Tacky or Not - Wedding related

Background details: So on Friday, I went to a very casual wedding for some good friends of ours... the ceremony was short, dinner was catered Dino BBQ (yummmm!), and there was bocce, and croquet, but not much dancing...

The invite did say that dress was as casual as we wanted. I wore a blue sundress, DH wore khakis and a polo.... 

Tacky or Not scendario:

  A fiancee of a good friend of the groom's (not in my circle of friends), wore a short, pure white, sundress to the wedding... (the bride wore ivory). Is this tacky? I say yes, I dont care how casual the wedding is - ivory, champagne and white dresses should all be off limits...

 What do you all think?

  • I know wedding rules/ettiquette has loosened up, but I still would not wear white to a wedding

    Agreed. Three of K's teenage nieces wore white dresses to our wedding. In the scheme of things it's not a big deal but it does still annoy me a bit.

    Yep.  That would annoy me.

  • I don't know if tacky is the right word but stupid.  No white to weddings.  I could see maybe if it was white with a pattern but plain white is rude.

    Ditto!

  • I think it depends on the bride.  Personally, I would not wear anything close to white to another person's wedding.

     

  • Yeah that seems a little wrong to me.

    AGREED!

  • I suppose it really depends on the bride. I could have cared less what anyone wore. It's not like anyone was going to be confused who the bride was.
