I'm with you. Oh well.... if people in your social/family circle KNOW it's rude, then they KNOW it's rude. End of discussion.

Oh, my mother for SURE would take care of this issue.... she has a very dry and understated way of stating exactly what needs to be said.........

I personally think it is rude to wear white on someone else wedding day, but I wouldn't say anything, just try to forget about it and have a great day!

I thought it would make me upset, but really that person will look tacky enough on her own.

That's so funny lol. yeesh

Tacky... But I wouldn't say anything, she would be the one getting weird looks from everyone else

I wouldnt care, its my day, shes the one who will get all the stares and bad looks.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. I won't be wearing white and they are the one that will look silly for trying to look like a bride

IMO I don't think it's cool at all to do that. There is a whole rainbow of colors to choose from for wedding guest attire, just don't do white - it's simple!

I probably would have said something to her because that is waayyy tacky to me.

Id have them escorted out and not even bother speaking or ever inviting that guest to any other function. Wearing white to a wedding is one thing, you could eventually get over that but to have your guest allow their date to wear a WHITE DRESS TO YOUR WEDDING? WHAT EFFIN PLANET ARE THEY LIVING ON? Its inconsiderate to other peoples feelings on such a special day.

When greeting guests I would say something like, "Oh look, we match!" when I got to her. I wouldn't let it ruin my day but I wouldn't be happy about it so I would get in my petty comment.

I wouldn’t DO anything but I’d think it’s pretty pathetic that someone would be so petty to wear that. Although I’m picturing a full on wedding dress and maybe that wasn’t the case. Either way it’s the guest looking foolish and not the bride so I wouldn’t bother myself with it.

It is so encouraging to know that so many brides would acknowledge the faux pas and look past it to enjoy their wedding. You are all wonderfully patient and forgiving women! I would have her escorted out.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much for this remark. It recently came to my attention that guests aren’t supposed to wear white to weddings. Several summers ago I went to a few weddings and wore the same dress to all of them. It was a white tea length dress and I threw a short button down lavender sweater over it. When I look back at the pics, the white dress is the most prominent thing you see on me. I am SO MORTIFIED. I literally did not know. No one said anything to me either. I honestly did not notice what anyone else wore to my wedding and I would not have cared if someone wore white! I feel just awful to think that people were looking at me and judging me when I was completely oblivious.

It is very disrespectful, but I do not think anything can be done. I do think giving everyone a plus one increases the chance of this happening. You end up with random people.

I would be polite, and probably feel sorry for someone who is that desperate for attention that they would do that

View Quoted Comment I wouldn’t stress about it (ok, I would because I’m always stressing), for one thing a colored sweater can definitely downplay the whole thing, and just as you said, those brides probably never even noticed. Worst case, some mean-spirited girls may have whispered or thrown you a side-eye, but their cattiness is ultimately worse than your error. I’m sure your real friends and loved ones thought nothing of it, or understood it was just a mistake. It would be lovely if people could give each other the benefit of the doubt.

Also I have a ‘frenemy’ of sorts who thought she was going to be one of my bridesmaids and got mad when she wasn’t. She ended up finding out the color of my bridesmaids dresses and matched them exactly. I would’ve been less mad if she’d worn white, lol. But then again knowing her it would’ve been intentional- really the intent behind the faux-pas is what irks me, honest mistakes are just that.
