Wearing white to a wedding.

I would suggest that if someone looks at you the overall impression that they get is "Yellow" then it's probably ok. If the impression that they get is white, then it's not ok.

But some people see this as a big deal, so it's risky even if you look yellow overall.

It's the bride's (and groom's day). So why take the risk of causing offence? If you really want to know if it's ok, then put it on and take a photo. Send it to the bride and ask her directly if it's ok with her, or if she'd prefer you avoided white. Make sure you make it as easy as possible for her to say that she'd prefer you wore a different colour withhout making her feel awkward. (Use words like "prefer", "avoid" and "it's no problem")

If she says she'd prefer you to avoid white, then you've narrowly avoided causing offence to your hosts. If she says she's fine with it, then it's noone else's business and you're good to go.

If you don't feel comfortable asking her, then don't wear white.

But it does raise the question.....Why are you even considering wearing something white? Don't you have something else to wear? Just avoid the issue altogether?

A polar bear?

Id avoid it ,

Some people wouldn't mind a white blazer or jacket ,For example i wouldn't care if you did at my wedding but why bother even chancing it just encase someone is offended,

I just wouldn't

At an Irish wedding I would keep well clear of it, not because that you are doing the 'wrong thing' in any way, but since there will always be those who want to have snipe and have a go.

If you want to avoid that I would avoid it. On the other hand, if that's your thing, then go for it!

Look there’s never any other colour people ask about- ok to wear pink to a wedding? Because you just don’t wear white, and seeing as you’re asking, you already know this. It’s one day and one piece of clothing, get a different blazer.

I think it won't be much of a problem. Unless the bride or groom is a very close friend or relative.

I know this is probably been and gone by now but just thought it was worth pointing out that it's not really fair to go ask the bride "can I wear this?" - because what can she say really? As a bride, how can you nicely say, "actually no that's a bit far, please wear something else" without feeling like an absolute bridezilla, even if you are in the right. If you feel the outfit needs the bride's permission, then maybe just take that as a sign to forget about it in the first place.

Rule of thumb in general I'd say, if you have to ask if it's ok, then just wear something else.

Surely the bridal party wearing white is different, as that would be by the specific request of the bride and groom.
