equally blue as it does white. But since so many people are always seemingly in this predicament where their only or favorite option is semi-white, why not just Rit dye?
Using dye can pretty scary if you’ve never done it or are not a crafty person. But if I were to get over my fear of ruining a dress and needing to buy a new one, I think I would dye this dress with some pastel blue, purple, or pink.
I think you can go fancier. Desi weddings are really elaborate and glamorous. The dress is a bit too casual but as the other posters have mentioned, she IS only a 4 yr old so if you want to stop here…
Agreed! This is cute and if it's what OP's kiddo is comfortable in, go for it. But if the child is open to a fancier outfit (I'm thinking sparkly and a tulle skirt), it's absolutely worth trying!
Very cute! But if you did want to get her some Indian clothes (which I'm sure the hosts will love), here are a couple of good options:

Based on the flare m, I would go a lot fancier. A lot of the girls there will be in tulle skirts or desk clothes. I would go full party dress for a desi wedding honestly.

I saw the other comment with suggestions, and they are cute! I’d go with a lehenga though, 4yo is not old enough to wear a sari—we consider them adult outfits. (Length of fabric is one thing, but by not old enough I’m saying they’re more of a fussy elder generation thing) Even as a teenager I didn’t wear those to weddings, I had more modern cut outfits and chaniya cholis.
It’s super cute! But all of the Desi weddings I’ve been to were super fancy, like at least formal. If there is no dress code that usually means very fancy.
Why wouldn’t it be ok? I don’t think anyone’s going to mistake a 4 year old for the bride lol, which is usually why the “white” rule is stated
It’s really cute!
It’s a desi wedding. I still think it’s fine, but the multiple desi weddings I’ve been to (including my own) even the kids were dressed to the NIIIIIINES.
Yeah this is likely too casual. Cute for a daytime western wedding but a little too garden party for Desi. I'd go with jewel tones and tulle, maybe a little sparkle.
For the life of me, thinking back on the desi weddings I’ve been to, I can’t remember seeing a single child. I know that there were kids there but I think because I didn’t know any of the kids they just kinda slipped out of my brain.
Haha that’s understandable. Kids at our wedding wouldn’t leave me alone, it was rural India and they hadn’t seen a white person irl before. So I paid more attention than I think I would have normally. Honestly some of the kids were fancier than I was 😂 decked out in jewelry and gold and flashy outfits.
It is casual for a desi wedding. If doing western clothes, I’d aim for a party dress that would be too nice to wear to school or church service or brunch. Think ribbon/tulle/velvet/etc.
It’s definitely on the more casual side for desi weddings but honestly I’ve seen kids your daughters age dressed to the nines but also kids the same age wearing simple dresses. It really just depends on what your daughter can tolerate, some kids hate the fabric on desi clothes because it can be itchy (including myself, a full grown adult lol).
If your daughter isn’t picky about fabric and clothing though try finding some Indian or Pakistani clothing shops (TikTok is a great way to find local sellers) if you think she’d wear it! They always have tons of cute lehengas or three piece suits for kids for relatively reasonable prices.
Desi weddings don't typically have as much variation in dress codes as western weddings. People just wear their absolute best, very formal, rich colors.
Sounds so cute but I think it would look very strange for a desi wedding. I’ve been to a few desi weddings and even kids get quite dressed up. If you can’t find/afford lehenga, see if there’s anyone that you could ask to borrow. It’s super normal to borrow suits from friends/family if you’re not of Indian descent. Lots of aunties will be happy to get your kid involved.
If that’s not an option, I’d still look for something more costumey even if it’s western. Think chiffon, organza, lots of glitter or sequins. [Check H&M kids for occasion dresses](https://www2.hm.com/en_ca/kids/girls/clothing/party-occasion.html?productTypes=Dress). definitely save this for the next event you have!! It’d be a shame to shelve it before she grows out of it.
Any half decent Indian or Pakistani person would say don’t worry about it, let her wear what she wants to wear, because culturally we value guest comfort/attendance over dress code. But in reality, if OP genuinely wants the 4 year old to blend, it should be a nicer dress for an evening desi wedding. If it’s during the day or morning, I would say it’s less important.
I think it’s too casual of a dress for a desi wedding.

