Is this dress inappropriate for a wedding? Bride furious after her mother-in-law buys a WHITE gown to wear to the ceremony
- A bride-to-be has shared an image of what her mother-in-law wants to wear
- It's a silver and ivory toned dress with ruffles very similar to the wedding dress
- She asked the Facebook community if she had a right to be upset
One of the cardinal rules of being a wedding guest is to avoid wearing white so as not to out-shine the bride.
But one woman from the UK clearly didn't get the memo and ended up purchasing a custom-made white dress with frills to wear to her son and daughter-in-law's wedding.
Naturally, her daughter-in-law is not impressed and has taken to the Internet to ask for advice.

A mother-in-law has chosen to wear this dress to her daughter-in-law's wedding - upsetting the bride greatly
'Okay so this is about my wedding to happen in July,' she wrote in a Facebook wedding shaming group.
'This is what the mother of the groom is wearing. Am I being totally out of order or is this too white? Like my dress has ruffles and she was there when I picked it and she has JUST sent me this.'
In a WhatsApp message exchange between the two, the mother-in-law sent a photo of the gown she was having fitted to ask what the bride thought.
In a WhatsApp message exchange between the two, the MIL sends a photo of the gown in question, saying 'what do you think?'
The bride tentatively replied to the image by saying 'as long as it isn't white I love it'.
'Okay honestly it looks really white, I don't want to be that girl/crazy bride but I'd love it if it wasn't so white,' she said.
Her MIL, sensing distress, reassured her that the dress was actually a 'silver grey' and said it wasn't showing up clearly in the photo.
'I don't want to upset you. I'm panicking now,' she said.
Individuals on Facebook who saw the post were quick to tell the bride they'd be 'fuming' if this was their mother-in-law.
'Too bridal for sure,' one said.

Another added: 'I think if she wants to wear that specific dress then fine, but she's going to have to pick another colour.'
The bride returned to the thread to say 'they have all solidified what she already knew'.
'My fiancé is going to be having some words, I will update when that has happened,' she said.
'Also I did say it was beautiful but it looks very white, and if it looks this white here, it will definitely photograph white.'
