    I like white. Not a fan of all white at a wedding as a guest, but a white top should be great! Versatile too. With a pretty skirt, and even a nice scarf/wrap/shawl/whatever, and some colourful accessories, and it's won't seem too stark or bridal at all.

    LOL Rhyn .. I had a girl that wore a off-white suit to my wedding!!! Actaully, funny story, she was my then-boss's daughter, went to school with her - did not like her, did not like her at all and did not invite her, but she came with the guy who is getting married this weekend!!!

    I hope DH like the black one too I would just LOVE the oppertunity to show off my bump.

    I know rules regarding wedding have changed so much, but I am still one that thinks, even if the bride is in all the colours of the rainbow, that white it a bride-only thing.

    I'll play pg-model for DH tonight and hear what he thinks

    Janie .. I almost got married in deep wine-red. Got cold feet in the last month, because DH made an off-hand comment about brides in colour and how he is looking forward to see me in my WHITE dress and it bugged me for like 3 dreams in a row and I phoned the ppl I was hiring my dress with and said "STOP!!!!!! Make it WHITE!!!!!!! " Lucky for me they had the exact same dress already made in virgin-white as if (lucky my size), so I just changed my order ... pheww!

    I wouldnt worry too much about a white top, especially if you arent teaming it with a white skirt (which i am sure you're not ). What ever you feel comfy in and makes you look gorgeous. P.S - I love showing off my bump too.

    I have a wedding to go to in november and i will be 37 weeks pg. I actually asked if i could wear a sheet - i will be wearing whatever will fit. Have a great time xoxo

    I dont see any issues with a white top...most guys will prob be wearing white shirts! I would just stear clear of white dresses or white skirt/white top combinations!

    Hi,

    Well I would have to say no. I remember at one wedding sil was wearing a white dress, actually i think she's worn it to a few and I thought at the time oh she's wearing a white dress and it didn't seem wrong...I think the style of the dress helped I think it was a cue dress so not bride like. However, I would say that lots of brides might not like it and you won't know if this is one of the brides that would mind and even though it might be silly to some it is their day and I suppose as their guest I wouldn't want to do anything to upset them just my opinion though

    Personally I'd go the black rather than white. We had two people show up to our wedding in white dresses (both extended family members - one from each side). It didn't bother me so much on the day, but looking back at photos it does look a bit funny IYKWIM? Ask your hubby what he thinks since you don't really know the bride that well, she might be a total bridezilla and freak out at someone else wearing white

    Though if you wear a different coloured skirt and maybe a jacket or a shawl or something that makes the white stand out less that might work.

    I think a white top is fine. Unless you are also wearing a veil! LOL. But seriously it would be fine. Both sound great though and I know what you mean about showing off your bump.
