Every woman knows she doesn’t dare wear white to a wedding, but what if the bride outlines several other colors for the guests to avoid?
A user named Hannah recently turned to X, formerly known as Twitter, to criticize the wedding guest known as Nicole, based in Miami, Florida, for not meeting the standards of a bride. dress code, shared with an image of a card.
The original tweet she shared read: “I just received these instructions for wedding guest attire and I’m being asked not to wear white (just because it’s Miami and it’s hot and it’s an outdoor wedding) but the rest? LOL. Go away. I’m not going’.
Hannah felt that Nicole, the original poster, did not fully understand the wedding protocol and rejected her opinion on this basis.
X users were divided: some welcomed the opinion of Hannah and condemned Nicole because they disagreed with the bride because of the implementation of a very specific dress code, but others labeled it as ‘an unusual rule’.

Hannah wrote: ‘I can’t imagine asking something like this, but I’m sorry, you lose all credibility in the critical conversation about wedding etiquette when you say you don’t fully understand the No White rule.’
Speaking about the ubiquity of the unspoken ‘no white’ rule, she was left perplexed as she didn’t know why Nicole couldn’t just choose a different color for her dress.
The people of X were quick to weigh in on the controversial issue, and many were torn.
One said: ‘Someone wore white to my sister’s wedding yesterday. I don’t know if she noticed or cared, but I noticed’.
Another agreed with Hannah: “These colors are very specific and not difficult to avoid.”
More users came out to support the bride for providing the handy diagram: ‘Honestly, if I saw something like this I would have absolutely no problems.
‘People often have specific colors for the wedding parties to differentiate them from everyone else (for thematic reasons), so I totally understand. If I received this, I would consider it helpful.”
Another user felt the same way: “I mean, this request honestly seems very reasonable to me.
“Those are just four colors that guests are not allowed to wear (I’m not counting white, that’s not a problem), and the most obvious choice, the little black dress, is still an option. There are still so many colors available’.

Even more social media users defended Hannah: ‘I thought this post was ridiculous because there are loads of shades and colors and she got mad at the wedding party theme colours?
“It’s not unreasonable and not going to someone’s wedding based on a simple request is childish.”
And another user pointed out the bride’s helpfulness: ‘Girl just pick a baby blue dress and go to the wedding, like it doesn’t get any easier than this’.
One user even noted that Nicole’s refusal to attend the wedding would have little impact: ‘I love how people think that their specific presence or lack thereof at a wedding will have such a huge impact on the bride and groom. They won’t miss you’.
However, one joked: ‘I mean, definitely no white dresses. No white anything? That’s an unusual rule. I have never been to a wedding where there were problems with men wearing white shirts, for example.’
