Aibu to wear a white cardigan, white shoes and white accessories to my friend's wedding. My dress is plain royal blue so obviously not wedding dressy. My shoes are admittedly my old bridesmaid shoes (white) and I'm not a bridesmaid this time. Aibu as my dress is in no way white?

Well I don't think white accessories will look particularly nice with a royal blue dress but I don't think it's an etiquette issue.

Agree with above poster.
White accessories fine for etiquette but can't really picture it looking ok?

elderflowergin · 11/07/2015 14:54

I think it sounds fine as long as the accessories match the dress, in style.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 11/07/2015 14:55

What's wrong with white and royal blue? Sounds fine to me.

TeenageMutantNinjaTurtle · 11/07/2015 14:56

Sounds fine to me too. And definitely not an etiquette issue.

pollypocket123 · 11/07/2015 14:56

Sounds absolutely fine to me! How can white not go with blue?!

mintpoppet · 11/07/2015 15:24

Errrr the white goes with the blue really well. Thanks.

Of course white and blue go together!

It'll look and be just right op.

CakeLady1 · 11/07/2015 15:41

Sounds lovely. Colours reversed (white dress, blue accessories) would be an etiquette issue.

MamaLazarou · 11/07/2015 15:43

Yes, it will be fine.

mintpoppet · 11/07/2015 15:44

Thanks.

Sounds good.
As long as it's not white stilletos with black tights a la 1980s!

mintpoppet · 11/07/2015 16:04

No its not 1980s! Thanks

Lol! That'll be ok then! :-)
But YABU for not having a thread about unreasonable Bridezilla wedding dress outfit demands like I was hoping for!

sizeup · 11/07/2015 16:49

Can someone explain why white with royal blue is apparently a no no?! I think it sounds fine!

frazmum · 11/07/2015 17:19

Almost bought a skirt in those colours today. Those colours look stunning together.

asmallandnoisymonkey · 11/07/2015 17:21

White and navy go really well together - in fact it's a combo I wear a lot. I also don't think that it would be unacceptable at a wedding!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/07/2015 17:22

Whilst I'm personally not a fan of royal blue, I honestly can't see why people think it won't be okay with white. It sounds fine, OP.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/07/2015 17:23

Where was your white cardigan from btw?

Mrsjayy · 11/07/2015 17:42

Whats wrong with white and blue Confused op its only the dress that is the thing if its white cardis etc is fine. I once saw a white lace jumpsuit at a wedding the trousers were so wide it looked like a weddingdress lots of comments the wearer was the grooms sister

asmallandnoisymonkey · 11/07/2015 19:42

Just realised it was royal blue, not navy - no idea where I got that from! I'm actually wearing a royal ish blue and white today. What weird comments earlier that white and blue don't go together. White goes with any colour!

WhyOWhyWouldYou · 11/07/2015 22:37

I think it'll look lovely and no etiquette issues.

As long as the cardigan isn't a long wrap around one that will cover the whole dress, then it's fine :)

mintpoppet · 12/07/2015 09:54

No its a normal length cardigan.
