One gobsmacked
In the post, the wedding guest revealed that the dress code was 'summer pastel chic.'
That meant many of the guests came in butter yellow, soft pinks and lilacs.
But one guest took the pale colour-scheme too far when she turned up in an off-white gown.

While she claimed the dress was sage green, many argued it was far too pale to be able to tell.
In the pictures, her dress looked off-white and to top it off, had a very bridal structure to it.
The dress had a sweetheart neckline, off the shoulder sleeves, and a tight corset top decorated with delicate flowers.
The skirt came down to the floor showing a glimpse of her sage green heels.

She was also spotted holding a white veil throughout the wedding.
The Reddit post read: "The dresscode was summer pastel chic, so think Easter colours.
"The gf (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 colour.
"The veil she's carrying was the flower girl's (her daughter)."
Shockingly, it turns out that this was not the first time one of the wedding guests had asked to wear something inappropriate at the wedding.
"This was after the MIL had asked the bride if she could wear a white jumpsuit to the wedding, to which the bride obviously said no," they continued.

One person wrote: "Wow, that's very bridal."
Another commented: "Are you joking? I thought the first photo was the bride's dress for comparison. Unless my phone screen is f**ked, I cannot understand how that is remotely green. How rude."
"Is she roleplaying a bride since her bf hasn't married her yet?" penned a third.
Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette
If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble.
Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom.
Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided.
Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not.
Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered.
Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride.
"Some guests did think that she was jealous because she has kids with the groom's brother but no ring yet," replied the poster.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Ok that's fully a wedding gown ma'am. Couldn't even let her have one day huh?"
"Her shoes are sage green. The dress is not,' claimed a fifth
Someone else added: "Is she that hungry for attention?"
