As weddings continue to evolve, the golden rule of not wearing white to a wedding always applies. Even though there are some unique dress codes and themes at weddings, it is only reserved for the bride and groom to be wearing white. It would be considered rude and inconsiderate if any guests were wearing white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the unsaid rule of the culture at weddings, because wearing any sort of white or ivory would upstage and could even upset the bride. I suggest staying away from any outfits or patterns that are white, cream, or ivory. Unless the bride and groom specifically ask<\/em> for guests to wear white outfits, then that is allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If an outfit has a subtle white pattern or white as a small accent color, then that is fine to wear. If you are questioning whether an outfit looks too white, then that means it probably is too white. Do not be afraid to get some second opinions from friends and family to see what they think of the color. If no one thinks it is white, you got a winner. If they are on the fence, then I suggest picking something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, if guests cannot wear white, who can?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am glad you asked. The main couple, obviously, can wear white as they set the tone for the whole wedding and can wear white or wear a different color if they want to. With that being said, some couples are going for a white-look wedding party and even asking their parents to coordinate their outfits with the bride, groom, and wedding party. If the couple decides that they are not wearing white, then they will tell all their guests<\/em> if they approve of guests wearing white, especially if they are wearing a non-traditional color, which is becoming more popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has become more common for the to-be-weds to ask their wedding party to wear white, especially a creamy shade, which is very sleek and polished. Some brides will allow their bridesmaids to choose a dress shade and color based on a white palette. If this is you, make sure to run your picks for bridesmaids dresses by the couple so they do not disapprove of the dress on the day of the wedding.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
