All White

I wouldn't do that. Honestly I wouldn't go to a wedding if the bride said I had to wear a specific color and I wasn't in the wedding party. I look terrible in white and would never purchase something white to wear to someone else's wedding

No its your wedding and if thats what u prefer then go with it.....but u could suggest a splash of color of their choice just to let them have a little say so lollll😘😇

It's rude to tell anyone other than the wedding party what to wear.

Thank you all for your comments😊

My hair dresser did it actually. She requested (not demanded) everyone wear all white or khaki to her beach wedding. -shrug- I just wouldn't get all twinged up if someone comes in not white, but it is lovely if everyone does!

I agree with this. I don't think its rude. Particularly if you communicate it well and far in advance.

Long answer: It is considered a breach of etiquette to ask guests to dress in any specific dress code other than when it's a black tie event. That is an exception only because "black tie" conveys a lot more information about the event than just the dress code.

It is especially egregious when a hostess has the gall to prescribe a specific color, which may require her guests to purchase a new outfit for her wedding when they already have perfectly acceptable attire in their closet.

Short answer: Yes, it's wrong.

Thanks, my coordinator thinks it's a great idea! Really pretty for that time of year, which is August!

I know someone that attended a wedding where they had to wear some amount of pink. As a guest it'd probably throw me off, but I'd probably do it.

I want to add to that, people dress up for costume parties and themed parties all the time, so u less your requiring thier outfit to be a very specific outfit or price I don't see why it would be too big of a deal.

As long as you don't demand it and you're ok with some guests not wearing all white, I think this is fine. "We request, not require that you wear all white."

Personally I would not appreciate it as I don't wear white and wouldn't want to buy something for a wedding that I have no intention of wearing again (unless I am a bridesmaid). I'm not sure I agree with other people's thoughts about requesting/not requiring as no one wants to be the only person not wearing the "requested" color. I'd be more inclined to RSVP no to a wedding than I would be to not wear the requested color and stick out.

I attended a wedding where they requested us to wear all black. As a guest, I didn't mind it since I knew far enough in advance to plan our outfits.

I’ve heard of people doing things like a red wedding or black and white theme or such. To me it’s no different then having a black tie wedding or costume wedding such as Victorian or renasance just make sure to call it out on your invitation so people know and be understanding if they come dressed outside of your request some people won’t be able to afford buying specific clothes for one event they may not wear again.

I thought about this. It does sound so elegant!

It is a lot to ask of your guests though, and you might have to be prepaired for more declines.

I think you could solve that problem by asking people to wear not just white, but to have an element of white, or mostly white. Most people have something with white on it.

I think its fine - just give guests plenty of notice to find an outfit, and make sure that they are aware that it is not "mandatory"

I've seen it done numerous times. It depends on your group of people.

I think if you say something along the lines of "if you would like to feel more apart of our day white attire would be great" or something along those lines.
