It’s the debate we’ve heard once or twice countless times before. Though it’s a familiar one, a definitive answer is yet to be determined.
The general consensus is, you can wear white to a wedding… sometimes. It must be a certain shade of white, in a particular style, only if the bride is okay with it. But don’t ask her, because that puts her in an uncomfortable position.
So, in short, don’t wear white. We think.
Due to the uncertainty surrounding the topic, this mum posted the following question to Mumsnet just to be sure she wasn’t crossing a (very vague) line:
She later added she wouldn't be at the wedding for long, perhaps just for an hour or two.

I think it’s anything goes these days.
I remember at my sister’s wedding, a good friend of hers wore a white see-through dress with a white lace g-string.....disgraceful!
In comparison I don’t see anything wrong with the dress this woman wants to wear.
Eh, probably safer not to. Frankly, I’m amazed (and slightly intimidated) by people who wear white. They obviously don’t have kids or pets who jump all over you, and are capable of eating without spilling shit everywhere. If I wore that dress, you can guarantee that I’ll spill the soup or sit on something messy.
