Wedding colour

[MRTvw]

My brother in law (husbands brother) and his future wife are requesting that the family wear a particular colour in the wedding to match the bridal party.

I find it weird to be told I have to wear a certain colour, it's green which I don't ever wear and isn't part of my usual style / palette. I'm also confused as to why I have to be told what to wear why can't I wear what I want? The more I'm being told I need to wear green, the more it's annoying me.

Does anyone else relate? I know it's their wedding but they can't dictate what colour people wear surely? Never did that in my wedding. Just wanted people to be comfortable

Absolutely this ^^

I'd be a bit annoyed but probably see if I could make-do with some complementary accessories?

I don't go to a lot of weddings or formal occasions, but have one or two classic, good quality "wedding guest appropriate" dresses that suit me and I can accessorise well.

It'd annoy me to have to go out and buy or rent something new to me, when I likely wouldn't wear it again (and I had dresses in the wardrobe that could easily be used).

Saying that, I appreciate some people do buy a new outfit for every occasion and probably don't even think of the inconvenience.

If probably be eye rolling like mad , and there are many many shades of green that don't go at all with each other, so won't even look co ordinated . But then again if you wear a pink dress you will stand out as someone who doesn't give a shit and I couldn't do with that drama. If you were going to wear something you already had at least go for netural (black , cream etc with green accessories

It's weird and entitled of them but just a symptom of the instatiktok generation. They see these trends, mostly from the US, with super staged pictures online and want to replicate the moment.

More fool you!

They're getting married, they don't own the day or the guests.

This wouldn’t bother me.
