‘This is too much’, say people as a bride shares a list of what guests can & can’t wear – & it leaves everyone divided
A BRIDE has sparked a fierce debate after sharing a lengthy list of just some of the items her guests can and can’t wear on her big wedding day.
Finding the perfect outfit to rock to someone else’s nuptials can be pretty stressful – however, to make her guests’ lives a little easier, Abigail Harden, came up with a list of the outfits she approved of, and the ones she wouldn’t want to see you arriving in.
The gorgeous bride, from Georgia, the USA, took to TikTok to share her thoughts on a number of dresses – however, the clip soon left everyone totally divided.
One of the frocks Abigail was fine with guests wearing was a stunning yellow sating midi dress with tie-back detailing.
This number was a safe ”yes”, as was the next garment on the list – a baby pink frock with a plunging neckline she ”loved”.
However, there were also a few picks the bride wouldn’t be too pleased to see you showing up in, including a floral print dress with a light backgroud.
”The base is white, so no. I know I am being dramatic,” she said in the clip.
It’s not just the colour of the outfit guests would have to be careful of – according to the stunning bride, who posts under the username @abigailharden4, some of the designs were also a ”no” in her eyes,
One such option which may win you dirty looks from the woman was a figure-hugging frock with a thigh-high split, as well as an open waist.
In her video, Abigail explained that cut-out was ”just a little too much” for her preference.
Other more safe picks, meanwhile, included a flowy maxi dress in vibrant fuchsia with the on-trend halterneck, as well as a flattering midi dress with a gorgeous floral, 70s-inspired pattern in pale orange and yellow.
”Yes to florals, pinks, orange, greens – I’m calling it like Spring semi-formal.
”I don’t care if it’s a midi dress, a short dress, I don’t really care – just don’t wear white or dark colours, or too many cut-outs.”
But whilst some agreed with Abigail and reckoned she was being ”pretty reasonable”, the video soon sparked a fierce debate, as hundreds insisted the Dos and Don’ts rule was ”too much”.
Bridal expert reveals the must-have trends for 2024
Event whizz Tsitsi Lynn Makuni claimed that mini gowns, wearing bows for tying the knot and donning bold accessories are among this season’s must-haves for marriage, The Sun reported earlier.
RING THE CHANGES – brides are opting for not one, but two dresses.
HITCH UP THE SKIRTS – short dresses were a huge hit at the Scottish Wedding Show’s October Catwalk and Tsitsi said more bridal boutiques are now offering shorter styles.
BRIGHT NOT WHITE – white and ivory dresses are no longer a given as more designers offer pastel options, and we will see a demand in more bold colours too.
BE BOLD – the accessories, too, will be as bold as our dresses. Expect to see dramatic headbands, pearl-embellished veils, elegant gloves and retro sunglasses.
TAKE A BOW – from small bows on headpieces and shoes to oversized bows on dresses, this is a wedding trend that’s showing no signs of slowing down, the expert revealed.
More than 1.3k people flocked to comments to share their thoughts, with one writing: ”Hey girl! I remember literally nothing anyone wore at my wedding!”
Another chimed in: ”I think you’re being a bridezilla.”
Someone else agreed, writing: ”This is crazy. I’d rather just not go.”
”This is too much.. it’s just a wedding. Wear what makes you feel comfortable and enjoy a good drink! I’ll be wearing purple!” a person said.
However, there were also those who raced to defend her from the harsh trolls, with one social media user writing: ”Omg these comments shocked me, I thought you were pretty reasonable.”
”Finally someone who gets it,” another penned.
”Just to remind y’all it’s her wedding not yours,” someone else hit back at the meanies.
