Can I wear white pants to a wedding? - Page 5

I wonder if those who think it bad form to wear white pants to a wedding would feel the same way about a white blouse? Supposed OP were wearing a white blouse and blue pants?

@QueenDanceALot Yes. Why must one wear white? I mean really, don't you have other choices?

I worked as a photographer is part of my long working life, and I always think about the photos. There are the photos and wouldn't it look better if the bride were the ONLY one wearing white? Really do you want to look at the photos and see splots of white other than the bride?

Again: WHY do it? Why MUST one other than the bride also show up sporting white?

But my question is WHY do it if there is any chance someone would think something about it, or think it looks bad in the photos? What's the point here?

...because white pants are a quintessential summer staple.

...because people don't live by antiquated rules any more

...because a guest MiGHT be in one or two un-posed photos

...because white pants and a color top don't stick out in photos.

...because summer clothing is normally light colored and white never looks out of place with soft summer colors.

AND because we don't to do anything that might smack of being traditional! I'd see that as being important to add to the list. Along with we insist on having our way.

@Sooner

I really can't recall seeing any wedding photos where someone with some white in their outfit detracted from the photos or made them look bad.

@QueenDanceALot SInce you want to know, as a professional photog for MANY years, I probably look at photos differently that. you do. Again, I'm going to ask: Is that all you have to wear? That's my point here. WHY do it? WHY argue about it? What's the point?

i would not......go with the black pants if they match. i just avoid white altogether at a wedding.

@Sooner

I don't want to argue about it.

I just don't have a problem with it, and it looks like a lot of other people don't either. We just don't see it as a faux pax or a slap to the happy couple, But we aren't professional photographers, so...

If it makes your eyes bleed (not just you, but anyone else), maybe you need to specify NO WHITE ON ANY GUESTS on your invitation.
