Is it acceptable to wear a white top to a wedding?

[pootlepod]

Having great difficulty finding something I like to a wedding, have bought a green skirt and an off-white hippy top to go with it. Now worried that it's taboo to do the white thing at a wedding.

Serenity you just put pay to my only other skirt colour...oh poo! I'll have to go shopping!

I thought green was unlucky but didn't like to say!

Only if it's not the same colour as the bridesmaids, Socci

I went to a friends weeding and there was a girl there who had less on than most people would wera clubbing, in fact I nick-named her 'the bad-ass stripper'. I didn't feel guilty when a friend of hers actually informed me that she had cut the dress down that morning as it was 'too long' it barely covered her bottom. TBH I think a white shirt would be fine. I didn't realise green was bad luck

God, I've broken so many dress codes at weddings without realising!

At dp's cousin's wedding, great effort was made to wear an unsual shade of pink for the bridesmaids. Really posh wedding. We, however, were completely skint, and unaware of this colour code (being related to the groom). So I took myself to Oxfam and bought a really nice Monsson dress, and of course, it was identical in colour and cut to the bridesmaids.

Also have worn my own wedding dress to about 5 weddings now. But only because it is the only dress I can wear when 7 months pregnant. And its not a bridal gown at all, its just from Monsoon.

And if I am NOT wearing the same colour as the bridesmaids, or my own wedding dress, I usually wear green because it is my favourite colour.

I'm really hoping I haven't been offending people. I love going to weddings!

I'm sure the bride will be far to stressed/overexcited to worry about what people are wearing. I don't think a white top would cause anyone problems, I agree that an all over white ensemble is pushing it a bit though. The only time I've ever been gobsmacked at what some ones worn to a wedding was at my DBro's. His best man had brought his (fairly new) gf and she was wearing thigh high pink stilleto boots, matching pink suede mini skirt and a flimsy backless top. My DBro and SIL might not have noticed but everyone else did. She looked lovely for a club, just not very weddingy.

Blimey, looks like I'll be wearing my pants and vest at this rate! Didn't know green was unlucky. But I have worn green to 2 weddings and they're all still married. I'm a redhead so can't really do many other colours.

Feel happier about the top now, and it's not really a dressy top so def. won't be mistaken for the bride even if I wore a tiara and had a bouquet!

Sweetheart,
Be rest assured, I'm not going to have a 'boil-in-the-bag' baby
DS is only going to wear the whole suit for the actual ceremony and some photos, his waist coat and cravat will come off straight after. I'll prob change him completely in the afternoon at some point.

My sister's wedding dress was green! Don't know about bad luck but they've been married 14 years.

i wore a white top to my brother's wedding a few weeks ago - no problems!

mostof the men had white shirts on so whats the difference?

Didn't Plum Sykes the fashion writer go to her sister's wedding in her own wedding dress - the wedding had been broken off a few days before it was meant to go ahead - dyed black? Or was that the sister?

god yes

I remember that, now that was rude.....p'ed a few family memebers off as well iirc.

what are you on about?! of course it's ok!! enjoy!
