Guest wears white wedding dress

View Quoted Comment Giggles, I hope do too!!

It would not have bothered me, sometimes you can't control the things people do. She knew that is wasn't proper etiquette. Everyone knew who really was the bride and probably stared or conversated about why the guest would do such a thing.

View Quoted Comment Agreed ! Nobody can mistake a bride !

Exactly!!

If you come to my wedding wearing a wedding dress or anything resembling a wedding dress, you are outta there, by brother will handle it. You are gone. That is disrespectful in my opinion and a slap in the face to the couple who invited you, so you will be escorted out.

If someone is wearing a solid all white dress or pantsuit, I would feel like that was spiteful (unless the bride was doing and all-white event). The majority of women in the western world know they should not wear white to a wedding. If they wore a black top with a white skirt or pants I would not trip, but wearing and all white dress to a wedding is petty and spiteful.

Nothing. Everyone knows who the bride is.

View Quoted Comment Would you kick her out? Is she suppose to go magically change into another dress? Talk about making a scene over something that doesn't matter.

I'm invited to a wedding in 2 weeks now will I go dressed in a solid all white dress. No. I'm sure if I showed up with a print top and a white skirt or pant the bride probably wouldn't care nor would I. But if a guest wears something to spitefully take attention away from the bride to me that's petty and shows a lack or respect and regard for the couples special day, which would translate (for me) that you will be leaving the event early.

Same here, you come to my wedding dressed like that and you are leaving 5 minutes after I spot you. She is attempting to upstage the bride. Why is she wearing a light colored dress that close to white with lace, beading and floor length. Come on now. You can clearly see what this chick is trying to do, it ain't rocket science.

If I paid someone hundreds of dollars for wedding photos, there will be nobody flooding around my ceremony or reception in a similar dress to the bride that will be capture in my wedding pictures. You will be escorted out. I'll assume this is a random plus one guest because if that was a friend of the bride or groom who showed up dressed like that, either the bride needs to rethink that friendship or grill her husband about the people he's calling his so-called friends. Chick looks bat-Sh&t crazy coming to a wedding dressed like that.

View Quoted Comment In my situation, she would be seen wearing it before the ceremony. There'd be no scene. But I probably wouldn't know about it until later. And yes, her and the person who brought her would be asked wtf, and probably would be asked to change before they left the house.

But if it wasn't seen until the reception, I'm sure my mother who is hosting our wedding would be offended. I wouldn't do anything, but someone else probably would.

Let's be clear this is a legit lace wedding gown, not a white dress.

Honestly, there's nothing that could be said. Many wedding guests probably looked down on that person, whispered about them, and will probably talk crap about them in the future. So they embarrassed themselves, no need for the bride to worry about it, she can just move on and be happy in her marriage

I was this bride...

My SIL wore her wedding dress. I literally rolled my eyes when I saw her walking down the aisle. It wasn't worth a fight she's just totally etiquette blind

View Quoted Comment Hahaha I didn't realize this was an old thread until rn. She was on tour literally all year and wasn't down to shop. She got to the US two days before the wedding and didnt feel like going shopping in Philly. She is a really sweet smart girl and I want a good relationship with her. She is just totally out of it with etiquette (had a potluck wedding sooooo yeah).

View Quoted Comment I mean...I think there’s a difference between black wedding wear and black funeral wear, so you’re probably fine!

That’s a really inappropriate thing for someone to do, but there isn’t anything you can actually do about it. Everyone else will judge them for it

It would not bother me one bit. I have always wondered why people get so upset when they feel as though a guest is trying to "out do" the bride. You are the bride and if it is that serious I would suggest you make sure that you are so radiant that no-one else could possibly be the center of attention. I probably would not even notice the person. Of course, you are not going to dress your bridesmaids in anything that will stand out more than the bride but as far as the guests goes, they are free to do as they please.

View Quoted Comment 🙌🏻 agree so much with this!

Wait... she wore a wedding dress?! Wtf does that??! LMBO 😂😂😂😂 I bet she got a lot of side eyes 🤣🤣

I would be annoyed but wouldnt let it ruin my day. Plus everyone else will look at her like a damn fool....so i would laugh about it later....

I think it's bad etiquette. If there is one rule about weddings, it's that you don't wear white if you're not the bride. But I would let it go and feel ok about it knowing that everyone else noticed too and is probably talking about her and she is just embarrassing herself.

Yes thats a insult. I would not wear white.
