Grooms Grandmother bought a cream dress for wedding

How do they NOT know that?!

I definitely think wearing white is inappropriate for weddings- however, I think after a certain point- selections for Grandmothers get slim :/. Mine wore a creamy beige color with a pretty scarf (she hates her neck) for my brothers wedding and in pictures it looked very pretty bc it did not look white at all. Have you seen it yet?

How does anyone not know that? I'd be more than annoyed since she'll be in the pictures. It wouldn't be so bad if it were just a guest who showed up, but come on grandma! Get with the program already...

Its the Grandma, I don't think its that big of a deal. While it might not be something that you prefer, don't let it ruin your day. If it was you FMIL then I would think she did it on purpose, Grandma's don't think like that.

But seriously... Cream is cream, I don't consider that as bad as wearing white. I'd let it go.

Nobody will confuse grandma with a bride. You should be fine

My Grandmother wore a cream sparkly number for my sisters wedding and it was fine. I'm assuming she will wear her dress for mine will be just as flashy. Try not to worry about it, in the grand scheme of things it won't be a big deal and grandmothers tend to be stubborn anyways =]

The wedding is in six months, she at least has time to attempt to look for something else. I do feel bad. I won't throw a fit or anything if she ends of wearing it. but kinda feel like of all the colors she could have chosen it had to be a shade of white? And again, she has done this before. I wouldnt care if it were a guest, but I feel like mothers and grandmothers really shouldnt.

I was just at a wedding a few weeks ago and the colors were black and white. One mom wore black and the other wore white. I thought it looked fantastic.

My mom is wearing a champagne dress. Its rather sexy and elegant, and I can't wait to see her in it!!!! I think we'll look gorgeous in pics together. Let grandma wear cream.....

Perspective: my grandmother passed away July 2013. If it meant she could be with me on my wedding day, I'd let her wear whatever she wanted.

Like others have said, no one is going to confuse her with the bride. She won't be in every single picture either.Get her a very colorful corsage and call it a day.

One of my colors is champagne so my mother is wearing a mesh almost steal colored dress and my sister is wearing champagne. I think as long as it's not the same shade as your dress, you should be okay

Make her wear something over it like a cardigan or a scarf. That is annoying but like others have said...she will look like a grandma not a bride.

Like I said, I didnt make a big deal over it, or say she couldnt wear it, just mentioned that you really arent supposed to wear white to a wedding. I was just more surprised that they didnt know. we had literally just went to a wedding the night before, and I know they have been to plenty of them.

I can't believe someone hasn't heard that before, I agree with the ladies above I don't think it will be a big deal. All eyes will be on you that day. Maybe you can buy her a pretty scarf as a gift for her to wear at the wedding to add some color to the dress and it may help hide some of the cream color. Either way I wouldn't worry about it.

So that is completely ridiculous that they would claim they had never heard of that before.

And, I will admit that I would not be happy.

But, I will say that that "rule" is becoming less and less popular or acknowledged. And there are some pretty darker cream dresses out there that Ive seen look great in pictures on the moms, the bridesmaids, and even the grandmothers.

Oh. I mean, I knew white was a no-go, but I actually suggested creams and beiges. I think it'll be a nice neutral. She could have picked electric pink and green zebra print. That would have clashed more.

If I were to ask someone what color I should be wearing to their wedding and they told me their colors were purple and cream I would pretty much take that as I should be wearing purple or cream. I think having the mothers and grandmothers wearing a neutral color to the wedding looks awesome. My mother is wearing a beige color and my mother in law has been looking for a champagne colored dress.

I don't see the issue here. It's not like she's going to stand you up or anything. I'd get over it and move on.
