Mom Accuses Bride of Having 'Insecurity Issues' After Being Asked Not to Wear 'Winter White' to Her Wedding
A Reddit user is wondering if she's in the wrong for asking her mother to pick a color other than "winter white" to wear to her wedding Though the bride-to-be reminded her mom that it's "considered rude" to wear white to a wedding, the mother said she must have some "insecurity issues" if the color of her outfit mattered so much to her Her dad says she is being "dramatic" and the mom threated to skip her big dayA bride-to-be is fighting with her mother after she revealed she was planning to wear white to her wedding. On Reddit's r/AmIOverreacting forum, the 27-year-old woman explains that she is gearing up for her "small garden wedding" in November, which has a "semi-formal" dress code. While at her final dress fitting, her mom "casually mentioned" that she'd already picked out her outfit for the big day. "I asked what color it was and she said, 'It's white, but it's more of a winter white. Don't worry, I won't upstage you,'" the user writes. The woman immediately pointed out that wearing white to someone else's wedding is a faux pas and not something she should do. "I kind of blinked at her and asked, 'Wait, you're wearing white to my wedding?'" the Reddit user continues. "She said yes, and that she 'looks best in white' and it's 'not like anyone would confuse her for the bride.' " The poster pleaded with her mother to choose any other color, though she was met with resistance. Her mother claimed she was being "controlling and 'making everything about me.' " "I told her weddings usually are about the couple and it's generally considered rude to wear white unless it's been approved," she continues. "She scoffed and said I 'clearly have some insecurity issues if a dress threatens me.' " The Reddit user then told her mom that, if wearing white was a hill she's willing to die on, she might as well just skip the wedding altogether.

"I told her she was welcome not to come if the color of her outfit mattered more than my comfort on the biggest day of my life," she writes. "Now my dad is calling me dramatic and my mom is threatening not to come. My aunt (her sister) agrees with me, but says I should just let it go 'for peace.' " Though the bride wonders if she's overreacting, others in the comments suggested she stand her ground, pointing out that this isn't a typical response from a mother. "Wearing white when you have made it very clear that do NOT want her to do so is just rude. This is some underlying need to compete with you or unnerve you in some way at your wedding," one commenter wrote. "Your mother is welcome to skip the event if she can't find any other color that suits her, and Dad can stay home with her," another added. "And I abhor people who tell you that you should go against your wishes to keep peace, like why can't the offending person do what is being asked ya know for the peace?"

‘You'll upstage the bride' people fume as wedding guest shows off very revealing dress that's ‘way too fancy'
A FASHIONISTA has come under fire after showing off her wedding guest outfit that trolls insist will ''upstage the bride''. Wedding season has well and truly arrived, which means many people have been taking to social media to share their stylish frocks and gowns. 1 But one woman has left people demanding she changes her outfit for a close pal's garden wedding. The dress code detailed in the digital invite asked guests to "get just a little bit fancy" with chinos listed as an option for men and "dress/skirts" for female attendees. From this brief, the woman opted for a sleeveless floor length silver satin dress with a deep plunging V-neck. And even she seems unsure about her choice, after sharing a picture of her final look in the Wedding Dress & DIY Facebook page. Alongside the snap, she wrote: "Is this too intense to wear as a guest It's at a garden venue inspired by the French countryside. "I'm concerned this is a bit too much for the venue/garden vibes.. and potentially even a little too close to white? "The bride is a close family friend but I don't want to bother her when she has so much on her mind. "Bridesmaids are wearing burgundy red. Please help me out here; suitable attire or too much?" Her post quickly racked up almost 1,000 comments with plenty of fashion fans having their say. Not only did people warn her that it was "too revealing" and would take attention away from the bride, but others claimed its colour broke a basic rule because it looked near-white. Frankie Bridge slammed by fans again for SHEER wedding guest dress that's 'too much' and will 'upstage the bridge' Wearing ivory as a wedding guest is often considered a cardinal sin and the ultimate insult to the bride. One person said: "Too close to white and it looks too good. You'll show up the bride! Don't wear it to a wedding!" A second wrote: "So you want to wear a wedding dress to somebody else's fairly casual wedding…I think you already know the answer…" A third fumed "no, you'll upstage the bride" while someone claimed: "Too revealing for a will be on you not the bride." "Nope it's to fancy for what the invite says and also it looks like you're the bride", chimed in a fifth. 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. And a sixth echoed: "I definitely thought you were asking if it was too plungy to wear as a bride... then realised you're a guest." Others, however, jumped in to support the wedding guest and urged her to wear the show-stopping frock. One said: "Am I the only one saying the dress is fine for the dress code instructions? Lol." "I'd wear this gown; it's beautiful and you look beautiful in it", another insisted. A third agreed: "It's gorgeous. Not white. Wear it. Always better to be too dressed up than too dressed down." Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "I don't think it matters if it's more casual or not. Just wear it if you like it and don't care what ppl thing if you feel beautiful or sexy in it. It looks amazing on you." Celebs aren't exempt from making fashion faux pas at weddings either. When Dani Dyer wed footballer Jarrod Bowen last week, guest and fellow Love Islander Georgia Steel was slated for wearing what looked like a revealing white dress to her pal's big day. After Georgia posted a snap on TikTok of the lace-trimmed Miss Circle number she wore, the trolls came out in force, bashing her for picking what was in fact a 'soft beige' dress. 'Wearing white to a wedding?' questioned one, while another waded in with: 'Way too bridal for a wedding.' And Georgia isn't alone. Two months ago, White Lotus actress Sydney Sweeney came under fire for the 'inappropriate' dress she wore to her Anyone But You co-star Glenn Powell's sister's wedding. She chose a cleavage-baring corset-style dress from V Chapman in a very pale blue. Fans thought the colour was an issue.
