A bride-to-be reveals that her friend bought an ivory satin dress for her wedding

A bride-to-be has been urged not to invite her friend to her wedding after the guest chose a white satin dress that looks like an “edgy” bridal gown.

The anonymous woman, presumably from Turkey, recorded it Reddit to share a photo of Zara’s £50 dress that her friend has already bought for the big day.

The bride-to-be said she was surprised by the early purchase, considering she hasn’t even bought her own dress yet, but was even more shocked by the color.

This pale satin effect dress features a v-neckline with adjustable tie straps and short sleeves, a gathered detail at the front and an asymmetric hem.

Many rushed to comment, claiming the dress was “unacceptable” because it looks “too bridal.”

The post, which received more than 2,000 likes, read, “My friend bought this dress for my wedding? Hey guys, first I want to tell you that English is not my native language and I am sorry if I make mistakes while writing.

‘I’m getting married at the beginning of October. My fiancé and I recently met our friends and they are also a couple. They were my fiancé’s friends, but I’ve known them for two years now.

“Anyway, I was talking to her and showing her the pictures of my wedding dress that I could get because I hadn’t decided on my wedding dress yet.

Then she told me she bought a dress for my wedding and showed me the picture of the dress. I was surprised she bought it so early, but I was more surprised when I saw the color of it.

“She’s a traditional person and she knows all the rules when it comes to a wedding. The color is so close to white and it made me feel so uncomfortable. Not me [say] everything since she bought it. But I just don’t know why she’s doing this.

“The other thing I want to mention is I heard she’s still friends with my fiance’s ex, I didn’t make a big deal about it because we’re not that close and she was nice to me but now I’m getting a bad feeling about this.

“Can you tell me, am I making this a problem or is the color so close to white? Thank you.’

While many commenters resented us and insisted the dress was too bridal, others assured the woman that no one would mistake the guest for the bride because the dress is “ugly.”

One person wrote; ‘Is she going to marry you? Then the dress is perfect.’

Another said, “Wanted to say it was such a cool and refreshing wedding dress lol.”

While another commented, ‘I’m so glad I’m not the only one my first thought was it’s a cool wedding dress! And then read that it’s a guest’s dress for a wedding’

Someone else agreed and said, “100% I was like oh, that’s a really cool, modern take on a wedding dress.” Very minimalist chic.

“Really not cool, if not the actual bride. If I was a +1 at the wedding and didn’t know the bride, I would absolutely assume the girl who showed up in that dress was the bride.”

However, some disagreed, saying, “It’s an ugly enough dress, I’d let her wear it anyway, honestly.” NO ONE will think she is the bride. They’ll just think she’s tacky and wearing a cheap ugly nightgown to a wedding.’

Another agreed: “I think it might be funnier to let her wear it because it’s so ugly.”

People rushed to the comments with advice for the bride-to-be and some claimed she should “invite” her friend.

One person wrote, “It sure is a white dress. She can’t wear that to your wedding. If I were you, I’d tell her I’m sorry I didn’t bring it up when she showed it to me, but I’m not comfortable with the color of the dress she chose. And I would politely ask her to choose another dress.

“If she insists on wearing that dress, then it’s up to you whether that’s a reason not to invite her. But it sounds like she knows the rules and shouldn’t be shocked that you’re not happy with her choice of clothing. So she knows it would be disrespectful to you to wear it to your wedding. ‘

Another said, “Why don’t you suggest dyeing it instead of buying another dress?” It would be more economical and the dress is beautiful.’

While a third wrote: ‘I think in this case finacé should tell the guest that the dress is unacceptable. He should definitely say something like, “It’s not your wedding.” If you’re wearing that dress, you’re not invited.’

The bride notified social media users a few days later and said she had asked her fiancé to deal with the awkward situation.

She said, “Hey guys, first of all I want to thank you all for your comments and your recommendations.

“It just made me feel like my gut feeling wasn’t wrong and that I wasn’t the only one who thought that way thanks I talked to my fiancé about this and he talked to her husband and said it was so close to white and almost white is that it made me uncomfortable can you warn her about it, he told me her husband said he didn’t know she bought a dress and he will warn her.

“But I think I’ll write to her in a polite way tomorrow to make sure she knows I know what she’s trying to do and it’s disrespectful. I’m an unproblematic person and I don’t make comments if it’s not necessary but that doesn’t mean I’m weak and someone can cross my boundaries.

“I don’t think she’s my girlfriend either and I know what she’s doing is wrong. It will be my happy day and I don’t want negative people around me.”
