She Wore White To A Wedding And Some People Got Upset With Her, But Then She Explained Her Reasoning Behind Her Outfit Choice
A woman from Australia caused an uproar on TikTok when she showed off the dress she was wearing to a wedding.
Lacey-Jade Christie (@laceyjadechristie) revealed that she was planning on wearing a low-cut white dress to her friend’s wedding.
She received harsh criticism, with many commenters making jabs at her body, insulting the dress, and condemning her as a bad person.
It is a well-known social rule to avoid wearing white to someone’s wedding in order not to overshadow the bride on her big day.
However, more and more people are straying from traditional wedding wear, which the haters on TikTok failed to recognize.
The practice of wearing white all started with Queen Victoria back in 1840. She wanted her dress to stand out among the rainbow of colors that brides usually wore.
She wound up creating a fashion statement. It then became a symbol of purity, letting men know that a woman wasn’t “tainted.”
Lacey considers these to be outdated ideals and is calling critics out for not taking into account that in modern times, some people might not want to practice them.
“Are we still doing that…really? Also, not assuming…that people who are getting married are automatically brides…,” Lacey pointed out.

The wedding she attended was not a traditional ceremony. In this case, there were two brides, and she had sought permission from them over her outfit beforehand.
The brides themselves weren’t even wearing the standard colors. Instead, one was dressed in ruby red, and the other was decked out in emerald green.
Normally, Lacey wouldn’t wear white to weddings because she understands that might upset some people. But people should realize that nowadays, the no-white rule doesn’t apply everywhere.
Many TikTok users were in her corner, encouraging her to brush off the haters.
“Everyone in the comments acting like you’re wearing white to THEIR PERSONAL wedding,” commented one user.
“You do you. Love your outfit. I’ve been to weddings where the couple didn’t care what the guests wore,” stated another.
“Adding some positivity that you look amazing. And how refreshing that norms were smashed,” wrote a third.
