Mary	a question of etiquette 06/10/08 11:35 am pst Listening to: i have a wedding to attend at the end of the month. flying up to canada for two weeks to go to one of my boyfriends good friends wedding. now...i've been to h&m, forever 21 and charlotte russe trying to find a dress for the wedding and until today, no luck. i am very picky about dresses. they have to be simple and comfy. i am not very girly but i still like cute things (mainly shoes and jewelry) but when it comes to clothes...comfort is my main priority. so...i'm having trouble finding something i like enough to actually buy. :/ i did totally find one today though that JUST got added to the forever 21 site that i think may be the one. it's cute, simple and dressy enough for a wedding, i think. plus we're not supposed to wear black (the invitations say spring colors! gag)...but with this dress i feel like i can get away with wearing a little black and some killer black heels. this however brings up another dilemma, the bride is wearing white. now some people believe it is disrespectful to wear white/red anything that would distract attention from the bride...BUT, i really don't think this dress is that striking? it is very simple and has black and light pink in it. it is nothing like a wedding dress. some people have told me they'd totally wear it, some people have mentioned it might be in bad taste to wear a white dress regardless. o.0 what do you think?

Stacey-Beth	06/10/08 11:39 am pst I think it's adorable. I would wear it, regardless. It's not flashy enough to distract or take away from the bride. But that's my opinion. =]

I'm all about bad taste. You should go pick out a bitchin bridesmaids dress. That'll teach those folks about shoving "etiquette" up their hoo-hoos.

That dress doesn't look SUPER WHITE to me. It looks like more of a creamy color to me. Very pretty. Go for it!

Stacey-Beth	06/10/08 11:59 am pst Maybe even an ugly ass 80's-style bridesmaid dress complete with ruffles and sequins!

blackroseorchid	06/10/08 12:13 pm pst I don't think it will be that big of a deal...

i think it's adorable, and far too plain to "take away from the bride"

fuck it, and wear what you want!

aloysius	06/10/08 01:03 pm pst Have you considered how likely it is that you are much hotter than the bride? I'm just sayin'...But in all sincerity I think that dress is perfectly acceptable, completely adorable and will look utterly gorgeous on you.

Mary	06/10/08 02:09 pm pst i'm still debating. i've got like 2.5 weeks to find another dress. i'll probably try to go for something else. i can't stand bright colors, so if i find something like a light mint, a pretty blue, a nice shade of peach, etc, maybe i'll go for that instead. despite most people agreeing it wouldn't be so bad to wear that dress...every time i look at it i see myself possibly standing out way too much at the wedding. since the invites said spring colors. that would be no fun if everyone is annoyed i wore white. :o
