LET'S TALK FASHION | IS IT ACCEPTABLE TO WEAR WHITE AS A WEDDING GUEST

I feel like I already have my wedding planned, the ceremony will be held outside on a sunny afternoon in July. The guests will sit on white chairs facing a floral arch with blossom flowers going along the aisle. My bridesmaids will be in lilac, silk, floor length dresses with their hair in cute up-do's. I 'll walk down the aisle to Kissing You by Desiree, my hair will be in a sleek pony tail with simple make up wearing a beautiful white strapless mermaid dress, a sweetheart neckline with a long trail. I want dove's too but is that a bit too much?!





 Unfortunately I'm only 19 (I also need to find someone that will actually marry me) and I'm pretty sure it'll be quite a while before I walk down the aisle but in the meantime I love looking at sites like Lover.ly for inspiration on dresses and weddings. I love going to weddings and dressing up for them but should it be a ''rule'' that only the bride can wear white? If you were invited to a wedding and found a beautiful white dress would you wear it?

When I think of weddings I think of pastel colours and the colour white so when putting together an outfit for a wedding I feel like I need to incorporate white somehow; whether its a pair of white heels, a white bag or a white dress. Personally if I found a white, lace midi dress with spaghetti straps I would wear it, I would also probably wear it with a pair of white heels and a pastel clutch bag, I really don't think it would take any attention away from the bride. Don't you think a guest wearing a neon pink dress would really take attention away from the bride?! 

However, if the shoe was on the other foot and I was the bride and a guest turned up to my wedding in a white dress... yes there might be a problem! I wouldn't throw a tantrum or say anything but a wedding day is meant to be one of the best days of a girls life, and if we're honest weddings are mostly about the bride (sorry grooms). So when it comes to being a guest at a wedding I would say just stick with white accessories. You could perhaps wear white heels, a white bag with a blue skater dress and leave the white dress to the beautiful bride. 

What do you think about wedding guests wearing white to a wedding? Let me know what you think.

Definitely check out Lover.ly's website they have amazing dresses and some really beautiful pictures, great for inspiration.

I hope you enjoyed it
