It\u2019s the one rule that all <\/span>wedding guests<\/span><\/a> are told to always follow: <\/span>Never<\/em> wear white to a wedding. From casual to black tie, everything from jewel tones to colorful prints can be an acceptable wedding guest dress option, but not <\/span>white<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what if the invitation says otherwise? Some modern weddings feature a monochrome dress code for guests, where <\/span>wearing white<\/span><\/a> might be on the menu. Or, if the bride is wearing a non-traditional<\/a>, non-white wedding dress, she might want the guests to wear white instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But even if the <\/span>wedding dress code<\/span><\/a> invites you to wear white, there\u2019s still a certain balance you need to strike. You don\u2019t want to look like you showed up to somebody else\u2019s wedding in a wedding dress! Also, here\u2019s an <\/span>important note: \u201cWhite tie\u201d does <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> mean wearing white to the wedding. White tie is a formal dress code that\u2019s even more formal than black tie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips for Wearing White to a Wedding<\/h2>\n

So, if\u2013 and only if\u2013 the happy couple wants you to wear white to their wedding, here are the dos and don\u2019ts for wearing a <\/span>white wedding guest dress<\/span><\/a> without looking too bridal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do wear shorter hemlines: <\/b>A white full-length gown almost always looks bridal. Unless it\u2019s a formal wedding, choose a midi\u2013 or even a mini\u2013length hemline to avoid the bridal appearance. A <\/span>little white dress <\/span><\/a>is definitely better than a long white dress for white wedding guest attire.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wear tulle: <\/b>Tulle is a classic bridal fabric that will instantly make a dress look bridal. Instead of tulle, look for fun embellishments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do pick prints: <\/b>Adding a little color to your white wedding attire can still make it look less bridal while still meeting the unique dress code expectations of an all-white wedding. Florals look great for spring and summer weddings!<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wear too much lace, either: <\/b>You guessed it–lace is another bridal fabric. Even lace embellishments can make a dress look too bridal. However, if the bride\u2019s dress doesn\u2019t feature white lace, it can be a fine addition to your white wedding guest dress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do play with texture<\/b>: Interesting fabric textures and details like embroidery or jacquard can make a white wedding guest dress look less like a bridal gown. Swiss dot fabric is perfect for this look!<\/span><\/p>\n
