What's the big deal?

Question

Why do people have a problem with guests wearing white to a wedding? Please help me understand that.

Answer

Because no one is supposed to overshadow or outdo the bride and the considered her day to wear white. It's a bit silly IMO but that's tradition.

Answer

The fashion of wearing a white wedding dress started with Queen Victoria. Before that a bride would have a dress made in a color that complimented her, that she could wear for many years as they were usually expensive. But Queen Victoria wore a white dress to her wedding and changed Western bridal fashion forever. It became a symbol of purity.

It is tacky to wear white to the wedding, unless you are a child or virginal young lady. It is implying that you are as equally important as the bride, and could be considered flaunting your own purity. It is the one day that the bride has to be the complete center of attention, and any person showing competition for that attention is acting in very poor taste.

Gotta love those Victorians! 😉

Answer

Shouldnt match the bride. Common courtesy. You can wear white if the bride isnt.

Honestly, when I got married the last thing on my mind was what everyone else was wearing so it wouldn't really matter to me but I know for a lot of people it's a big deal.

Answer

Why do people feel the need to wear white on the one day they shouldn't... Not necessary.. Out of all the colours!

Answer

It's a tradition thing.

Answer

The brides tradition. Wedding etiquette, that's been around for a long time. You can't pinpoint where the tradition started but it's there. On the brides wedding day she's in a white dress she's the center of attention. It's only right to wear something else other then the bride.
