TikToker calls women ‘delusional’ for wearing any kind of white to a wedding, even if it’s floral printed
A TikToker is going viral for saying that any wedding guest who wears a cream, light blue or floral-printed white dress is “tacky,” “delusional” and “from another planet” — and her stance is causing quite a stir among viewers.
TikToker Juliet (@happy_dagger) gained over 1.1 million views when she shared her opinions on wedding guest attire to her account — and judging by the 3,300 comments the video has received, it seems not everyone agrees with her stance.
While we’ve seen controversial wedding videos go viral on the app before — like the bride who served her wedding guests bloat pills at the reception, or the groom whose “disgusting” wedding vows set off red flags across social media — Juliet’s video is sparking a heated debate.
The video — captioned “may god have mercy on the woman who rolls up to my wedding in ‘cream'” — begins with Juliet threatening, “When I get married, I will be arming my cousin Grace with a Super Soaker full of red wine.”
She goes on to say that her FYP (“For You Page”) is currently full of “delusional women who think it’s appropriate to wear shit like this to a wedding,” cutting to a silvery-blue slinky dress. “Are you serious? I don’t care that ‘if you look closely at it in the sunlight it’s technically blue.'”
She then asserts that anyone who would wear such a dress to a wedding is saying that they “don’t give a shit about the bride.”
Her video then cuts to a floral printed dress. “Or crap like this. I think this is so tacky. ‘Well technically it’s got flowers on it.’ I don’t care. That’s a white dress. You could have worn any other color. You could have worn this dress to any other occasion.”
‘Oh this is a STRETCHHH’
Many TikTokers took issue with Juliet’s rules on wedding guest attire.
“I literally cannot imagine caring this much about the COLOR of what someone wears to my wedding,” commented @animasrra.
“Florals doesn’t seem like a big deal. And the wedding isn’t ‘about the bride’ it’s about the union of two ppl. Weddings now are just for show,” wrote @bitch.sunandmoonrising.
“I’m so glad we eloped 😂 the drama of weddings man,” commented @anxietay13.
“Oh this is a STRETCHHH,” wrote @thecrustymango.
However, many completely agreed with her stance.
“Former wedding planner here. I have straight up made guests go home and change before at the bride’s blessing 🤺🤺🤺😅” commented @sarahbeth.
“My rule is if in any lighting it could potentially photograph white, it’s an immediate no,” wrote @aliradbc.
“This, and even cream is pushing it for me,” wrote @emwizzlemiester.
To this, Juliet replied, “anyone who says cream is appropriate to wear to a wedding is from another planet.”
In response to the thousands of comments her video received, Juliet posted a follow-up to expand on her opinions. “Such drama over one simple rule,” the video’s caption read.
The rule, according to Juliet, is a tradition that descends from Queen Victoria, who popularized the white wedding dress when she married Prince Albert in 1840.
After watching Juliet’s follow-up video, viewers suggested that, given some brides’ strong opinions on wedding guest attire, dress codes should be the norm.
“As a guest, I really appreciate dress ‘codes’ for weddings. It removes all chances of second-guessing fit picks and avoids any upsets,” wrote @anovelname.
“I think the real problem with these rules is the assumption that they’re all understood. I think they should be clearly communicated to guests,” commented @priestessizusu.
But some brides-to-be took Juliet’s stance one step further — like @itskatiematey, who, in a stitched video response, proposed that any guests who wear white should be publicly shamed and forced to wear a neon shirt reading “I wore white to a wedding.”
While white is typically an off-limits color for guests of Western weddings, it’s not the norm for other cultures around the world.
According to Wedding Venture, in India, guests typically steer clear of the color red, as that is considered the bridal color. In Japan, the color black is preferred for guests, and prints should “definitely” be avoided. In Mexico, guests tend to wear flowing, colorful attire, and flat shoes that are practical for dancing. In Hindu ceremonies, according to Wedding Wire, white shouldn’t be worn by guests — because it’s the color worn at funerals.
While TikTokers might not be able to agree on what qualifies as a “white” dress, many seem to agree that respecting the bride’s wishes is what truly matters most on her wedding day.
