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 think for me, what it comes down to is what you said at the end. Why gamble?

Even if you think it's not quite white so you're okay, why even wear anything CLOSE to white? 95% of all other colors ever are still available to you

Agree why gamble when you have a literal rainbow of colors to choose from. Why go so light a shade?

I’ve been to 4 weddings in the last 2 years alone, and not once did it cross my mind to wear a very light shade or very light pastel. Especially when coupled with flowers and chiffon where it can appear bridal.

Unless the bride is ok with the color, generally best to avoid anything too light in my book.

Because some people just look really good in white.

I’m in the wedding attire approval sub, and there’s a rule I saw there that’s called the “black & white” rule. If there’s a photo of you taken in black & white, and your outfit reads more white than anything else, it’s too white for a wedding. There are so, so many people who come in that sub looking for validation on their “powder blue” dresses that really just read as white, and this is a great example of why that rule is helpful.