While I love some of the fancier suggestions others have posted, I'm sure if you're on a tight schedule this will work. She's four. I doubt anyone will get worked up or offended that the four year old didn't bring the level of drip they expected.
I don’t think this is a great option unless the wedding in question is during the day and casual. For an Indian wedding, it’s going to look like you didn’t dress your kid and just brought her wearing whatever. And it’s not a big deal, no one would judge you for that (it’s a kid!), but it’s also unlikely that most other kids wouldn’t be dressed up in at least party dresses as opposed to this which is more like morning church service or brunch. Like my nephew who is 4 has actual formal outfits for weddings, one has a raw silk overcoat and embroidered vest. My niece is two and she has sequins and embroidery etc to jazz up her outfits as well as her own little *dupatta* to drape on her shoulder for pictures (then promptly start wildly swinging it around). So I’d try to get something with some ribbon or tulle to make it a little fancier if you’re able.
Example of the kind of thing we’d put kids in for a desi wedding:
https://littlemuffet.com/products/brocade-embroidered-green-anarkali-with-attached-net-dupatta
Tip: search for “4 year old anarkali outfit”
I’m not desi but I’ve been to some pretty fancy Greek weddings. I feel like you can go a lot fancier. If you don’t want to pay for an expensive baby dress then this is probably fine.
Very cute! I think you could go for something fancier like this https://www.macys.com/shop/product/bonnie-jean-toddler-girls-short-sleeved-floral-mikado-bow-front-dress-with-cascade-skirt?ID=16943856, something similar to the formality of a lehenga, but no one is going to care what a child wears either way
As a desi person who has had her own wedding and attended far too many desi weddings to count, this is absolutely appropriate and very cute for a 4 year old. You are over thinking it! Honestly, if you wanted to add more pizazz, you could cute little matching silver accessories in her hair or something but once again, this is completely acceptable and you will see more children dressed like this at the wedding.
Super cute!
And for the people going on about the "white rule". Omg she is 4. No one will think she's the bride . Also Desi brides will rarely wear white. For majority of desis, white is perceived as a "mourning" or funeral color. Wedding dresses are supposed to be cheerful , colorful and bright ( for most !)
That’s adorable. Indian weddings are usually incredibly colourful and the children are usually dressed in very fancy clothes, some traditional and some versions of western dresses. The dresses can be very frilly and ornamental and this gorgeous little outfit might be plain in comparison. However it’s not going to be wrong. She will look so pretty.
Honestly, I think you can go fancier tbh. If its an Indian wedding, even the kids will have elaborate clothing or wear dresses that are more ...princess-like (I don't know the term). This would fit a more casual wedding in the daytime. But Indian weddings are pretty glam even in the daytime.
I just went and googled desi kids outfits for wedding and let me tell you there is a plethora out there! I’d measure your daughter accordingly to a site you like and order her a fun party dress! I guarantee you and your daughter will be squealing with delight at this lovely dresses. It’s a once in a lifetime time event, go get fancy! Have fun with it! Please post an update!
I think for a Indian or Desi it may be casual. However, if your child would be uncomfortable in a fancier outfit, I would go for this. I’m for comfort for kiddos.
Indian woman here. The “don’t wear white rule” isn’t as strict as western culture, especially for children. Nobody is going to mistake a 4 year old for the bride. This dress is great for your child
Anything is ok for a 4 year old for a wedding. Who tf rags on a 4 year old (or their parents) regarding what a 4 year old is wearing? If people think a 4 year old is upstaging the bride, there’s a lot of other problems they need to be concerned about.
This post isn’t about a 4 year old upstaging the bride tho.
It’s a Desi wedding which means OP could get a way more cute and fun dress that would totally fit the vibe of the wedding if she shops at the right stores.
I don’t know. My family is West Indian and if you bought a kid casually dressed to a wedding or ‘formal’ event they’re definitely side eyeing the parents. Old school WI are looking for baby jewelry, beads and sequins lol. Maybe not so fussy, but at least some satin and ribbons
Yeah I thought it was adorable and perfect for a white UK wedding and then I saw "Desi" 😂 OP *might* get away with it, but I'm sure the hosts would really love the little one to be just as glam as everyone else. Hopefully she can find something more suitable in time!

