Off-white dress for a wedding reception?

Janine · 08-24-2006, 11:26 AM

I love this off white dress that I'd like to wear to a wedding reception. Do you guys think it's inappropriate?

It's up to you, but I personally wouldn't. Off white is still close enough to white that it might be perceived as you trying to steal the bride's thunder.

i have to agree, especially if it is a more formal wedding

***sadhunni*** · 08-24-2006, 12:20 PM

i wouldnt. no matter what, it's still consider white.

Three out of three is a good enough # for me. I guess it's back to the malls this weekend

Thanks for the honest replies guys!

as a bride, id be LIVID. i was shopping with a friend for her bestfriends wedding, and I had to fight with her to keep her from buying a white dress to wear. the bride would have freaked.

No, no, no!! It is a bad idea

If I were a bride I would be furious

I wouldn't do it unless I disliked the bride. Just my opinion. I have only been to a handfull of wedding.

***pinkbundles*** · 08-24-2006, 01:43 PM

i personally wouldn't! i'll leave that for the bride and mother of the bride.

***Maja*** · 08-24-2006, 01:56 PM

I also wouldn't.

***jennycateyez*** · 08-24-2006, 03:09 PM

Janine · 08-24-2006, 03:21 PM

I have been told to never wear white to a wedding, unless you are over 70 years old.
