On your wedding day, would you care if a guest wore white or something showy?

I was looking at wedding attire etiquette and I learned things I never had heard before.

One rule I did already knew was that women who attend the wedding are not supposed to wear white. I did not know this until my own wedding.

Also, I knew to take into account whatever the invitation says in terms of formal, cocktail, etc.

The article I read also mentioned that women attending the event should try to not wear a color that is featured in the wedding. So, if the bridesmaids are wearing pink and you are not a bridesmaid, you should avoid wearing pink. One way to guess what color might be taboo is the invitation supposedly might hint to the color scheme. I never thought about this before.

The recommendations also said don’t wear a flashy or skimpy dress, and not a lot of beading or glitz. Also, don’t wear red. It practically said don’t look too good.

All of these rules are so a guest doesn’t draw attention away from the bride or the couple.

If you were the bride, would you be upset if a female guest wore white or if a guest looked fabulous or if her outfit was a little too revealing? If you are one of the guests would you be talking about the woman in red?

Men feel free to answer the Q also, would you even notice or care?
