Is 'dont wear white for a wedding' known about other than on here?

I've always known it's not the thing to do but now I wonder if I read it on here - been here a looooong time!

I only ask because my DD's MIL is apparently wearing predominantly white for their wedding and DD thinks she doesnt know it's inappropriate. DD does know but possibly from listening to me!

FWIW neither of us are particularly bothered - I dont think it's like one of those MILs you see in the DM where it looks like an actual wedding dress but I wonder if other guests will be a bit 😯

She’s not in the photo?
She wasn’t invited.

I did once have an acquaintance who commented on it every time she saw a guest wearing white at a wedding. She once even approached someone wearing white at a wedding and told her it wasn't the done thing. That was weird and awkward. I would never wear white at a wedding anyway, but especially not if that acquaintance was there!

Telling a guest their clothing is inappropriate is a far worse faux pas than wearing white. Etiquette is suppose to make people comfortable, not a stick to beat them with.

I think it was a joke 😁

Oops, sorry!! ☺️
(I still don’t get it though, probably just me😅)

Isn't it daft. My former manager got married in a beautiful long spring-green dress. I'm guessing she's not superstitious, and the marriage seems to have held so far... 😄
