All too often, the Let Them Eat Cake team is asked too many wedding etiquette questions to answer in one post. We dedicate one day a week to the subject in Wediquette Wednesday, but this week, we are devoting every day to frequently asked wedding etiquette, or wediquette, questions.
Today, I ask resident wedding etiquette expert – and New Orleans Bride magazine editor – Melanie Warner Spencer a question that has long been debated: Is it ever OK to wear white to a wedding?
Melanie says:
Unless you are the bride (or groom who has chosen white) or the couple has asked you to wear white — either as a member of the wedding party or a guest (think Solange Knowles’ New Orleans nuptials to Alan Ferguson) – then no, it is not OK to wear white to a wedding. The conventional wisdom is that it will appear to be an effort to upstage the bride or couple.
