Dialogue: Guests in White

Anytime I went to a wedding I always felt inappropriate wearing white out of disrespect to the bride. On last week's episode of Real Housewives of New York City (yes, I watch all the Real Housewives), one of the women had a conversation with her friends about two of the other women on the show who wore white to the wedding they all attended.

I first saw their dresses and thought, those are pretty dresses! Then when the wearing-white-at-a-wedding topic came up in the show, I thought, "Oh, yeah, they are wearing white! How terrible!"

This also got me thinking, I didn't even notice anyone wearing white if they did for my wedding. I had better things to think about. My groomsmen wore white tuxes and I felt like it only complimented me. Also, who really notices and who is really that important that they can steal the thunder from the bride? (unless that person is a celebrity)

My question for you brides-to-be is how do you feel about people, guests or bridal party, wearing white on your wedding day? How much white in an outfit is okay? (ex. like in prints) Or do you care at all?

The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels. - Revelation 3:5
