Non-brides in white

I really don't think its a big deal. It isn't like someone is going to mistake the bride for someone else.

Some people think it isn't a big deal, but I definitely think it is super disrespectful, and I would side-eye the shit out of any guest who did that.

But I also wouldn't cry because somebody did. That is absolute 0 of something I as the bride would care about on my wedding day.

It looks bad on the guest. If someone wore white to my wedding, I certainly wouldn't cry about it. Side eye? Yes for sure.

I didn't wear a white wedding gown. I don't remember the last time I've seen a bride even wear white.

It's rude because everyone knows you shouldn't. A woman who wears white to another person's wedding is making a conscious decision to match the bride, it's so bizarre. Someone wore a long WHITE LACE dress to my sister's wedding a few years ago...I almost died.

I side eye wearing white to a wedding, but I don't even know if anyone wore white at my wedding. It was the last thing on my mind.

I don't think I would cry (but maybe I would), but I would definitely get upset!

Prob even kick the person out. Sorry. They can go back home to change and freely come back (prob won't but eh).

The last 2 weddings i've been to (mine and a friends), there was someone wearing white. i just think this is a rule that isn't hard and fast anymore and doesn't really matter anyways. and like PPs said, it people side-eye the person wearing white and the person only. so whatever

Well, I'm a bride in black, so I don't give a crap who wears white because it definitely ain't me. Lol

I mean I'd judge someone for wearing white, it's rude. But no way would I be so upset I'd cry about it... that's so dramatic.

I have to say I think brides are bringing this on themselves.. It used to be that guests could count on the bride wearing white or ivory and everyone knew to avoid those two colors. Nowadays, brides wear white, ivory, blush, blue, lavender, black , grey. floral prints, etc. No one knows what colors are off limits anymore.

Even Emily Post said it's ok to wear white to a wedding.

ETA I would never do it myself,but I also wouldn't waste any time or energy getting upset at someone who did.

I saw this at a wedding and thought it was really tacky. I would hope that people would know better, but I guess that there are enough who don't. Would I pleased if it happened at my wedding? Nope but I wouldn't be throwing a fit, there would be some definite side eye though. It says more about the person who does it anyways.

I would be irritated but I don't think I would cry. I hope people at my wedding have enough sense to not wear white or ivory.

My sister also went to a wedding where the photographer and coordinator were both in white or ivory and she was mad for the bride lol. I guess we are just judgemental.

Ehhhh, I guess I can see how it's disrespectful, and I wouldn't do it, but I think this isn't the faux pas it used to be be. (And wearing black to a wedding used to be a faux pas too, but I see that all the time now!) Personally I wouldn't care if someone wore white to mine. It's not like anyone could mistake who the bride is (or in my case, brides) ;-) And if someone wore a full-length, white, wedding-dress-look-a-like? Well, then they would look silly, and people would be side-eyeing them. So yeah, not something I would do or recommend, but this wouldn't be something that would make me lose respect for someone else.

I wouldn't have a meltdown over it but its 100% RUDE AF.

My SIL (DH's brother's wife) chose to wear her reception dress to our wedding (white evening gown).

I wasn't upset about it. I thought it reflected more on her than me.

My cousin wore a long light cream dress to mine and tbh I didn't even notice until my friends asked who she was because they were majorly judging her. With that being said, I would NEVER wear white to a wedding that wasn't mine.

I think it's super rude, but I wouldn't cry over it.

I'm very conscious of it when I'm picking out an outfit to wear to a wedding. I won't wear white, ivory, champagne, or blush because I don't want to match the bride's wedding gown color. It just looks bad.

I never understand this either! It definitely makes the person look rude and tacky AF. Idk if I would cry, I guess it depends how emotional I was that day, or stressed. But I definitely think it is ridiculous. There are so many colors, don't be a jerk!
