Yeah i dont get this too. It’s obvious who the bride is. But I’m not from the US so i dont get it. People here wear white cocktail/summer dresses to weddings all the time. Yes with lace too. Just no veils and trains obviously. Nobody isnt gonna mistake that for a bridal gown.

I’ve seen posts where the bride is pissed that someone came in a white summer dress with big floral prints. Like seriously why are you pissed about that?

I'm from the US. It's just some stupid ass tradition lingering way past its expiration date. Most Americans don't even know where this tradition originates from, I sure as hell don't, and I could probably ask a thousand people before coming across one person who knows.
