They say you can’t wear white to a wedding unless you’re the bride. Everyone else, including the mother of the bride or groom, should avoid the colour and others close to it, like ivory and champagne.
However, this is a “rule” that you don’t necessarily have to follow if you have the bride’s approval. As long as you don’t stand out too much that you upstage her, choosing white or ivory is acceptable.
A good alternative would be to wear neutral or pastel shades, which don’t compete with the bride’s white outfit and aren’t too loud either that you steal attention away from her.
Ahead are some neutral and pastel options from Nicola Ross you might like.
