MOG in white pants?

  She asked if blue would be alright and I said sure, that was fine with me. MoB is wearing a royal blue dress, wedding colors are yellow & periwinkle and she asked if dark blue/navy would be okay. I don't mind if she chooses a different color than the blue, just wanted to know if I'm being too sensitive about her choosing white.

  I'm confused as to why you "talked" about wearing a blue outfit...?? If she's comfortable wearing the white pants, let her. Like Edie said, nobody will confuse who the bride is.
  
  I realize some people side eye any white on anyone but the bride, but you can't control what adults want to wear. I would let it go and worry about more important things since you're getting married in one month. Plus I think telling your FMIL what to wear will cause some tension. It's just pants, not like a head to toe white outfit.

  Let her wear what ever she wants.  My MIL is mad that the SIL asked her to wear a particular color at her wedding (SIL's) over 10 years ago.  MIL wore black to my wedding.

  [QUOTE]To clarify, I would consider your lifelong relationship with your FMIL before making a big deal out of this. I would definitely side-eye a white dress, but not a pair of white pants.

  Okay, the white pants will be fine. Thank you Ladies for your advice!

  Is she wearing a colorful top?  Because if so, you'll probably barely notice what color her pants are at the wedding.

  It would bother me too but I wouldn't make a big deal about it because you don't want to start a riff with FMIL.

  [QUOTE]Steph, I assume it's a colored top or the OP probably would have said white "outfit" instead of pants.

  That's how I read it too, but I feel like every time I make an assumption on these boards, I end up being wrong.  I can't decide if my own reading-comprehension-fail or a series of writing-clearly-fails are responsible.  :-)

  If it weren't me I wouldn't love the idea but I wouldn't make a huge deal about it either...but I might have my FI casually say something to check to make sure that your FMIL knows that it is a little bit faux pas to wear white to a wedding when you aren't the bride.  LIke when he sees the outfit, saying something like "oh, I always thought you weren't supposed to wear white to a wedding...."

  
  

  I'd be more concerned that my FMIL might just not realize that a lot of people frown upon it, and be embarassed about it after the wedding.  If she knows about it and doesn't care, then I'd let it be - like PPs said, people are still going to know you are the bride - I'd just be more concerned about the side-eyes my FMIL would get wearing something similar.

  I don't love the idea of white pants, but if she's doing a colored top and she's happy with it, it's not something I would fuss over.

  You can't assign outfits to certain people except those in your bridal party.  Nobody is going to mix you up with her.  It'll be ok.
