Do people still think it's tacky to wear white to a wedding? I have a wedding to go to this weekend and I wanted to wear a pair of white dressy capris, turquoise fipflops, a cute white and black see through shirt with a black tank top underneath, and a turqoise belt!! I know at my wedding my father in laws wife was going to wear a white dress, just white, that she had wore to her own wedding, I thought that was a little tacky, but if I'm pairing my outfit with black and turqoise, do you think it's a big deal? I have a pair of black pants to wear but I really wanted to go more summery with the capris!!!

    I think its ok to wear the capris as long as your top isn't completely white. It's more of a "don't want to interfere with the white of the bride" than it is tacky. I wouldn't worry, nobody will mistake you, it'd be different if you were thinking of a white dress.

    I don't see any reason why wearing white to a summer wedding would be tacky! I say if it looks nice and it's obvious that you aren't trying to steal the brides thunder, go right ahead!

    I think it's a prefectly fine outfit! It's summery and it isn't solid white.
    A solid white dress would be tacky--because that's what the bride's wearing.

    ....now, if the bride is wearing white capris and a black top...you might want to reconsider!

    I think that if you were wearing ALL white that that would be tacky, but since you are wearing some color with it-you are safe. I just went to a wedding and wore white pants with a blue top and felt very comfortable.

    sounds perfect for a summer wedding as long as it is not all white.....

    another bride showed up at my wedding to say hi to my mother in law who couldn't make it to hers....:explode:

    I think you will be just fine in the putfit you described. Especially since it's Spring/Summer. Now if you were wearing all white, that might be seen as tacky.

    Dang, Sparkles, poor thing. Call your sister in law up and ask her if she'll do a do-over!
    :ohwell:
    LOL...I'm sure you looked beautiful and no one thought twice about it.

    I wore black to a wedding once....I don't think that was the right attire.

    I think that would look nice.
    Like Ali said, as long as you're not outdoing the bride, you are good to go.

    I think you will be fine... sounds like a cute outfit.

    I agree that I think the "white outfit" thing only applies to an ALL WHITE outfit.

    You are good go! Have fun! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    I wanted to add for Emily that beach weddings seem to be an exception... they are usually so casual and white is a common color at the beach. :bigsmile:

    I think capri's would be great! When I was 18 I did the dumbest thing when I couldn't find a thing to wear....I wore a white top and skirt!!! STUPID ME!!! I'm sure the bride will never forgive me...but I did it. ::sigh:: Oh well, if that's the worst thing I ever do.
