Requirement at the wedding ( guest must wear white)

View Quoted Comment I love New Orleans! Can you take me when you go again? What one would do for some beads lol . I know right everyone seem to think you have to follow traditional switch it up a little .. lighten up and think outside the box .. I’ll be sure to post them on here count down is coming ... I’m looking forward to them white trees ..

View Quoted Comment I wouldn’t ask you to change your request and I wouldn’t complain about shopping either. I buy a new dress for most events I go to. I say go with it. Not sure why it would be a big issue. I’ve thrown birthday parties for my sons and requested they come in costume (it was a costume party). We also bought some just in case someone came without since they invited the whole class. Everyone had a great time and no one complained. This is similar but costing you thousands more.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for understanding however I do see both sides but people fail to realize is I’m not making them come I just want everyone in my group picture ...

I feel you and I'm having an ALL WHITE wedding too. The only color is the wedding party and if they don't like it don't come. Not trying to be a bridezilla just request that everyone come in a color for one day for a few hours. Now if the shoe was on the other foot and it was requested to wear say blue, wear blue

SMH as a bride we have other things to worry about on the day. But trust I will be a little upset that someone wore a different color

View Quoted Comment I couldn’t agree more ... I bet yours would look just as nice . I am expected to have at least 150 guest if some drop out bc of a small “simple request” hey I’m not going get mad at all however I will be happy to save some money on the catering bill

View Quoted Comment Sorry to say but I don't own a single piece of white clothing *shrugs* most of my kids don't either. Not a color I like to wear

View Quoted Comment Oh okay you better get you some white I’m sure you will on your big day

I'll leave my opinion out of this because its your wedding but I do think that you have to think long and hard about if that is something you want to ask of your friends and family. If they are willing to go along with it than I think that's great and asking them to do it is wonderful. But if it might cause friction than I would just be cautious. I would hate for there to be friction because of it

View Quoted Comment Hi Alyssa

I think they will be fine .. they could wear what they have out of their closet .. no one asking them to go out and buy, if it’s not within their budget I would understand .. Sadly to say I’m from a city who will go broke just to look good E St Louis/St Louis they are well known for it besides I’m not forcing them to come.

You guys are forgetting something. It’s not rude to ask to have an all white or a black tie or all one color palette theme. A lot of people are saying this is not tradition or that is not tradition. Who’s to say. Plan your wedding according to what you want. Everyone else’s opinion on here is just that, an opinion. Have fun. Enjoy your planning. And your ceremony.

Another thing...you are paying for family and friends to come and witness your wedding. Asking them to wear a certain color or theme, they should be honored.

View Quoted Comment Agreed ..,. 💋

I feel you Mrs. Future Greenwood.

LOL LO LOL I feel the same way, that just means more food coming home with me. And less guest to visit at each table, more space on the dance floor and even more wedding cupcakes to keep to ourselves.

Just don't call me later asking for details they should have been there

View Quoted Comment Exactly I’m definitely doing a twist I don’t have to be like everyone else ..: whose to say the traditional way is the right way.? . don’t get me I am still doing traditional things I just want a group pic with all my guest

I think it’s a great idea! I would honestly be excited to go a find a white dress!! To me, it makes it even more exciting ♥️

I personally wouldn’t care, if a bride wants me to wear white I’ll wear it. I love theme parties and usually go all out for me and my FH so buying something white wouldn’t be any different. The only part we differ in opinion is not letting people in if they happen to show up not in white. It may be due to finances, forgetfulness, not liking their figure in white as it can be unforgiving. They are still your loved ones, white or no white, and will still be spending a decent amount to go to the wedding (gift, travel, hotel) Like most themed parties I’ve been to majority show up following that theme but there will be some who don’t and I’ve never seen anyone not allowed into those parties for that reason. I understand wanting your guest to look a certain way, (I will internally cringe if someone shows up in jeans to my wedding) but I will smile and move on. I just probably won’t print any pictures with anyone in jeans haha. At the end of the day you probably won’t even remember the small handful who show up not in white (just like I won’t ever those in jeans)

View Quoted Comment Yep HAhahaha they gone be asking all questions and all I’m going to say is you should have come to the wedding .. the crazy part is white not even expensive so it’s not like if they did go out and buy they about to spend a lot of money especially in the month of September bc according to “society”you not suppose to wear white after Labor Day .. whew thank God I don’t listen to people.. there is a such thing called “WINTER WHITE “

View Quoted Comment Yes ma’am it would for me too..

View Quoted Comment Now your response just made me change my mind about not letting one in bc I was thinking i will be mad but I will definitely look the options you stated 🤣😂😂🤣

I think it's one thing to have an optional dress code, ex. My Hs cousin had a 20s themed wedding. It was completely options and they'd never turn anyone away for not dressing in theme.
It's a completely different thing to set a mandatory extremely strict dress code and then send people away if they dont adhere to it. That's ridiculous. I've been to black tie weddings where people were underdressed, they'd NEVER be sent away.



Guests aren't props.
