To wear white on someone's wedding?
My cousin is getting married on the 23rd of august and I just got this amazing white and black gown that I rarely have the chance to put on.

Would you wear it?

I don't think wearing white is much of a problem these days. I like that dress, plus it is shorter than most bridal gowns so you shouldn't have a problem.

But if the bride and/or bridesmaid's dresses look anything like yours (like white with the black band) then I wouldn't wear it.

Personally, for myself I wouldn't wear a white dress to someone's wedding. Although if someone wore one to mine I wouldn't care. I just wouldn't wear white to someone's elses wedding without knowing how the bride would feel. I like the dress! It's very cute!!

My friend wore white to mine and it didn't bother me. It was a cute white sundress. Why don't u ask her if it's ok just to be sure?

I think it's a very cute dress...but I don't know it's appropriate for a wedding. But that's just my opinion.

I can see why you'd want to wear it -- it's totally adorable!

Personally I think it is a very cute dress. And it would not bother me if someone wore white to my wedding (as long as it was not a wedding dress, that would be plain weird) but I can see a lot of older folks thinking it was offensive. Not sure what your family is like, but if it was be I would pick another dress.

It's a cute dress but I still don't think it's okay for someone to wear white to a wedding. Call me traditional, but I kinda see it as disrespectful.

Well, I always say "When in doubt, throw it out" or in this case ask the bride what she thinks. If you are not close enough to the bride to ask and are not sure about the dress then just get something else.

Personally I wouldn't wear a white dress to someone's wedding because I know I wouldn't have wanted someone to wear one to mine. BUT like someone else said if you are close enough to her, ask her because she may not mind. I wanted to be the only one in white. Even though I'm not sure if the whole bride wearing white thing originally meant purity or not, there are rumors both ways about that, but to ME personally, that is what it meant for me. I wouldn't have felt like a bride on my day in anything but white. BUT more and more people are wearing everything but white on their day and that is totally cool. I just think white should be reserved for the Bride in case she wants the color since traditionally Brides wear white.


BUT if you really wanna wear the dress, I say ask her :) She may not care at all.

oh my :bbeek:
I really don't want to give that impression to her!
was it because of the white or because of the "sexy cut"?

Ask about it if you can - and if you can't perhaps wear it, but with a different color accessory (if the accessory is noticable enough to change the general look and feel of the dress).
For example I wouldn't mind someone wearing a white, short sundress, if it's with pink shoes and a pink wrap around or sash that covers a good part of the dress - same for black, which is normally a bad color for a wedding, if you add a LARGE touch of a different color, it goes.

my friend wore a really cute one to an outdoor spring wedding thinking it would be fine. she felt awkward the whole time and out of place. white is for the bride and although she may not mind white is still for her.

I wouldn't wear it if I were you. You run the risk of it being in really bad taste, and if you wear a different color you run no risk at all. I'm not wearing a white dress, but personally I'd be pretty pissed if someone wore white to my wedding. I guess especially since I'm not wearing white, it'd feel like that person was trying to distract from me.
