Is it acceptable to wear white/cream to a wedding!!

[TheDuchess]

My mother-in-law actually text me a couple of weeks before my wedding and asked if she could wear ivory As in a full outfit!

I thought I’ll compromise and say she could use ivory accessories but not a full on outfit!

She then text back saying she wasn’t wearing ivory anyway as she already had her outfit but she just wanted to see if I would have allowed her to!

Home_with_rose I mean she looks lovely but id be pissed off if she wore that to my wedding, someone even commented oh you look like a bride yourself, she thanked them


It's very older Bride like, she wore the skirt when she was a bridemaid

Oh that’s not on.

Anyone watch Derry Girls when Aunt Sarah was a guest and turned up in a proper wedding dress , very very funny .

If you wear head to toe white/ivory to a wedding, you’re a narcissist. End of story.

Definitely not acceptable to wear white to a wedding unless your the bride. I had a friend dress her little girl up in a white flower girl dress to my wedding. It was an actual flower girl dress that her daughter had worn to another wedding when she was one . It was so awkward even the photographer thought she was a flower girl. I however might wear white to sister in laws wedding as a protest as she is a total twat.

It's an unwritten rule you don't wear white to a wedding, nor do you wear the colour of the bridesmaids

Agree with the white, but how do you know what colour the bridesmaids dresses are going to be?

 

[Bossinglife]

Just searched her never heard of her but that is not on what she wore!

Wayyyyy to similar to the boho looking wedding dresses you get!

Could be worse, at least she wasn't the groom's mother

(future MIL is the one on the left)

Theres wearing white/cream to wedding then there is wearing an outfit that is bridal. Not on

 

[Noseyatnumber9]

Woken up this morning to the horror of an Instagrammer wearing a white flowy jewelled dress to someone else's wedding! If I was the bride I'm not sure I'd be too impressed, just me ??

 

[memoii11]

If it doesn't look like a wedding dress, I can't get worked up about it, though I wouldn't wear white or cream to a wedding personally. I definitely wouldn't have worn what she did, that is very bridal looking!

 

[Oohthedrama]

You’re all so polite
Rock up in this and get friendly with the photographer
it’s to only way.

There's so many dresses now, long, short etc all in lovely colours that wearing white or cream can easily be avoided.

Especially as the style for wedding dresses seems to be long/Boho almost maxi style that can be worn as a wedding dress if you wanted.

Why on earth you'd want to look like a bride on someone else's day I've no idea.

 

[Bossinglife]

Also I don't agree with white or cream at weddings in general!

 

[SavetheDrama]

Just no.
My MIL wanted to re-wear her own cream wedding suit to my wedding Apparently I was very demanding to ask her not to

 

[emmer_moans]

It is just not necessary to wear white or cream as a guest, there's just no excuse! Even if they bride ends up wearing anything other the white, it is usually a surprise! There are so many colours and outfit options out there there is just no excuse for choosing to wear the traditional bridal colour. Maybe one day the tradition will die out but it is just not worth potentially upsetting someone who is probably anxious to make the best memories of their special day.

My wedding dress was really really similar to what she’s wearing, I’ll be fuming if she turned up like that to my wedding.


My MIL purposely wore a nearly identical dress to my maid of honor (same colour too!). She had seen the dress before and she decided that she wanted to wear the same to be part of the bridal party. She looked ridiculous as she’s too big and old for that kind of dress. She made a fool of herself and it was one of the highlights of the day

I’d never heard of this instagramer so went to have a look. Read the comments expecting to see at least 1 commenting on the colour and didn’t see any. Now I see it is because she has deleted them.

I am tempted to just reply with “congratulations on your wedding, you looked so beautiful” just to see what would happen I mean, she has just said what a beautiful wedding, not that it wasn’t hers.

I remember going to a wedding as a kid and a girlfriend of a friend of the groom turned up for the reception in a little white lace mini dress, like inappropriate for a wedding even if it was different colour - the bride completely kicked off. It always stuck in my mind since then to never wear white to a wedding (and never wear a tiny mini dress)

 

[Kutikuti]

Lol I commented on her photo and got blocked and comment deleted

I’ve been blocked

She’s deleted all negative comments
If you are wearing white to a wedding you need to be prepared for criticism
