"I&amp;#x27;m not sure if I know the best answer for this sweet bride&amp;#x27;s dilemma, so I&amp;#x27;m counting on you guys to help! Writes loyal Save the Date reader Katie (aka, frequent commenter &amp;quot;malulbc&amp;quot;!): I&amp;#x27;m going to wear either a blue or yellow dress to my wedding (I&amp;#x27;m still choosing between two that I love) and I&amp;#x27;m worried about guests wearing the same color&amp;amp;#8212;or even the same dress! I don&amp;#x27;t mind at ALL if my guests show up in the color I&amp;#x27;m wearing, I&amp;#x27;m just concerned about how they would feel. I know I would feel HORRIBLE if I showed up to a wedding in the same dress as the bride, but that&amp;#x27;s usually avoidable if you don&amp;#x27;t wear white. I don&amp;#x27;t know how to gently tell my guests what to wear (or what not to wear) without coming off as a total bridezilla. Help! Here are my thoughts: It&amp;#x27;s so kind of you to consider this because, yes, I would feel SOOOOO awkward if I showed up to a wedding in the same dress as the bride! But p.s. I adore blue wedding dresses! Here&amp;#x27;s a favorite of mine: Crashing Waves Gown from BHLDN. If you don&amp;#x27;t send photos, I will cry! As far as your guests go, I think you have two options: 1) Spell out what you&amp;#x27;ll be wearing on the invitation. I don&amp;#x27;t think anyone would take offense if you did something like this on your wedding invites: European Swirls Invitations from Wedding Paper Divas. You&amp;#x27;re not saying NO ONE can wear blue. You&amp;#x27;re just mentioning that you will be, and people can use that information as they see fit. (I also think the fact that I made the invitation blue kind of drives home the point, no?) 2) Tell anyone who&amp;#x27;ll listen that you&amp;#x27;re wearing blue! (Or yellow.) I&amp;#x27;m sure everyone and their mother is asking about your dress, so make sure the first detail you share is the color. &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s a GORGEOUS shade of periwinkle!&amp;quot; You can also ask your family members and wedding party to start a &amp;quot;whisper campaign.&amp;quot; Anytime someone brings up your wedding to them, ask them to tack on &amp;quot;... and I&amp;#x27;m SO excited to see Katie&amp;#x27;s dress! Did you know she&amp;#x27;s wearing baby blue?&amp;quot; I guess the biggest concern, if you choose this method, would be your groom&amp;#x27;s buddies not passing the word on to their plus-ones. If you do have tons of guys who will be bringing random plus-ones, you might just send them an email: &amp;quot;Hey, guys! We&amp;#x27;re so excited to meet your dates! Could you mention to them that Katie will be wearing blue? They&amp;#x27;re welcome to wear any color in the rainbow, of course!&amp;quot; Ladies, what do you think? Is there an easy way for Katie to tell her guests? Or should she keep her lips zipped and hope for the best? Have a wedding-y dilemma of your own? E-mail me!