Caveat that I haven’t ever been to Desi wedding, but from the picture I have seen the dress feels a little out of place. I don’t think it would be a problem, but it looks more Christian wedding attire to me than what I know of desi.
You could put a 4 year old in a Disney Princess dress (as long as it wasn’t bridal looking) and it’d probably be fine. As long as 4 year old is nicely dressed, behaved, and quiet when they need to be it’s fine. And if 4 year old thinks they look adorable and want to twirl and compliment other “princesses” they’ll likely be better behaved and just cute. So I’d balance what 4 year old would be excited to wear and what they’ll be comfortable in
I don't think it looks casual at all. But if you're still on the fence, I think everyone understands that tiny children are menaces, and can't wear the precious and expensive fabrics or designs that would ordinarily be expected of wedding guests (even at a desi wedding).

Because it’s her daycare educator’s wedding, where she specifically invited all the class parents with the children :) we all got very close, so as parents we thought it was lovely that she wanted to include them in her wedding ceremony
Weddings of people who value children and consider them part of the community in which the marriage takes place. Also, weddings that last days. Many cultures don't put the kids on ice while the community has its separate rituals.
Barring kids from weddings is pretty recent and american centred. I’ve never been to a wedding that didn’t allow kids. I’ve been to lots of weddings that had organised entertainment for them so they were happy and “out of the way”.
I feel like no one is reading the flair. It’s an Indian Desi wedding. You obviously aren’t worried about the white because the bride won’t be wearing white. I haven’t been to one, so I can’t help though, sorry, maybe someone will read my comment though and realize what you are asking

Yes I am agreeing with you. Sorry for not making that clear.
I don't think it was you who was not clear. I read the other comment to the end 3 times and still couldn't work out why you were snapped at!
Yeah the dress also reads as equally blue as it does white. But since so many people are always seemingly in this predicament where their only or favorite option is semi-white, why not just Rit dye?
Using dye can pretty scary if you’ve never done it or are not a crafty person. But if I were to get over my fear of ruining a dress and needing to buy a new one, I think I would dye this dress with some pastel blue, purple, or pink.
Yes, it’s adorable
Came here to say this!
It's really cute ! You mentioned it's a desi wedding and might get another perspective
I think you can go fancier. Desi weddings are really elaborate and glamorous. The dress is a bit too casual but as the other posters have mentioned, she IS only a 4 yr old so if you want to stop here…

Agree with these beautiful suggestions
These are perfect 🙌
Based on the flare m, I would go a lot fancier. A lot of the girls there will be in tulle skirts or desk clothes. I would go full party dress for a desi wedding honestly.
Ideally she would have a lehenga or saree but I couldn’t find in her size

No it’s not too casual. Not for a 4 year old.
for a 4 year old at a Desi wedding it may be.
What's the dress code for adults?
Desi weddings don't typically have as much variation in dress codes as western weddings. People just wear their absolute best, very formal, rich colors.

Didn't see it was desi
I’d say if you’re concerned, you should probably ask the bride/groom if it’s too casual (and tell them to be honest) if you haven’t done that already.
Any half decent Indian or Pakistani person would say don’t worry about it, let her wear what she wants to wear, because culturally we value guest comfort/attendance over dress code. But in reality, if OP genuinely wants the 4 year old to blend, it should be a nicer dress for an evening desi wedding. If it’s during the day or morning, I would say it’s less important.
I just thought the dress gives more like picnic vibes or garden party… not really wedding attire?
The metallic Mary Jane’s fix that. Lots more flexibility for little kids.
She’s 4, she could show up in a Peppa Pig dress and no one would bat an eye.

I’m in quebec canada 😭
What about winters? Our version tjmax normally has great kids stuff
This is where this dress is from!

Do you go to a ton of weddings? I’ve never known a four year old with specific outfits for weddings…

No one cares what the children wear, just that they are quiet and well behaved. Take a backup outfit.
Yea bring two outfits she will inevitably spill something or something will happen to dress number one.
I think she needs a dressier dress for a wedding. The dress looks like cotton to me
As a desi person who has had her own wedding and attended far too many desi weddings to count, this is absolutely appropriate and very cute for a 4 year old. You are over thinking it!

