Non-brides in white

Our best man's sister wore a white body con dress to our wedding. I noticed, but it didn't really bother me and I didn't even think about it for 3 seconds before I moved onto something else. There's so much going on on your wedding day that what other people are wearing is one of the furthest things on your mind.

That being said, I'd never wear white to someone else's wedding.

It wouldn't ruin my day but it's definitely rude. They'll make themselves look bad so to me that's punishment enough

Sorry but where does it say guest can't wear white to a wedding !?!? I seriously doubt it will be a white wedding dress so there should not be confusion on who the bride is .

I had two people wear white to my wedding. At least one of those people, I know is not very well off, and it's quite possible her only nice dress was white. She actually asked if it was ok, and I said I didn't care, because I didn't want to make her feel bad if she couldn't afford to buy something else. And I truly didn't care. It doesn't matter, and did not take away from my enjoyment of the day at all.

I get to post this again.

Yeah it's tacky and classless. People should know better. My gown is blush so I don't really worry about people "stealing the show" if that were their motive, but I think it wouldn't be just me who would have a little bit of a skewed opinion on them if they showed up in white. So, the onus is on them.

In my circle we all know to avoid white to be respectful. I'm the first person in my circle to wear a colored wedding dress (black), so I went in knowing someone would be wearing black. Lots of people were. It didn't bother me at all. People knew I was the bride, considering I was the one at the alter.

It wouldn't ruin my day but I would be judgy AF.

Shrug.....as long as it doesn't look like a wedding dress who cares??? I wore a dress to a summer wedding that was white with huge navy blue flowers. I didn't feel inappropriate just because the background was white, because it looked NOTHING like a wedding dress. I don't think the bride should have a monopoly over the color, as long as no one wears something that could be confused for a wedding dress

I think this matters so much for about the style than the color. If someone is wearing a long white lacy dress to someone else's wedding, that's a bit much. A white blouse with a dark skirt? Who cares?

I've been to a wedding where the bridesmaids wore white as well as the bride and the dress code requested black white or red attire. A LOT of women were in white as it was a summer wedding but the bride stood out nevertheless. Great time too!

You right. Tacky af

If someone wears white to my wedding, I would think they are a bit odd, but I wouldn't cry over it. Everyone there knows who I am and knows I'm the one getting married.

There was someone in a white blouse and white skirt at our wedding. I'm pretty sure no one thought he was a bride. :-)

It's definitely weird imo. FMIL ordered a long lace ivory dress for our wedding and FH shot her down quickly lol. Even he has enough sense to know that's a big faux pas! I wouldn't cry but would definitely notice a guest in white.

I always feel bad for the women who wear white (obviously besides the bride). They know what they are doing but they seem desperate for attention.

Its rude for sure, but nothing to get upset over! I really don't think ill care if someone does it at my wedding (as long as I look better than them) Ha! just kidding... kind of.

I would side eye someone wearing an all white dress but I think some people take the no white thing to ridiculous levels. A white dress with a pattern or a non white dress with a white pattern shouldn't cause someone to melt down.

It is incredibly rude to wear white to a wedding. Of course, no one will confuse the bride with the guest, but that is not the point. It is disrespectful to the bride. If the only appropriate dress a guest has to wear to the wedding is white, the guest should cover up with a vest, shawl, etc. Otherwise, the guest is just being rude, and should expect that she is recognized for being rude.

Honestly, IMO, who cares? There are more important things in the world to worry about. I hope my guests dress however they want and are comfortable, and that they have an awesome time. Anyway, my dress is a gorgeous ball gown with frills at the hem, so I'm pretty sure no one is going to be wearing the same dress.

Besides, not everyone knows about wedding etiquette. I've been to all of three weddings in my life, and one of them was when I was very little. Thank goodness for WW or I would probably make a total mess of mine. Lol.
