Do you think it's rude for guest to wear white

My friend came to stay with me when her friend was getting married in town. She walked out of her room in a white Formal dress and I was appalled. I don't think I would be upset if it was a white cotton dress from like...Old Navy but I think overall it's best if everyone steers clear of it.

I personally don't care. I'm either wearing a short white dress or a short sequinned silver dress either way I think I'll be the only on there with blue hair, so I'm good. I think I wore black to both of the weddings I went to, but that's cause I have a lot of black in my wardrobe. I wouldn't do it to another cause everyone gets pissy over stupid stuff, but I wouldn't mind it myself.

Everyone knows unless this is an all white affair only the bride wears white. IDK why people try to act like they don't know this unspoken rule SMH

People are actually calling you and asking what to wear? Strange.

I don't really get why anyone cares about this when there is so much other offensive behaviour they could choose...... I see white and black dresses at wedding every week.

It's pretty interesting what customs people choose to cherry pick for their lists of "Hell Nos".....like cash bars are fine, but don't wear white.......

It's definitely a dick move. I wouldn't get very upset if it was a casual short white dress with not a lot of detailing, but if it's a long dress with lace and rhinestones and the like.... not going to lie, I would be fucking annoyed as shit. This does not include white dresses with prints/other colors on it. Also white cardigans are fine in my opinion. My FMIL texted me the other night a picture of her dress that she ordered (it's navy) but the first picture I saw was a floor length ivory dress! I was LIVID. It took FH a solid 5 minutes to calm me down and tell me to scroll down and see that there was a navy option. Boy, did I feel silly. Bottom line, yeah it's a dick move. But ultimately it's your day, and this is but a minuscule blip in the grand scheme of things.

A couple of my friends have asked me if they can wear a dress that has a little bit of white in it ( ex. A black dress with white pockadots) that is very tasteful in my opinion but i agree with most of the other ladies the only person who should be wearing all white or white as the primary color of the dress is the bride. That is what i have said to any guest that has asked..which arent many but there has been a few.

I think it's rude. Even if the bride says she doesn't care, it's one thing I can't justify. Just be honest (and firm!) with your guests about your wishes

Who cares what they wear? If anyone is confused who the bride is, you have bigger issues than monitoring the dress code.

I didn't care. I didn't notice what anyone else was wearing that day.

fuck, I didn't notice that a GM wore the wrong color shirt. Not a big deal.

With it being summer soon, I'd imagine people are trying to dress appropriately for the weather too, so that they are comfortable.

If it bothers you, tell them not to wear it.

I don't get what the big deal is though.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me why this bothers them so much other than "tradition" and etiquette. lol

No one will confuse who the bride is.

The nutcase who wears a similar to bridal gown will be laughed at by the other guests anyway.

And to me this boils down to "I am the bride and no one can infringe upon my brideness on this day".

I said that in the other thread about this today.

Granted I would not wear white to a wedding because I don't even look good in white. But I seriously did not notice or care who wore what.

I don't care so much if they have white in their outfit but if you specifically wear a white dress to a wedding I'd be annoyed about that. Everyone knows only the bride should wear a white dress its like an unspoken rule, and I definitely would not put it on my invites!

I would never wear white to someone's wedding.

Thanks ladies for the advice. FH aunt wants to wear a floor length white gown and she will be escorted in. I wouldn't care if she had a sun dress or Old Navy dress and wasn't escorted. Trying to keep the peace and ho with the flow has become chaotic.

Lol ho is supposed to be go.. I needed that laugh..

I think it's super tacky to wear a white dress as a guest. Why would this even cross any woman's mind to think it's ok?

Also, if you feel compelled to ask the bride if your outfit choice is ok...it's probably not.

I was at a wedding last weekend.. two members of grooms immediate family wore white sun dresses (no patterns or other colors, just white).. I wasn't even the bride, and I was annoyed. But the bride seemed to have a great time!

I actually didn't know it was an unspoken rule. I don't wear all white anyway, but I've worn a while strapless cotton dress that had black flowers on it to weddings. Oh, well.

I personally don't care. Clearly, the bride is the bride. She doesn't own white and most probably aren't virgins or direct descendants of Queen Victoria.

I wore an ivory lace dress, and my SIL ended up wearing an ivory lace dress. I didn't care. Clearly I was the one getting married.

Edited for spelling.

I would hate if someone wore white to my wedding.
