Sage green dress drama - Bride

322 replies

lgcoopers · 19/12/2022 19:47

Bride wants me to send a picture over of what I've chosen

I must wear a dress that's sage green. So must DD and DS (wear sage green). DD has to wear a dress but is exempt (bride's words) from wearing ballet slippers because she isn't walking yet

The men must wear any suit colour but black, with a sage green tie.

AIBU to tell her I can't find anything in my size really that's sage green? Blush

She wants me to send pictures of what I've chosen for the kids before they turn up on the day

Coast have a sale on at the moment. They have some lovely dresses.

This is crazy. Also the photos aren't even going to look good for it, it will look bizarre. Do you know roughly how many guests are going?

Am I missing something here?

you are not in the bridal party yet you are being dictated to follow a very specific colour scheme, abs even if you buy a sage green dress, it has to be approved by the bridge?

Being a guest at Jennifer Lopez Afflec’s wedding would be more hadtje free.

Ethelfromnumber73 · 19/12/2022 20:19

Really hoping that some of the men turn up
In clown suits

Is this strange? Every wedding I have been too in the last decade had a colour theme. Not compulsory but it's nice to match or tone with the bridal party and general decor of the venue.

Helpmesortit · 19/12/2022 20:20

Have a look on ASOS @lgcoopers theres a good few!

Talk about Bridzella....can you do us a favour?

Can you take a picture of her face when some male guest brings a plus one that turns up in a bright red dress because they didn't get the stage green memo!!!

This is a sleeved version sort of like the Monsoon one you like further up and it's available in a size 16 www.yoursclothing.ie/luxe-curve-sage-green-sequin-embellished-maxi-dress-p?currency=EUR

I don't get it has the bride told every guest what colour to wear or just you and the other three friends op?

Love this. Can I ask, what dress size would you say she is? Very beautiful women but curious to know

No she isn't. Don't be paranoid.

Show quote history

I am not paronoid I am a size 10-12 I have been bigger and that’s how it feels. They make the dress in her size and bigger obviously there is a market for them.

I feel like it's a bit cheeky fucker to ask the bride for links? Surely as a guest I should put that effort in myself? Blush

Show quote history

Surely as a guest you can wear what you want? Not have to be dictated to!

I assume everyone

The wedding invites are ivory with sage green piping

The guests could all be turning up in the same dress!

It’s advertised as sage though. Maybe look at a hire place, a la Carrie Johnson?

@BatshitBanshee yes, green is an unlucky colour for an engagement ring and for a wedding outfit - my mamgu would be horrified! 😁

Likewise, here! Although being from the North it was my Nain who had a fit when I wanted my bridesmaids to wear green.

CavalierApproach · 19/12/2022 20:23

And actually, you could probably get the matching pillowcase for little DD

cushioncovers · 19/12/2022 20:24

How odd that every guest will be in ivory and or sage. Smile

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 19/12/2022 20:24

Is the wedding in the UK/are the couple in the UK? I’ve heard of it in other countries before but never in the UK
