I’m a bride-to-be & was stunned when a guest showed me what she’s planning on wearing to my big day
WHEN it comes to wedding etiquette, there’s one main unwritten rule that every guest should follow – and that’s not to steal the limelight from the bride.
So one bride-to-be was left understandably furious when a wedding guest revealed what she was planning to wear on her big day.
The anonymous woman, who is from the US, posted a snap of the dress in question to Reddit and penned: “So, I’m having a wedding and a guest plans on wearing this cream coloured gown.”
Is this acceptable wedding guest wear or am I being overly sensitive?”
The floor-length cream gown features v plunge neck detail and flows into an extravagant, layered frilly skirt.
It wasn’t long before the comments section was flooded with messages – with many in agreement the gown is far too bridal.
“Honestly the style/shape of the dress bothers me more than the colour,” wrote one.
“I try to be easy going, but that definitely is not okay to wear as a guest unless you’re literally having a ball and everyone will be dressing in gowns like that.”

A second commented: “I agree with this. Dresses these days aren’t all white so that can be bothersome.”
“But the shape.. the shape and style are not appropriate for a wedding guest. It definitely comes across as bridal.”

A third penned: “I didn’t read the caption and thought oh that’s a cute wedding dress.”
Meanwhile, another noted: “Yep. If it was a dark colour or some not quite as eye catching fabric, it would be fine. But this just screams attention (bleep) to me.”

“Can you talk to them or have someone else talk to them?”
Elsewhere, one more person quipped: “Also made me laugh! Loud enough that I had to explain it to my husband (who agrees it’s too bridal!)”
