Brides, How Would You Feel If...

Not impressed, mainly because I think everyone knows its a no go so I just think its quite disrespectful for someone to do it.

Wouldn't, and didn't, care a jot.

As long as they're not in a floor length white number and sporting a veil I couldn't give two hoots.

As long as it wasn't floor length I wouldn't mind.

To be honest though I think most other guests would be looking at her and wondering why she decided to wear white on someone else's wedding day and I would barely notice.

That's my outfit of choice. I do tend to get a few odd looks!

P.S. I wouldn't care at the time though or at my own wedding. I would notice more as a guest at someone elses wedding and think in my head that it was disrespectful. On my day I couldn't care less / doubt I'll notice what people wear / are wearing to be perfectly honest!

I don't think I could care less. I'm going to be the one in the OTT wedding dress.

Don't care at all. I think it should be obvious who the bride is. Although my sister once said if she wasn't a bridesmaid she would come in a weddign dress but I assume she was kidding! I agree with the person above who said they would notice more if they were a guest (sorry I can't quote). On my day as long as no-one is naked (it's Feb they'd freeze!) I couldn't give a stuff.

Couldn't give a hoot. More important things to worry about in your wedding day than what guests are wearing.

While I wouldn't personally wear white to someone else's wedding I wouldn't mind if someone wore it to mine, it's not like people will get mixed up as to who is the bride!

This!

If they rocked up to the alter just before me then I might get a bit peeved haha

Would'nt bother me. Not asif people would be confused as to who the bride is.

To be honest I'd be more upset if someone didn't bother to dress nicely, rather than the colour. If someone rocks up in jeans/tshirt/arse skimming minidress ...that would bother me more than white.

At the end of the day no one can outdo the bride!

In theory, I'd say it's a big no no. In practice, I don't remember who wore what at my wedding so really wouldn't/didn't care.

No one would know that it bothered me (i.e. I wouldn't acknowledge it) and as others have said it wouldn't detract from the bride, but I would assume that the person didn't respect me & OH enough to not wear white/ivory.

I may have someone doing just that out of spite actually!

Carrying on the recent trend for FSILs from hell, OH's youngest sis is not one of my 3 (all friends) BMs and she (unlike OH's other sis who understands why I have the BMs I do) has vowed to wear a long white dress. On finding this out from an angry FFIL, I've told him that she can do what she wants and to not worry as the result will be me not giving her the reaction she wants and all the other guests thinking she's very rude.

I wouldn't wear a white or ivory dress to a wedding.

THIS - I think everyone will know who the bride is! ?

This. I thought it would bother me but someone turned up in a cream/ivory dress and didn't bother me.

This.

This. The thought of it gets my backup, I think it is discourteous. I doubt I would realise on the day however or make a fuss if I did, I'm sure other people would do that instead

I don't think I noticed what half of my guests wore until I saw the photos.

If I was a guest and saw a fellow guest wear white/cream, I wouldn't like it

I didn't care - one of my friends wore an ivory maxi-dress. It was so obvious who the bride was.

Also, I went to a wedding where a bride said 'no-one is to wear white' and I told her I was going to come in my wedding dress because she was being a t!t.

I personally wouldn't wear white or black (but that's a whole different post lol) to someone's wedding, and would say now pre wedding I wouldn't like a guest to wear white. But like majority, it wouldbt ruin my day. But I think I would be entitled to have a grumble if it was a floor length maxi standing by me on the wedding pics ha But wouldnt loose sleep!

I wouldn't be fussed. However I think my parents would be...

I'm not sure I'm going to care too much about what anyone else wears, so long as they don't turn up in PJs! :p But other guests will notice...and I don't want mardiness around.

It wasnt until half way through our evening do I realised one of my oldest friends was wearing a cream lacy dress too!

a friend asked if the girl in the lace dress with the red curly hair pinned up was single. as this described me I laughed and told him he was a few hours too late. then he pointed out my friend!

I dont think i would have even noticed if he hadnt pointd it out!

The improtant thing is that my friend was there to celebrate with us!

Another friend was mortified that she had turned up in the same colour as the bridesmaids. again, didnt notice or give two hoots!

I'm not sure why it would be disrespectful. Like someone else said, it would be more disrespectful for them to rock up in jeans.

Haha Mrs Bass!

One my friends put as her facebook status quite a few months before the wedding:

'Is it acceptable to wear a light cream, knee length body con dress to a wedding?'

Quite a few people replied saying 'I don't think I would' etc.

I replied saying I thought it was absolutely fine - it's not like a body con dress is going to look like a wedding dress.

Her response? 'That's a relief Kate, it was for your wedding so if you don't mind, I will?'

Loved it.

Absolutely. I've seen/heard a couple of people say how they would march up to the person in question on the day and order them to get changed. First of all, ridiculous attitude. Second of all, there is absolutely no way one would notice unless it was pointed out.

Priorities and all that.

I don't think I'd notice - However....My sister who was supposed to be a BM but moaned about the colour choice has said she is wearing a white dress....My mum and myself have on several occasions told her she can't but she's insistent...

Don't think I'd mind TBH. White/ivory isn't an overly popular colour anyway, and as said before I'm the one in the big white number.

I'm far more concerned about the MIL's plans to wear top-to-toe black as she'll be mourning the loss of her son ?

has she actually said this?!

I wouldn't wear cream or white to a wedding personally but don't mind if someone does to mine...bigger fish to fry and all.

It's disgusting. I asked several of my guests who wore white or black to leave.
