I recently began reading a blog –The Brides Guide: Ideas from the Editors of Martha Stewart Weddings – it features editor Darcy Miller whose work and writing I admire…

 

But this week there were a series of post which curled my toes…

 

I have worked with some brides who are non traditional and chose not to wear “wedding gowns”, or chose not to wear one of the 45 currently popular shades of white…..

 

I’m cool with that…

 

But, I am still a firm believer that the option to wear white – is EXCLUSIVELY that of the bride!

 

It’s not an option for guests, most people feel that even ivory for MOB or MOG walks a very fine line of good taste even if the bride is wearing WHITE WHITE!

 

Not only did Darcy, chose against the advice of co workers to wear ivory to a wedding, she decided to press on and ‘research” the topic.

 

After not finding enough hard, fast –No’s and more of “if you do you have to be ready for heavy scrutiny” she still opted to wear ivory.

 

Blogging about it definitely fanned the flames as many blog readers with little class, or having no fear as they hid behind screen names called her everything in the book…

 

It was definitely good media – it’s when people stop talking about you that you have to worry.

 

Sorry Darcy, love the blog, hate the dress!
