Can We Wear A White Dress To A Wedding Ceremony ?
176 years after the time of Queen Victoria, brides always wear white at their wedding. Few derogate from this tradition. The wedding dress is necessarily white. White represents the purity, virginity, and innocence of the bride.
In this regard, white color was reserved for the bride. No guest should prevent the bride from standing out and shining on her "big day.” The expert on marriage and couple, Agnes Walch has also said that “White remains the symbol not to borrow the bride if we do not to “steal her thunder”.
It's a special day for the bride. She must be the most beautiful! She deserves to shine and be the star in white.
It is a misstep to wear a white dress at a wedding, unless the decision is agreed with the bride, or that color is part of the theme.
A guest who presents himself in a white dress "Cannes Festival" would certainly make the bride uncomfortable. Moreover, it is often said that people who come to a wedding in a white dress has a bad intention: they want to draw attention.
The bride and groom are spending more on their big day. It would be unfair to ruin their special day.

However, while some people still think of reserving white for the bride as sacred and unchangeable, others do not see it as relevant anymore. Several people, including celebrities, ignore this principle without hesitation.
We remember Kate Middleton's dress at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding at St George's Chapel, in Windsor that generated a lot of controversy. The Duchess of Cambridge appeared in a cream wool silk tailored Alexander McQueen coat.
She herself was overshadowed by her own sister, Pippa Middleton, at her own wedding. It was Kate's big day, but the younger Middleton sister made heads turn in her divine white dress! The Anglo-Saxon tradition wants the bridesmaid to look like the bride. The Middleton dresses prove is that color doesn't matter really.
At the recent wedding of Beyonce's mother, and also of her sister Solange, or the union of rapper Kanye West and Kim Kardashian ... All the guests were all dressed in white (or black)!
So why is it bad to wear white at a wedding? It is so obvious to know who the bride is and so she is not likely to be confused. She walks in the alley with all eyes on her, she holds the bouquet, she has the fiance tied to her arm - all indications are that she is getting married.
Guests wedding outfits do not matter. What's important is your happiness on the big day. You should be happy that they have chosen to come and share her happy event. As long as they do not come to beach dress, unless they are invited to do so, you should not worry about what they are wearing.
You should focus more on the wedding ceremony and enjoy the day than to find out what color your guests wear! It's your day, not theirs, you'll have to make the most of it and not worrying about insignificant details. It's not like people are ignoring you.
If a guest arrived in a white dress (ivory, cream, etc.) that does not look like a wedding dress, then there is no reason to get upset. Is not it better to see a person dressed in a white dress, and puts a lot of effort into his outfit at a wedding than to see a person in very casual outfit (no effort for the big day of the bride and groom) ?
Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding
However, despite looking lovely, the Duchess choice of cream outfit definitely raised some eyebrows. Particularly since she didn't bother buying a new frock for her sister-in-law's big day, instead recycling an old favorite. She would have worn the dress three previous public engagements. She just completed her look with a pair of Jimmy Choos and a hat designed by Philip Treacy.
It all depends on to the choice of the bride, according to his own tastes and comfort level. This is the most important day of her life, so if a guest came with a white dress to her wedding, it's up to her to choose: to get angry with insignificant details or just ignore it.
