Guest colors

You can have a themed wedding, but you really can't require your guests to wear something very specific. I mean I guess you can ask for anything and kick people out who don't comply, but that would be rude.

I think if you pick a reasonable theme that most guests can easily do, it's fine. If you are overly specific or require guests to purchase something expensive that they don't own or wouldn't be able to easily wear again, that's where I think you should draw the line.

If you have specific colors in mind, I think those colors plus neutral options (like black, navy, gray, nude/tan, or white) is pretty reasonable because most will have a neutral color already in their closet if they don't want to buy something specific for that event.

I don’t see anything wrong with it!

View Quoted Comment I see it all the time where people will confuse etiquette and traditions. When they are 2 different things. Etiquette says that it isn't right to dictate what guests wear to your wedding, where as when it comes to tradition, traditionally the bride wears a white dress however you don't have to wear white, you can wear whatever color you choose. I see so many people on here talking about how etiquette is a thing of the past and old school and all I keep thinking is how they are confusing the 2.

View Quoted Comment Yes exactly!!!

View Quoted Comment You can request that. The last 3 weddings I went to or were a part of, had color request and people participated. Do you! It is your day! You do not look controlling nor is there anything wrong with that. If you have common colors then it should be a reasonable request. I made sure my colors were easy for the guest to coordinate or dress in.

View Quoted Comment I totally understand but I’m close with everyone that’s coming

View Quoted Comment Regardless of etiquette or tradition. It’s not against the law. She can chose to request this from HER guests. Who she knows and know her. If they get it and their OK with it it’s really none of your business to keep going on and on her post. You’re saying that this request is rude and obnoxious. However personally I find it very rude and definitely obnoxious of people to keep judging her and saying such negative comments. You have your opinion, you state it. If she doesn’t agree that’s ok. After that the appropriate thing to do is to leave it.

View Quoted Comment Thanks Jasmine

Nope o told my guest to only wear the colors of the wedding I want a certain look for my photos

I’m doing what I call traditional colors (not sure that’s even a thing lol)
White, blush, burgundy

Tbh no, it’s your wedding

View Quoted Comment Them colors are pretty

Tbh, no it’s your wedding

View Quoted Comment Thanks a lot

View Quoted Comment Totally agree

Not at all, it’s your day and people are going to want to be there regardless. My cousin asked everyone to wear black to her wedding no black and whit no added colors and everyone did just that ☺️

I would not attend a wedding that dictated what color I should wear. If you want me there, you want ME there, not whatever apparel you think I should be wearing. I’m not a prop to be used in your photos. I will show up dressed appropriately for the occasion, but my outfit is mine alone to pick, something that makes me comfortable to wear, not for you to look at.

Also in my opinion anyone that wouldn’t just go along with it, is probably not someone who doesn’t care enough about you to even be there. Like it’s extra, but so what. It’s your wedding, live it up!

Someone earlier said red is not a color for weddings, but I never knew that. I've worn red to a wedding before😨

I don’t think it’s too much. We are having a themed wedding and are asking guests to dress according to the theme. If they don’t want to Participate they can always stay home.