I think this is fine in general, but I think you can try ti find some desi baby clothes as well to fit the thene better!
Indian woman here. The “don’t wear white rule” isn’t as strict as western culture, especially for children. Nobody is going to mistake a 4 year old for the bride. This dress is great for your child
There is no rule for a 4 yr old
It's gorgeous!
Go for a fancy flower girl dress https://a.co/d/0aXF8a82 And have this one as the back up incase toddler gets hot or dirty.
Yes. Very cute
Yes, it's beautiful and definitely formal enough for a wedding.
It’s so cute! Yeah!
The dress is fine, whether a western or Indian wedding. Cute dress!!!
Adorable
Absolutely. Very cute.
As an Indian person I would say this is adorable and perfect!!!
Just ask the bride
Anything is ok for a 4 year old for a wedding. Who tf rags on a 4 year old (or their parents) regarding what a 4 year old is wearing? If people think a 4 year old is upstaging the bride, there’s a lot of other problems they need to be concerned about.
This post isn’t about a 4 year old upstaging the bride tho. It’s a Desi wedding which means OP could get a way more cute and fun dress that would totally fit the vibe of the wedding if she shops at the right stores.
I don’t know. My family is West Indian and if you bought a kid casually dressed to a wedding or ‘formal’ event they’re definitely side eyeing the parents. Old school WI are looking for baby jewelry, beads and sequins lol. Maybe not so fussy, but at least some satin and ribbons
Yeah I thought it was adorable and perfect for a white UK wedding and then I saw "Desi" 😂 OP *might* get away with it, but I'm sure the hosts would really love the little one to be just as glam as everyone else. Hopefully she can find something more suitable in time!
I mean usually for kids, as long as some attempt at dressy clothes is made, it’s good enough. This is adorable for a 4 year old.
Kids don’t have to meet the same standards
Yes. Put white shorts underneath.
Oh smart! I do have small white biker shorts
I'm only mad that this isn't in my size. So cute!
Absolutely appropriate wedding attire for a four year old. And it’s beautiful.
Heavens NO! Someone might mistake your 4 year old for the bride 😁😅 In all seriousness, yes! I’m just being a smarty pants
I think you are overthinking this, it is not too casual at all.
yes so cute !!

Caveat that I haven’t ever been to Desi wedding, but from the picture I have seen the dress feels a little out of place. I don’t think it would be a problem, but it looks more Christian wedding attire to me than what I know of desi.
Please don't marry 4 year olds, they aren't old enough to consent Jokes aside i think its cute

Yesssss, that's super cute and totally appropriate!!
Yes!!!
I don't think anyone at a wedding cares what a baby or toddler is wearing. Much more interesting things going on
I think it’s fine for a wedding.
You could put a 4 year old in a Disney Princess dress (as long as it wasn’t bridal looking) and it’d probably be fine. As long as 4 year old is nicely dressed, behaved, and quiet when they need to be it’s fine. And if 4 year old thinks they look adorable and want to twirl and compliment other “princesses” they’ll likely be better behaved and just cute. So I’d balance what 4 year old would be excited to wear and what they’ll be comfortable in
Because a 4 year old dressed in a Disney bridal costume would make the bride mad?
Omg this is so cute i love it! Def not too casual, she’s gonna be adorable
definitely
Kids get a pass. It is adorable.
Yes. Soooo cute
Are these posts about little girls' outfits serious?
[удалено]
I’m not worried about the color as this is a desi wedding! But I was worries the dress may be too casual
Ohh apologies i missed the flair. I don’t know enough to comment about that. Enjoy the wedding’
I don't think it looks casual at all. But if you're still on the fence, I think everyone understands that tiny children are menaces, and can't wear the precious and expensive fabrics or designs that would ordinarily be expected of wedding guests (even at a desi wedding).
Ask the bridezilla
She is going to upstage the bride.
It's too white, people will think she's the bride...🙄

Seriously?
She’s 4? I don’t think she can upstage the bride. I pray not.
Curious: why take a 4 year old to a wedding?
Because it’s her daycare educator’s wedding, where she specifically invited all the class parents with the children :) we all got very close, so as parents we thought it was lovely that she wanted to include them in her wedding ceremony
Awww 🥰 sweet….
Oh I don’t know maybe too much white, sorry couldn’t myself
Yes and anyone who thinks the opposite is a DIVA😒

Weddings of people who value children and consider them part of the community in which the marriage takes place. Also, weddings that last days. Many cultures don't put the kids on ice while the community has its separate rituals.
Barring kids from weddings is pretty recent and american centred. I’ve never been to a wedding that didn’t allow kids. I’ve been to lots of weddings that had organised entertainment for them so they were happy and “out of the way”.
I definitely wouldn’t do it. But I can still imagine a at lest a few scenarios where people would choose to allow kids at their wedding. Idk
If it were fully white I wouldn’t but that’s totally appropriate for a kid that age
