Couple requested guests wear the same color for wedding

[Anonymous]

OP it needs to be pure white. Given the fit issue, what do you think of separates? I know you said a dress is more comfortable. I'm trying to think of versatility after the wedding. Is that something you're interested in?

If not, find a pure white dress you like.

Again, I think the monochrome thing is a neat idea. It's not an imposition. I just didn't know how white the attire is supposed to be. I see bright colors plus white aren't what's expected.

Does anyone know if white background with very mild colors is ok? I'm trying to figure out which dresses are a possibility. My bust size is about 6 dress sizes larger than the rest of me. Finding a dress is a challenge.

I would wear as little color as possible. The point of all white is the impact in the photos. If you are the only one with pink or yellow flowers over your dress, you will stand out in the photos. There are always so many beautiful white dresses in the summer, I'm sure there is something all white you can find that you like. I think the only color that is ok would be a very light tan/beige as an accent only.

I went to a white wedding and that dress wouldn't work. Everyone wore solid white and the few people that had some color on their outfits stuck out all night.

I had never seen anything like it, all in white, even the photographer. It was actually visually striking.

And yes, a huge imposition. Unlike the bride, I'm sure the guests haven't been working out and eating right for months, and getting their makeup done so they can look fabulous in their dress which took months to pick out.

However; it does lend a sort of cameraderie; it's a uniform, if you think about it, and tends to do what uniforms do in terms of the mental inclusiveness state of mind.

I am glad you are putting on a game face and going. I think that this situation calls for either doing it or not showing up. If someone showed up in, say, red, it not only wrecks the visual, but makes the person in red pop out, not the bride. Yikes. This makes me think that that kind of request really leaves the bride vulnerable on her day to be the center of attention.

Again, I am sympathetic and do not think this is a great idea but glad you are trying to comply.

OP, agree entirely with bold. There are wedding haters out there. Don't be one. Not that it occurred to you, but some PP's are all hate. I like the sheath posted upthread.

It's the new trend. Until it's not.

We went to a wedding where it was requested that guests wear one of two colors. I happened to already have a dress in one of the colors thank goodness.

Does anyone else think it is poor form to demand anything of the guests? Especially something so specific? "But my photos!" Wow.

OP already stated she is large-chested. Most people are posting links to dresses that are clearly for small-chested women. Anyone can find a white dress online, but most of those are going to work on OP.

I suggest you find a white knit top to wear with a white skirt.

IMO, a white wedding sounds neat but very few people look good in white so there will definitely be people are are uncomfortable because they know they don't look their best.
