Wearing White to a Wedding

[Belladonnamama]

Would you wear this dress to a wedding as a guest? Couple are in their 40s,getting married in a hotel, together years with two children.

No, definitely not.

Nice dress, but absolutely not.

No.

Definitely not! That’s basically a short wedding dress!

No I wouldn't. It wouldn't be worth the worry that someone might (irrationally) take offence or make a drama of it.

There are many thousands of other dresses you could choose from that wouldn't risk igniting something that might upset the couple on their wedding day.

Absolutely not!

No

Sorry no.

Nice dress though

No definitely not.

No way

No. I know traditions move on but wearing white as a guest at any wedding is always no.

If you have to ask you know the answer.

Not a chance. Totally inappropriate.

Definitely not

That's the kind of dress I'm looking at as the bride tbh

No way!

I'm pretty relaxed about white to weddings but yikes.

Thank you everyone. I agree that the dress is not acceptable. My friend has ordered it for our friend's wedding. I told her its not appropriate but she seems to think that because it's not a big white Catholic wedding ( we are Irish) that she can wear it.

Nope

Definitely not!
if it’s not a big formal wedding then maybe the bride has chosen to wear something less formal - something like this dress! 😲

Does your friend have some ongoing drama with the friend who's getting married?

That dress is a bit of a statement for a wedding guest. Kind of thing Joan Collins' character would do on ye olde Dynasty.

Absolutely not. Your friend will look an idiot and people will judge / gossip.

If your an ex who wants to shout out it should have been me.

Yes, then in the ‘any lawful impediment/ speak now or forever hold your peace’ bit, the wearer of the dress says something like, “you promised that you’d make an honest woman of me, and don’t forget that I own 20% of Denver Carrington!”.

Talk your friend out of it, OP!

No,no drama. She just thinks because it's more casual than the weddings we have attended in the past that it's not a big deal.

No

It’s not just white, it looks like the kind of dress someone older or having a small wedding might wear as a bridal gown.
