White gown to someone else's wedding!

I don't know if I would care if it was on my wedding day, because I honestly expect to have more important things to do. If it were at a friends wedding, there definitely would be several snarky remarks, maybe not directly to her, but in her hearing distance. I would expect my friends do the same at my wedding and what mna suggested would be epic.

My sister, mom, or best friend would "accidentally" spill very colorful things all over her...

Rude!

It's way too bridal looking IMO. I like @mna idea for the DJ. That would be great.

Yes! One of my aunts had to get with other one about the same thing. I'm mellow but hell no

Yes. Ew!

The woman my grandfather requested we let come for my divorced uncle to meet (he paid for her thankfully, but I'd never met the woman), chose to wear a white lace dress to our wedding. Pretty sure my BMs side eyed her the whole night. I didn't even notice until I looked back at pictures. She did give us $100, so no big deal, I guess.

I'd be pissed not because I'd be worried about her stealing the show on my day or something, but because I feel like a person has to look at a dress like that, and KNOW that it looks like they are wearing what could pass as bridal attire to someone else's wedding. I'd be left questioning their intentions.

I think wearing white at all to a wedding if you're not the bride is bad enough. But to wear a dress that is actually kinda bridal looking? Like, walk me through your thought process as you got ready for the event and walked out the door.

That's awful. Everyone knows you don't wear white to a wedding

I think the bride should be the only one wearing solid white at her wedding. My friends and I would definitely gossip about this lady later on because it's just common courtesy to avoid that color when attending weddings!

That's very bridal looking. I would side eye the fuck out of that.

@Katie - I had the exact same thought! I don't even like wine, but I'd probably be persuaded to have a glass in my hand for a reason such as this . . .

I personally find this dress completely tacky and inappropriate for someone else's wedding. And because I can be a B: I'd be kinda tempted to do the same thing on this gal's big day - imagine every single female guest coming in with a white floor length dress . . . He he he (I know, I know - two rudes don't make a right - but it's fun to scheme!)

It's so odd because I've seen so many people wearing white dresses to wedding either short or long but why white !! So annoying let the bride be the only one in a floor length white dress! Ugh

Side eye- but totally a none issue. don't care.

Why would you even want to be confused for the bride (like in this pic)?! I was watching a videographer's work today and saw the bride's MIL in a floor length white dress (sparkles around the waist). My first thought, "Oh, you THAT MIL huh." smh

You know what gets me the most - there isn't even an excuse for it. You can't say you didn't know. Everyone knows you don't do that. Even if you were born in the jungle and have never heard of the rule, it's common fucking sense.

So the act of deliberately choosing to ignore a very basic rule is, in my eyes, very passive aggressive.

I'm sorry, but I would be super upset. I really hope my loved ones have enough sense not to pull that kind of mess.

I can't imagine wearing white to someone else's wedding....that's awful

ETA: especially one that looks like it could be a casual bridal gown or reception dress

The thing is about the wearing white to the wedding -- I get that the bride doesn't have a monopoly on the color for the day, but she sort of does. It's not the end of the world, but it's rude.

If someone wore a white dress to my wedding, I wouldn't think they were going to upstage me unless they wore a wedding gown (like the chick in the picture -- that's bridal). However, I would wonder, considering how well known of a taboo it is, if she was trying to upset or offend me. It would feel like it was done to be provocative because everyone is well aware that wearing white to a wedding is a no-no. I'd be wondering why they were trying to make me upset.

I really admire those of you who say that it wouldn't bother you. You're a stronger woman than I am in that department. I would definitely care if someone did this. I wouldn't throw a fit and kick them out or anything, but I would totally side-eye the hell out of them.
