This used to be considered extremely gauche, as only the bride was supposed to wear white. Nowadays, however, it is done occasionally, as no one seems to know "the rules" anymore.

The old-fashioned rule is: "Only brides are supposed to wear white." It's to avoid drawing attention away from the bride. Today, most people wear whatever they want!

That depends on the kind of wedding you're going to.

Even today, there are people who still follow the "old-fashioned" rule that only brides are supposed to wear white. Just ask.
