"Why shouldn't people attending a wedding wear white?"

I think that it all depends on your wedding colors.. like my were white,pink and black.. so yeah I was in white and my husband was in black and pink..but I think if a guess is wearing white I wouldn't mind so much and if the groom wanted to wear a white tux then go for it.

Not all grooms wear black suits. It all just depends on what the couple wants for their wedding. Nowadays not every bride wears white anymore. I have been to some weddings where the couple requests their guest to wear white because the bride was wearing a black dress and wanted her and her husband to be the only ones in black. My boyfriend is in a wedding this weekend and the groom and groomsmen are wearing navy slacks, white button-up shirts with the sleeves rolled halfway, brown shoes and a brown belt.

I think its nice if they keep to the tradition if they want to and a lot still do but not all of them.

Not at all unfair, I mean groom looks good in Black suit....lol

In todays world, at least over here Shavkat, there is no tradition that cannot be broken. Sometimes the bride and groom do not wear white and black. So it is just whatever kind of wedding it is that dictates what people wear. But going with the traditional dress, yes, I think the bride should not be upstaged.

the notion today is, a bride who maintains her chastity should wear white wedding gown. but brides and their grooms can wear any color for their gowns and suits. i did not know that even the people attending to a wedding ceremony should wear white. i think they should consider the motif of the wedding. when i attended 2 weddings (1 my colleague; the other my godchild), i wore the color motif (blue, and cream).

We do not follow that tradition. The guests can wear whatever color they want, only those in the entourage follow the color motif and the bride is always the one in white.

I don't notice that! It's not unfair for the groom; just let the bride have her very special day to be the center of attraction!

We have so many colourful dresses for weddings in the different parts of the country

In our culture we wear colour full dress to attend wedding ceremony and bride and groom are also expected to wear bright and colourful dresses. We generally avoid black and white colours at happy events.

Yes we follow the traditional wedding ceremony. There is no such thing as shouldn't wear white in the wedding in our tradition. Sometimes rather than the bride and the groom others look beautiful.

I am not an expert in this field unfortunately. Guess I am color blinded most of the time LOL.

I guess not all brides wear white gown nowadays? I don't like to wear white either if I get wed.someday
