I am attending an evening semi formal reception in the Norhteast tonight and have purchased an elegant winter white pants suit with a beaded brushed gold camisole and have been told that it is perfectly acceptable since the bride is wearing white, is this okay?

Re: [SouthernLady] Wear Winter White at the Reception

Dear Winter White,
I'm not completely understanding the statement about wearing white being appropriate because the bride is wearing white. I must be misunderstanding the meaning of that--sorry. Traditionally, we would avoid wearing white because it distracts from the bride (as well as wearing red). However, your outfit should be fine because it is a pant suit and you are wearing a gold camisole to distract from the white.
