16 People Who Broke Wedding Law By Dressing Like The Bride

One of the mainstays of bridal etiquette is that, unless specified, you should not wear white as a wedding guest. However, a lot of people decide, for whatever reason, to go out and wear very bride-like dresses to a wedding.

Oddly enough, it tends to be the mother of the bride or the mother of the groom—I’m not sure what that means, but it’s definitely strange.

On Reddit, people are sharing images and stories of the moments they’ve witnessed someone who is not the bride wearing white—and folks, just don’t do this.

There are so many other colors.
