White to a bridal shower?

My fiancs cousins's bridal shower is next month. I've been to the venue before for other functions and i have the perfect sun dress that fits the occasion. But... It's white. Is it wrong to wear white to the bridal shower? I was thinking of pairing it with nude wedges and a bright cardigan. Thoughts? I don't want to look rude in front of his family.

Thanks!

    I wouldn't wear a white dress to any wedding event. Maybe a white shirt or a dress with a print that has white on it. Like a navy blue dress with white polka dots. But a plain white dress is odd.

    Ditto Stage. I really couldn't care less if anyone does it, but I know it's socially "wrong," so I personally wouldn't b/c I know OTHER people would judge.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    Don't do it. Some brides wear white to their shower and rehearsal dinner. Don't risk upsetting her (or raising the eyebrow of similar-minded guests).

    I would not wear white a wedding event of another person. But honestly, I have no idea what any of the guests wore to either of my showers or my bachelorette. If you're worried about offending your fiance's family- that is probably a good sign you shouldn't wear the dress.

    As a bride I wouldn't care, but I wouldn't do it as a guest.

    I would recommend not wearing that! I wore a white dress to my bridal shower last month, and my future sister in law decided to wear a white dress as well....everyone was whispering about why on earth she would do it.

    Save the dress for another non-wedding related occasion!! The outfit sounds adorable, but leave the whites to the bride

    3 people wore white to my bridal shower Saturday. I didn't notice til I looked at the pictures and I really don't care. No one confused them for the bride. They didn't accidentally open gifts from confusion. It was cool. I don't see why it matters. It is just a shower.
