_ Listen up peaches! Lately fashion bloggers have been talking about wearing white to a wedding. Well I am here to tell you IT IS NOT OK! It has been a rule to NEVER wear white to a wedding and for good reason! queen_victoria_1847

White has long been reserved for the bride and the bride only. This tradition stems from Queen Victoria's "daring" choice to wear a white wedding dress while tying the knot to Prince Albert in 1840. During these times, a white dress spoke volumes about the family's wealth and status, as white was (and honestly still is) an easy color to soil. Only the upper class could afford to keep a white garment clean.

Wedding guests should steer clear of anything white, that encompasses cream, nude, tan, off white and beige. Other taboo colors are red and black. Instead peaches, you should stick to bright, blissful colors such as pink, orange and green.

Now I have to ask, what are some celebrities thinking when they decide to have their bridal party in white? Kate Middleton had Pippa and flower girls in white dresses. And Cara Delevingne followed suit! It just looks like a simpler wedding dress, are they getting married too?! While I do not agree with the white choice, celebrities can get away with it, not my peaches!

Weddings are not a time to wear anything that could possibly over power the bride. Nobody wants to make the bride angry on HER big day. The whole point of wearing a gorgeous white gown is to spot the bride. NOT A GUEST! Your day will come to finally wear white to a wedding. But, when it is someone else's day, lay off the white.

Instead, try wearing one of these Peachy Keen options:

The prohibition against wearing white to a wedding seems like one of the last truly hard-and-fast nuptial no-nos. Even when two gentlemen tie the knot, you should not wear white. The grooms would appreciate their wedding treated just like everyone else's wedding throughout the world. Cocktail length, color blocking or white patterned dresses that don't scream "bridal" are acceptable options.

If you question it, skip it! There is an entire rainbow of colors, prints, and designs. Take this one day to chose a different outfit to wear. Nobody wants to ruin a brides day or be talked bad about. The rule on white is one that every peachy woman should follow when dressing for a wedding!
