🚨 BRIDEZILLA ALLERT🚨

yes I'm talking about myself!! I'm going to own my ridiculous new found bridezillaness.

Ok so, how can I politely tell people not to wear white to my wedding? I'm aware it sounds ludicrous to some people that a bride should dictate what their guest wear but I find it soooo passive aggressive to wear white to someone's wedding! My dad's girlfriend wore a lovely πŸ™„ white dress to my sister's wedding and I low key Spent the full day and night sending my nieces and nephews over to her with sticky dirty chocolatey hands (yes i know I'm ridiculous) she even posed with my sister's bouquet which nearly tipped me over the edge πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ I love my dad's girlfriend but I just think it's awful to wear white to another persons wedding! There is so any other colours to choose from!
Anyway! I 100% know I won't be able to hold my tongue or hide my facial expressions if someone turns up wearing white!! (Again I know I'm being ridiculous but I can't help it)

I'm thinking of dropping subtle hints into conversations and the odd fb meme!!

Ahhh why do planning weddings make people crazy??

Suspect that’s the distinguishing factor. This of of us who would be bothered are probably the ones who would invite close friends/family who we value and stay in touch with.

Surely it would be the opposite?

  1. Someone close to you who you love and care for deeply wears a white summer dress, you wouldn’t notice or care.
  2. A friend of a friend or a colleague’s plus one tries to upstage you by wearing something white and very noticeable - this makes the bride angry.

Personally I don’t get why people would care either way, but that’s just me. I can’t imagine having people at a wedding that I was worried might try and wear something inappropriate on purpose or that I’d be embarrassed of.

Not everyone reads MumsNet and therefore knows white is unacceptable at a wedding. Not everyone thinks an instruction on an invite applies to them. I'm not sure you can control people
