uninvite the witch....simple.
I'm suffering from a lack of patience tonight but I actually think it's disgusting that nobody else has told her! My neice commented she was wearing white to a wedding I told her that she shouldn't but the bride said she didnt mind. My h2b has actually said that if he sees anyone turn up in white he will show them the door before I see them lol
CommentAuthormym72
lmao - OMG does it actually matter????
YOU'RE the bride!!! She's wearing a white dress - big deal. It's not going to look like a wedding dress so she won't outshine you. Wedding dresses cost hundreds (or even thousands) - and I doubt she's spent that much on her white dress.
Mrswright2b - your dress is gorgeous (and huge lol) so one guest wearing a white dress won't take any attention from you. In fact, I doubt if any of the guests will even notice what she's wearing.
I don't care what colour any of my guests turn up in to our wedding - as long as they're comfortable and happy. If I was a guest at a wedding and had to be in the same clothes all day (and possibly the evening) I'd wear something that I felt comfortable in and I knew suited me. At the end of the day you can't expect guests to feel uncomfortable in what they're wearing just because it's white/ivory/same colour as bridesmaid etc.
CommentAuthorRags
Someone post not wanting people in their theme colours. I'd quite like it if all my guests were involved in that way, I think it would enhance my theme
I'm now a married woman
I have a gorgeous husband
Whats to do now
Theres no more wedding planning to do
CommentAuthorHoxxyhula
I'm quite relaxed about what people would wear to my wedding, and the only thing I would be a bit put out by would be someone wearing a fully white dress (apart from jeans and stuff). Not because I think it would out-shine my dress, but because it seems like a deliberately annoying thing to do as there are so many other colours to choose from. Also, it makes things weird as everyone point to them and says to you 'can you believe x wore a white dress?!'
As long as no-one wears what could be seen as a wedding dress to mine, I'm happy :)
CommentAuthorMrswright
I agree hoxxyhula it is seen as bad manners and insulting to the bride, any other coulour even the same as the bridesmaids is fine but white, really i do wonder about her .Hopefully my mil2b will do the dirty deed and tell her straight lol
CommentAuthorKerrylou
Well, you've got 1 of 2 choices - you either ring her and tell her you're annoyed about her wearing white and you would prefer her to have enough respect to buy herself a dress in a different colour OR you can sit and get peed off, hope someone else says something and get upset when no-one does and she turns up to the wedding in a white dress (sorry, that was rather blunt wasn't it) Another thing to remember is that just because WE know wedding ettiquette it doesn't mean to say that everyone does. Yup, I'd be annoyed if I were you, but then I'd say something to said cousin.
Someone turned up to my aunty's wedding in white (not that my aunty was bothered) but comment was passed that she looked ridiculous and as if she was trying to put herself on par with the Bride. You won't get any less attention and she'll end up looking like an eejit xxx
It's right what they say
"The course of true love never runs smoothly"
But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D
CommentAuthorKesha
I know how you feel, before the wedding I made a number of people change their outfit after they happened to mention it was cream/white. I couldnt understand why they would wear white or cream when there is a whole range of other colours to wear! They dont understand, I dont think most people do it on purpose they just think that your dress will stand out enough and the colour doesnt matter. You have to say something, you cant assume she should know these things. Many people in my family hadnt been to a wedding in over 20 years so they had no clue and used our colours as inspiration! I nearly had 100 guests in purple lol until I pointed out that if I had wanted them to match the bridal party I would have asked them to be in it! lol. Anyhoo on the day I had about 3 people turn up in cream dresses, on being 8 so I forgave her and she looked cute! The other 2 were adults but u know what, my dress was stunning and totally outshown their dresses just because of how it looked. Noone looked like me on my day, even if they did wear the same colour, its not just the dress that makes the outfit, everything about me was different, my hair, make up and jewellry and thats what made me look special. I dont think you should worry about it too much, guaranteed someone will slip through the net and come in white, on the day youll be too happy to care.

CommentAuthorSteffie
Oh dear!!! if it was me I'd tell her "No you're not!!!" On our invites I'm going to put a butterfly in the corner with colours that are acceptable to wear! However if her dress is white with a design on it in a nother colour, perhaps you can get around the dilemna x
CommentAuthorsarahuttley2b-[keera

CommentAuthorlizzyleek
People like that just P me off!! It's an unwritten rule the colours white/ivory/cream are reserved for the bride/bridal party only! How hard is it to not grasp this??? Just to add to your thread My mum is walking me down the aisle she turned up at my house a couple of weeks ago with her outfit for me to see....
It was bloody cream I went off my head lmao! I asked if she was being serious? she was I said you can not walk me down the aisle in the same bloody colours!!! Change the dress or someone else is walking me down there! lol
Good Luck xx
CommentAuthormym72
I disagree keeraella. People don't purposely wear white for a wedding to grab attention. It's a summer wedding for g ods sake!!! Would you turn up to a summer wedding in dark clothes? Maybe she wears a lot of cream/white and knows this colour suits her. You wear what suits you and like I said before, what you're comfortable in.
It isn't the poor guest's fault if the bridal party are paying more attention to what the guests are wearing than what really matters on the wedding day. Everyone here has bought the dream dress, 'the one' so why worry about what colour one of your guests is wearing???
And as for the comments about these people wearing white/cream and that they'll look stupid or bad in some way - think about it rationally. It's not them being bi tchy by picking these colours - it's you!!! Enjoy your wedding day, enjoy and cherish your vows (the most important part of the day) - and enjoy wearing 'the one'!!!! And remember, they're not trying to dress as brides or outdo you in any way - if you're so nasty to them why not go the full way and tell them not to come - that way you won't get upset at all on the day!!!!

CommentAuthorsarahuttley2b-[keera
guess we l just av 2 agree 2 disagree on that 1,maybe not every1 does it 4 attention but i think if u asked most people d agree u just dont turn up 2 a weddin in a white/cream dress.there r plenty of brite summery colours aswell so that aint really an excuse,n if its guna upset the bride she s got a rite 2 discuss it without bein called bitchy,u dont know the guest n rightly she could be a totally lovely person but there is a chance she s a total cow n if the bride aint happy she has a rite to talk about it,sorry if that seems nasty but things affect people in diff ways n dont think ny1 shud be made 2 feel bad about how they feel

CommentAuthorRelfy
Surely eveyone knows the white dress rule!!!! the last wedding i went to i wore a cream long sleeve dress type smock thing, with black leggings and i felt weird...... i would say something to her, failing that im sure a glass of red on the day would sort the problem out.... oh how bad am i.... but in all fairness, if you dont want to say something then get someone else to.... people have different opinoins about what is acceptable to wear at a wedding, for me, never wear white or the colour of the wedding dress nor the same colour as the bridesmaids dresses.......
My sister told her husband to wear a burgandy shirt to my wedding so he matched the bridal party.... the only thing he didnt have was the waist coat... she didnt realise that if i wanted him to be part of the bridal party then i would have asked him to.... you cant just decide to match everyone!!
Good luck getting it sorted xx
CommentAuthoreebeegeebee
my mother in law to be sprang on me yesterday that she's wearing a cream jacket over her purple dress, along with the ivory shoes and purse she worse to her own wedding. Still dealing with that one, but suitably fuming so know how you feel. Complain and make her wear something else, as that just isn't cool.
CommentAuthorCeCe
SHE will look like the 'desperate bride out do-er' ... let it go ...
CommentAuthormrs pinkalice
she must be doing it for attention, if not then why would she have told you what colour she is wearing already? maybe someone should politely inform her of the no-white rule lol x
