Bride furious after sister-in-law wears 'white wedding dress' to her big day
A bride was left fuming after her sister-in-law wore a 'wedding dress' to her big day.
Taking to the popular Reddit forum Wedding Shaming, an outraged guest shared photos of the woman in question, revealing a floor-length gown with floral detailing.
Looking as though she was trying to upstage the bride, the rebellious attendee claimed she was wearing a sage -green dress in accordance with the dress code, which was 'pastel chic'.
But the disgruntled bride was not happy, especially as her mother-in-law had already put in a request to wear white, which was denied.
The poster wrote: 'The dress code was summer pastel chic, so think Easter colors.
'The girlfriend of the groom's brother wore a sage green (wedding) dress that in no way, shape or form appeared to be sage green, or any other color.
'The veil she's carrying was the flower girl's (her daughter). This was after the mother-in-law had asked the bride if she could wear a white jumpsuit to the wedding, to which the bride obviously said no.'
The bride was enraged by the fact that the design of the dress was also bridal - complete with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a romantic, figure-hugging silhouette.
To further undermine the claim that the dress was a 'sage' shade, the sister-in-law is pictured wearing green shoes, making the dress look white.
The post racked up thousands of comments and sparked a fiery debate, with many shocked on behalf of the bride.
One commenter wrote, simply: 'Wow, that's very bridal,' to which another incredulous user responded: 'Yeah this is straight up a wedding dress.'
Another wrote: 'I like how her SHOE was sage green. Like, she had a perfect example of what the color is supposed to look like.
'Instead she went about as white as you can go on the color wheel. Wtf. Who thinks this is appropriate?'
Some else joked: 'The dress looks like the smell of the color sage from another room.'
The majority of commenters could not believe the 'insane' decision to wear 'a full-on wedding gown,' but others sided with the guest.
'"Summer Pastel chic" is simply asking for trouble.'
'Honestly yes. So many pastels photograph white or look white under some lighting.'
'I wore a bright-yellow dress with a belt to a friend's wedding. It was so clearly bright yellow, I thought it was a safe choice. Nope!
'A lot of the evening photos were black and white. My dress looked like a wedding dress.'
Another comment dished out some seemingly obvious wedding guest advice, writing: 'To be safe, you should never wear any white dress to a wedding that is not yours.
'That being said, not all white dresses are wedding dresses. This is absolutely a wedding dress.'
