Should you 'let loose' at a wedding or avoid overshadowing the bride?

What to wear to a wedding is a topic of interest to many people - Illustration: WHITE CLOUD

On social media groups, many people expressed different opinions about the story of a young girl attending a wedding wearing a long white dress, her hair in a bun, and holding a wedding bouquet for a photo.

"Mistaken me for the bride"

The girl shared:

What do you think about dressing up for your best friend's wedding?

I dress like this but people keep mistaking me for the bride. Then when they find out I'm a guest, they blame me for dressing more beautifully than the bride .

I just want to be a little more neat...

Okay, I'll just wear black to weddings from now on!

Groups reposted these images and discussed them enthusiastically. Account Huyen Bui said, "Can't please everyone, so let it be. Just do your own thing."

Some people support dressing up when attending a wedding. However, the girl in this story posted a photo of herself standing near the groom and a friend, holding a bouquet of flowers, causing mixed opinions.

Tu Nguyen said: "People with elegant looks look elegant in everything they wear. People have aesthetic eyes so they choose beauty. Who doesn't like beauty?

If you are asked to wear cheap clothes to a wedding, don't invite them.

Tu Nguyen added that in the countryside, it is only once in a while that you have to dress up to attend a wedding. Moreover, buying clothes also costs a lot of money.

Sharing the same opinion, Thanh Nhan said: "That's right, suddenly going to a wedding costs a lot of money to buy a dress that costs around 1 million VND, and a few hundred thousand VND for makeup. And then being offended is being more beautiful than the bride". Tiny's account briefly said: "Normally I dress like this too, I don't wait until I go to a wedding".

Humorously, Thanh Phuong shared: "Whoever organizes a wedding, please write down the dress code . Otherwise, guests will be told to "chop" the bride and groom. So tiring."

Dressing well for a wedding shows respect.

On the other hand, many young people think that the girl in the story wearing a long white dress, tying her hair up, and holding a wedding bouquet and taking pictures next to the groom at the wedding is not appropriate.

Regarding the outfit, My Nguyen said: "On the bride's most beautiful day, let them shine. You can be beautiful anywhere, but don't overshadow the bride on her happiest day."

Following the comments, Khanh Linh worriedly said: "I'm planning to buy a lemongrass cream dress (luxurious) to go to a wedding. But only this style."

Some of you think that dressing nicely shows respect for the inviter. Nguyen Phong shared quite detailed:

Since ancient times, people have decided that when going to a wedding, you have to dress nicely . Dress nicely to show your respect to the host .

Dressing simply can be seen as disrespectful .

Vietnamese people also do not avoid white because it is the same color as the bride like in Korea . It's just that in recent years, the white taboo has come up.

Just don't overwhelm the bride with too much.

As long as the bride is happy!

Nguyen Phong concluded: "The neatness and elegance of that girl is a respect for the bride. But the problem here is that the bride is dressed in a way that many people agree is too casual."

One friend happily shared her story, saying that before the wedding she told her friends what to wear.

Specifically, Ngoc Vu said that on a personal level, the wedding is her happy day. Therefore, she "always tells her friends to dress up, look nice, and all that. Because I like it that way."

According to Ngoc Vu, she thinks her friends are beautiful, so she is proud. "My friends are also stylish, so I give each of them a beat. It's pleasing to the eyes and ears," she shared. And her friend concluded, in this story, are the guests too dominant, "if the bride hasn't spoken yet, then that's it."

Agreeing, Thuy Linh tagged a friend in this thread and said: "When it's my wedding, you can wear an evening gown."
