Sage green dress drama - Bride

[lgcoopers]

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?

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

I agree with the PP who suggested throwing sage instead of confetti. You could start a trend.

Not a real green dress-that’s cruel! Seriously, pay no attention to Bridezilla. There’s no need for new clothes for every or any occasion.

It's either a wedding, or a still from Midsommar.

That's terrible.

Wasn't wearing green to a wedding considered a bad omen?
Not sure of why, mind...

Yeah, I just wouldn't go if the bride told me what to wear when I was just a guest. Why do people getting married think their wedding is so pencil to their guests? Short of family and BFFs, most are just going our of politeness aren't they?

Some links to lovely dresses, but I can only imagine photos of every guest in sage green would look insipid. Perhaps she is going to wear pink and wants to look like a rose amongst a mass of foliage.

I can't believe she's now changed her mind on the sage! But still making demands (dresses for the women). Seriously I can't believe you'd been so relaxed about it in the first place.

Pencil? Special obviously

😂😂😂 excellent use of your time

It seems people are being encouraged to do this.

"But how do you pull it off? Whether it's an all-white wedding you're after, or you'd simply prefer for your guests to sport blue at your beach wedding, you'll have to put in a little extra effort to make sure your ceremony is monochromatic. (Pro tip: It'll pay off in spades with gorgeous wedding photos and just a generally stylish, elegant and curated vibe.)

Oh, and if you're nervous about seeming over-demanding about your dress code request, don't be. Your wedding should be your vision, and there's a way to go about it so you don't put people off with your request."

I genuinely don't understand this idea of weddings. The fact that "it's your special day" so you should feel no shame demanding any level of expenditure and effort from the people you invite. It's not something you'd encourage in a young child having a birthday party. It's lovely for people you care about to celebrate your big life event, but it's not going to be the most important thing going on in their lives. I've got a few outfits that do for weddings, a not unlimited budget, and many, many more important things to spend money on.

The union of two KKK members

Has she lost her actual mind
like fuck would she be saying what my kids were wearing unless they were bridesmaids or page boys
get your dd a nice smocked babygro and put ds in a shirt and braces
Who does she think she is Kimmy k

If she really wants a theme in green? For you and the children? 'Oh so pleased, have the perfect dresses been dying to wear!'

Way too much time on my hands!!!!

The problem with a request like that is there are a million shades of sage green. She sounds a nightmare tbh.

@MichelleScarn Tinkerbell and Peter Pan outfits would also work!

This is beautiful 🥰

My emerald green velvet jumpsuit will be perfect.

World's gone bloody mad.

"Curated", bah!

Way back when, when my peer group was marrying the invitations generally said something along the lines of "X and X request the honour of your presence" and the implication was that they were honoured that you would take the time to attend and celebrate with them. Now it seems that the 'happy couple' feel that the guests should be the ones to feel honoured by being allowed to attend and be willing to jump through whatever hoops they desire to to do. If I'd been told what colour to wear, I'd have shown up in ripped white jeans and a sage green Twisted Sister T-shirt.

I am so glad my days of attending weddings are over.

I’m selling a sage green dress if that’s any good?

If someone told me what to wear for their wedding they would be doing without my company.

I think any woman who considers it reasonable to dictate what colours her guests wear isn't mature enough to be tying the knot, anyway.

African weddings often have this idea..to pick a colour for the wedding so far I’ve had to source, a lime green dress and ties for my husband.. a khaki dress.. for my own I was asked to choose a colour and I said pink as most women have something floral with pink in it..,
