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.

If she wears it you have to come back and update us op on what happens.

The only person I could imagine wearing that dress to a wedding is the bride.

Absolutely not.

my Dad and SM had a wedding party after a wedding overseas and I still thought it was bad form that one guest worse a white cocktail dress.

It was off of her, definitely. My mum's sister wore a floor length white dress to my mum's wedding. I mean honestly. 🙄

@Belladonnamama
Christ, you're brave!
And how did that go?

No!

Your 'friend' is a total twat to be honest. That's a potential bridal dress no matter which way you dice it (as I've already said upthread it's the kind of thing I'm looking at as the ACTUAL bride at my wedding). Irrespective of the scale of the wedding it'd be wrong to wear that on so many levels.

It's a big deal.

It's a hard no.
Everyone will think you want to be the bride.

No. It's far too bridal. Does it come in another colour?

Yes dress comes in other similar styles and colours. I met friend this morning and told her about everybody's comments on here. She still thinks it's OK to wear it as she will accessorise with lots of gold 😕.

No

Then there's only one thing to do @Belladonnamama. Ask her for another look at it to make a final decision and then accidentally spill a cup of coffee over it.

Gold won't help! 😁

She'll get gossiped about less if she goes naked!
Absolutely batshit crazy to think that dress is acceptable.

Is your friend usually such an attention seeker, OP? That's how people will see her.

She's still wrong!

Seriously - show her this thread so she doesn't embarrass herself!

No- I wouldn't wear that!

In my early 20's, I wore a pale, beige, lace dress, knee length dress to a wedding. When I had the photos printed (in a shop in those days) the man said congrats, as assumed the pic of me and my then boyfriend, were wedding pics!!! That was beige, no way would I wear white! Tell your friend its a bad choice. 😳

That's the kind of dress that a bride might wear if having a small informal wedding. She will be thinking it's perfect and no one else would pick a white dress so she would be safe enough as she's not having the big white wedding with a more traditional long white

Nup. Its just a Rule! Don't wear white to weddings. Ever.

Sorry pressed post too soon.
Dress.
Though I have been a bit confused lately as I have seen few mothers of the bride on social media wearing white. The dresses are lovely but it seems a bit odd and don't understand why white and not say pale grey or other muted colour. I saw one and her dress was long and white at least ot looked white in the pictures and thought it was the bride at first.

Maybe this is a new trend

White, cream, grey, too much and too many I'm competing with the bride vibes.

No, it would be extreme attention seeking.

I'm not sure whether to caually say to the bride about our frirnds dress choice. I don't want to upset her but I also don't want her to be upset on her wedding day and ask me why I didn't tell her about friends white dress.
