BoatBride2014, on June 28, 2013 at 10:22 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 71

My mom thinks we have gone off my rocker . I just love the clean, crisp, modern look of a all white affair. I even want my guest to where all white as well.

    No your not crazy. You can ask and you can wish for your guests to wear all white but without you paying for their clothing it wont happen.

    All White attire is required ! You wouldn't go to a all white party and wear blue,red,orange ! They would stick out like crazy bad.

    I would suggest they wear all white but some people may not have an all white outfit. Honestly I see your vision and seems really nice but don't you want to stand out lol. I'd shit bricks if someone showed up to my wedding in white. Smiley smile

    I get what you're aiming for, and it is your day, but ultimately I think MJ brings up a fair point in that your guests may not all completely abide (for instance, I doubt very many men have all white suits, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were some who didn't want to buy one just for this one event)

    It would definitely be crisp and clean looking, but I would be prepared and remember to not stress over the reality that guests are bound to throw some color in here and there.

    I think that'd be an interesting wedding and I'd wear a white-ish outfit but not fully white. I'd feel really uncomfortable being in all white because I'm clumsy. And especially if I had my period, I'm not wearing white on the bottom.

    Meredith. Your right. Men may wear white shirt and black pants but if my husband had to wear a white suit we would not buy one for a one time thing.

    Boatbride. I can't imagine anyone other than my employer telling me what to wear. I do understand tie being required for certain places.

    I totally get you want a certain look but you can't dictate what adults wear. Trust me at the end of the day it won't matter. Have your wedding party in the color you want and run with the idea there but I'd leave it alone with the guests.

    I think that's a cool idea. Do it. My friend's wedding had a lot of white and I thought it looked elegant, classy, and romantic all at the same time.

    Having the WP and you all white sure, making everyone else wear white well, don't be surprised if that doesn't fly. my wedding is probably the ONLY time you will catch me wearing all white and thats because some how a wedding dress has a way of making you look awesome lol otherwise no, I won't wear white. I would probably pass. I get the idea behind it but no I don't think it will work and I forsee you getting pissed at your guests.

    I like it! But I agree with the other ladies on you probably should just suggest it for the guest and not stress out if it doesn't happen

    I don't own a white dress, my husband doesn't own a white suit and if we were invited we would just decline. I don't like being told what to wear, so YES I would think you were crazy. I don't know why you wouldn't want to be the "stand-out" in your wedding.

    I agree with the other posters. You can't dictate what your guests wear as if they were props, and white will be a particularly difficult look to pull off. Most people simply don't own all white clothing, and they'd probably be extremely uncomfortable showing up to someone else's wedding in it.

    Guests are not landscape. They'll wear what they want. If what they wear is more important than who they are to you and the fact that they spent time and money to come to your wedding.....well...time to rethink your priorities.

    I never wear white. I wear black. I'm the minister. It's a perk.

    All white is classic and classy. It never goes out of style. You are NOT crazy; you are chic. Smiley smile

    We are doing a white wedding, too.

    Okay, I don't know about requiring guests to wear anything. When I hear "white wedding," I think of a classic look, where, yes, the bridal party is likely to be in mostly or all white or cream. Dont require the guests to wear anything specific, other than, say, mentioning (on the website, NEVER on the invitation) that whatever sort of attire is preferred, or requested. I'll be saying "formal day wear preferred."

    If this is truly your hearts desire, you will have to notify all your guest way in advance to give them time to be able to have something white to wear. Just keep in mind that not many guests will share your perception and still wear what they want. It wont be seamless, but I am sure that many will try to oblige.
