wantacruise Posted April 3, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I know this isn't a cruise fashion question but, wanted some input just the same. I am going to a coworkers wedding in a few weeks--it is going to be a lakefront, outside, casual wedding. Will a white,sleevless, kneelength, sheath dress, with pink flowers embroidered on it be appropriate or is it still a fashion "no no" to wear white to a wedding? Thanks for any replys!

arkouda Posted April 3, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2004 According to Miss Manners <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>...is it still a fashion "no no"...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes. Pick up a nice pastel colored <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>sleevless, kneelength, sheath dress, with pink flowers embroidered<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> and you will look gorgious. Just my opinion...but then again I could be wrong. Regards, Lon To the sailing of the Glory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstewart Posted April 3, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I personally wouldn't wear white to a wedding (unless I was the one getting married). That's just my opinion, though. I think that white should be reserved for the bride. First cruise on Serenade of the Seas, 5/30/04! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissa76 Posted April 3, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I don't think it's a good idea!! If I were the bride, I'd definitely want to be the only one in white Melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dogmom Posted April 3, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I think that since your dress does have some pink to it, and the wedding is an outside casual event, I say it's fine. Would I wear it to a formal church wedding? No....JMO Till the girls sail on the Sovereign! Till the Brilliance!

mstewart Posted April 3, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Given that it's an informal wedding, I would be even LESS likely to wear white, as the bride's gown is even more likely to be informal as well.

trish1c Posted April 3, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 3, 2004 White to somebody else's wedding is tacky IMHO. You mentioned your dress has pink flowers. That could "save" it for this event. Can you wear it w/ pink shoes & maybe a pink wrap? I have worn cream to weddings but only after I was sure the bride was wearing pure snow white. It's really not fair to compete.

wantacruise Posted April 4, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Thanks for the replys! I'm not trying to compete with the bride in any way! Just trying to conserve $$ since I spent so much on ebay. LOL! I was hoping one dress would work for Easter,the wedding, and a non formal night on the cruise! I guess I'll use it for 2 out of 3! Thanks again! Sovereign of the Seas 6/00 Fascination 6/01 Fantasy 6/03 Sovereign 6/04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinsel57 Posted April 10, 2004 #9 Share Posted April 10, 2004 From Ask Jeeves... "Wearing white: since the popularization of the white wedding dress in the mid-19th century, women have avoided wearing white to a wedding, so that the bride might uniquely shine in her white wedding gown. While this rule, like the "no black dresses" rule, has since been rejected, a female guest should select carefully if she opts to wear white. Be careful to not select anything that might cause anyone to mistake you for the bride. Since current bridal fashions are sleeker than ever, and many older and second time brides dress in wedding suits, you might embarrass yourself (and the bride) in a white outfit. If you plan to wear white, choose carefully, and accessorize with color." tinsel57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantacruise Posted April 12, 2004 Author #10 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Ok, the dress is going back to the store. I had decided against wearing it to the wedding but, was going to keep it for Easter and cruise. However, I tried it on again at home and boy, even with a slip it is just too see through!!! Thanks for all the advice anyway! Marsha Sovereign of the Seas 6/00 Fascination 6/01 Fantasy 6/03 Sovereign 6/04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetMarie Posted April 13, 2004 #11 Share Posted April 13, 2004 For me, I would not wear white to a wedding. I feel that white is reserved for the bride. OUR NEXT ONWARD JOURNEY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted April 13, 2004 #12 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Although I think it would be wrong to try to upstage the bride, I don't think a dress would do that just because it's white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
