I have a co-worker who thinks it is ok to wear white to people's weddings. I know that some of the rules have relaxed over the years and it is now considered okay to wear some white to a wedding, but this outfit isn't "some" white. Her go-to outfit is completely white: shoes, skirt, shirt, jacket, and the embroidery on the jacket is white as well! I'm a bit traditional and I really don't want her to wear that to my wedding this summer. Is there any way that I can (tactfully) get this across to her without being a witch about it? I'm inviting everyone I work with, so leaving her out isnt really an option....
Thanks!
Re: How to ask a guest to NOT wear white?
Unless someone is wearing a gorilla costume at your wedding, I don't think you'll notice what your guests have on. My MIL had on a creamish dress and she looked amazing. No one thought she was the bride.
If you are that worried about it, maybe suggest going shopping together for a new outfit?
Are you really going to notice what color guests are wearing?? Everyone is there to see YOU and your FI. Just ignore her.

I would love if someone wore a gorilla costume to my wedding. Hilarious!
Honestly, her outfit sounds awful and as a guest, I'd notice how ugly it is (white jacket, white skirt, white shirt, white SHOES????) more than anything else.
Nobody will mistake her for the bride in that get-up. I'd just ignore it. Maybe she is the type of person that just likes to be anti to create drama so I wouldn't give in to that. I'm sure on your wedding day, you won't even have to pretend to ignore her. You'll be so busy with other thigns.

Not really. She will look like a fool if she wears that, it won't reflect on you.
[QUOTE]Who cares what she wears? It changes nothing about your wedding day. I am now ranking this topic right up there with my hatred of people who don't invite ALL SOs, and it makes me want shots of cake. Or vodka. Or cake vodka.

This is where I am. It's just clothing.
There is no way to tell her nicely what not to wear. Just let it go.
But seriously. What people wear will not affect your wedding day. You probably won't even notice what outfits your guests have on. And if you do that outfit better be crazy out there so much so that you can't help but notice it or you are focusing on the wrong things that day.
[QUOTE]If you told me not to wear white, I would specifically because I'm a B like that. Let adults dress themselves.

ha love it!! I'm with Addie. They have birthday cake shots I'm sure we can have some wedding cake shots.
Hopefully you'll be in some kind of love cloud at your wedding that you won't even notice.
