I hate this, it is too cutesy, looks like something a preteen would wear, but answering the question you did ask, not too much white, no, but not at all appropriate for a black tie optional wedding.

Gorgeous dress, and I think it's fine, as the event is black tie OPTIONAL, not black tie

Yes, I would assume most would go super fancy in Louisiana.

This would be great for a summer daytime wedding, but absolutely not for black tie optional.

I haven’t been to weddings in Alexandria, but I have in other not-too-far-away cities/towns, and I agree that the dress, while lovely, is too casual.
I’d expect a black-tie-optional wedding in Alexandria to look a lot like one in DC, though probably with less black on the women. Younger women there won’t balk at wearing a black dress any longer, but their mothers might, especially in the spring/summer.

Lovely dress! I can say with total confidence that it would not be appropriate for a black tie wedding in DC or NYC or similar. Sometimes these things are regional, though...does black tie attire look different in Louisiana? More colors and patterns? I really don't know.

I think it would be perfect for an outside afternoon wedding but not evening black tie.

Okay, thank you all! It's linen so obviously not super formal, although I do believe it's a bit much for brunch at the club haha.
Dress is old Agua Bendita for the person who asked. I think I'll save it for a more casual wedding later in the summer.
And if anyone knows anything about the scene in Alexandria, LA and has a suggestion I'd love to see it!

Beautiful dress. I feel it may be too casual for black tie optional.
