Would you wear white to someone's wedding?

Original post by Lacey08

The reason I am asking this is because last night I was out with some friends looking for dresses to wear to a friends wedding that we're all attending this summer. One of my friends bought a white cocktail dress. It's very cute but I just don't think I can ever wear white to somebody's wedding. We all tried talking her out of it but she wouldn't change her mind.

What do you think? Would you ever wear a white dress to someone elses wedding?

Thanks girls! I'm trying to get my friend to realize this but it's like talking to a brick wall.

Nope and I hope she knows there will be some people looking at her and wondering why she would do that.

I told all of my friends that they can wear white. No one is going to say, 'hm... is that the bride in the little white cocktail dress, or the one in the big gown w/18 pounds of veil on her head...???'

No I wouldn't...there are plenty of other dresses and colors out there that you can save a white dress for another occasion.

NO! only if the wedding was a white themed wed and we we asked to wear white

If you were told to wear white by the bride then I think it's fine or if it's a white theme wedding. But to just wear white because you want to? I think that is wrong and tacky.

No.

I was at a wedding and an older woman, say, 50 years old, was wearing an off-white suit. She looked soooo out of place, and everyone was glaring at her and sneering all night. Probably helped by the fact that the blouse was unbuttoned waaaaay to low and the skirt was waaaaaay too short. The whole package just screamed, 'look at me!' And I think that's the only kind of woman who would wear white to a wedding. A 'look at me! ME ME ME!' kind of lady. Everyone knows it's wrong but she did it anyway. It's like the kids who misbehave in school - they crave attention, and even negative attention is better than none at all.

This is funny actually but my friends MOTHER IN LAW wore white to her wedding!



Obviously they dont have a good relationship and when FH said something to her about it she started getting really loud and yelling, 'It's not white - it is ivory!' and making a scene. It was totally one for the books...

No i would not, unless on the invite it said white theme and we were told to wear it.

only if the bride and groom stated it was like a black and white attire affair, but otherwise no.
