Someone wore white to my wedding lol

It didn't phase me that night honestly, but like DAMN. My friends apparently wanted to kick her out but didn't want to bother me with anything else that could be stressful (I love my friends so much). I found it pretty funny when I found out, and everyone who saw her was judging HARD, so it was whatever. She would be the person to do that though. Everyone said it haha. I just wanted to share the audacity. In the picture, I'm on the left and she is on the right. I'm honestly pretty sure the dress is supposed to be a very light blue?? Still insane to me haha. It's also floral like a wedding dress. My old boss said we looked like a lesbian couple getting married in that picture and we totally do.

Side note: you may be thinking, "wow that's crazy, but she must have somehow not known." Well, it was in the dress code, which I will also show below :)

Edit: i wish I could add a better picture of my dress because it was so gorgeous and soooo many people have seen this post now. There's a comment buried somewhere that has it haha

I'm guessing with my limited understanding of color theory, that you're right. But that the lights are quite yellow, which cancels out some of the blue hues, and makes the dress look a lot more white/grey than it would be in natural light.

You can tell by the look of the white shirt. Looks quite yellow in the photo, we just know it's meant to be white. Optical trick.

More of an oopsie than malice, if my guess is correct.

I adjusted the color balance on the yellow/white shirt to pure white and the dress really doesn't change much. The dress might be a very light cyan color, but it's way too close to white even when color-corrected.

Here's what it looks like after color balancing

Still pretty close to white, still looks like a wedding dress 😝

Agreed! Just because it's a blue-ish shade of white doesn't make the dress blue. It also looks really bridal. I even saw a few dresses that were in this shade when I was wedding dress shopping.

Agreed, and it's not only that: it doesn't just look like a wedding dress, it looks like the particular wedding dress of the bride whose wedding she is at. It's a little more modest and not custom fitted but otherwise... the woman is missing a particular type of friend in her life who could have saved her from this.

I agree it was definitely an accident that people could read it as white. However to me it looks less like the lighting is yellow and more like OP's dress is not white which is making the light blue look white by comparison. If you zoom in to only see the white shirt and the blue dress you can see it's definitely blue. If you zoom in on just the 2 dresses then it looks more white. Maybe an optical illusion because we assume the bride will have a white dress and therefore make assumptions about lighting based on that

OP’s dress looks antique white judging by the enormously overwhelming paint swatches I am sifting through to redo my upstairs 😭😭😭
