White at a wedding

Wearing all white would definitely be super disrespectful to the bride... I do however think that a different colored dress with white accents is okay!

That's too funny. The bride might be a little insecure if she felt disrespected by guests that bothered to show up wearing nice clothing and bringing a good gift. The point is to share in the joy of the occasion and provide a nice gift to get the home started. It's not a fashion show. But then, I would never attend a wedding of someone who might feel that way. All my friends are cool and self-confident.

I see your point, but I feel like wearing white to a wedding is rather obnoxious and unnecessary. However, it depends on whether or not the bride has an issue with it. In the end, this day is really about the couple getting married and not the guests.

If it was my wedding and someone else turned up in white, I'd be pretty ticked off, so I wouldn't do it myself!

That's providing it was a tradition Western wedding of course. If it was an Indian wedding, or the bride just wasn't wearing white for whatever reason, that it would be OK.

This is an excellent point. I would never wear white if the bride was wearing white. I have noticed that many brides are not even wearing white these days. Of course, I would probably never wear a white dress at all unless I was getting married. It is not the most flattering color, in my opinion.

i like tradition and superstition , i would never do it myself unless it was requested dress code or the bridesmaid dresses chosen by the bride.

i have had it happen at my wedding.. with the words ' do you mind if i wear white/ivory to your wedding? i dont wanna upstage you do i?' .. so i said yes sure wear what you like , you cant upstage me, im still gonna be the bride and i want everyone to be at their best, feel good about what they are wearing too.

BOY was i mistaken!!!

4 were wearing white dresses that would pass for wedding dresses the camera man and the photographer took a shine to them obviously because during the wedding and the reception after all the 'moments' you want recorded, exchanging vows rings the kiss cutting the cake the first dance and speeches were all missed as the cameras were scanning the church on the videos that were made and the venue for single ladies in white, there were hundreds of pics of them and a few of the wedding party including me and my hubby :mad:

my wedding was a disaster from start to finish anyway

if anyone wears white to your wedding they are doing it out of spite and biatchyness.. shun them! :explode:

i plan on wearing black or purple at my own wedding so I could give less of a fvck

I think people should wear what makes them comfortable honestly be it white or not

White dress? No. Just no.

White as one part of an outfit with other colors, would be OK.

The bride is the one who wears white as a wedding. Common courtesy.

Exactly this. However, I think the white- wedding -bride's -big- day- extravaganza is antiquated and trite anyways so....

I wouldn't. But I tend to like being a person who my friends actually like.

It might be "obnoxious" if it's a formal gown with a long train, and it might be "obnoxious" to wear torn-up jeans or dirty, nasty clothes, but a pretty dress? No. Not obnoxious. It's a kindness to be a guest at a wedding. Obnoxious is when you get drunk and throw up all over the bride or to spout racial epitaphs at other guests at the reception (actually happened to my friend's BFF).

On my wedding day, I was happy to see my friends and family dressing up and sharing in our joy. It's common courtesy to be thankful that they attended, even to send them notes thanking them. Guests at your wedding are your privilege, and you should be thankful that they came.

To me, worry over what your guests are wearing is "obnoxious."
