Wedding guests - is it ever ok to wear.....

[milkwagon]

white? Not like a floaty wedding'y dress/bridesmaid but a knee length creamy-white based frock with a pretty pattern on it at the top? Would wear floral drape blazer over the top. Also, am pregnant so could get away with it, no? Opinions and thoughts please....

Another one who wouldn't wear white. It's the one colour you have to avoid, so plenty of choice left!

If the dress has an all-over pattern, no problem, but if it's just a wee bit of pattern around the top, then it's a no-no.

No. White to a wedding is very bad manners, ditto black. You could just about get away with cream if you had coloured accessories, and it was a very non bridal outfit.

I wore black to my brothers wedding as did many of the other women. His wedding was a small do at a fancy hotel in the winter. Luckily he didn't kick us all out for our fashion faux pas! I have also worn green to a wedding and nothing terrible happened.

Good heavens. I've worn black to weddings. No one has fallen out with me/thrown paint over me/spat on me as a result.
