Guests ARE props in your wedding
Whenever I see discussions about dress codes, I always hear the argument that guests are not there to fulfill your “Pinterest” aesthetic for your wedding. The same naysayers argue that making guests “props” for photos and weddings by enforcing colors / styles is tacky and inappropriate.
I firmly disagree. Your wedding, ideally, is one incredibly special and important day in your life as a couple. Can people really not put aside their own selfish needs for one special day? Are people that lazy and inept that they refuse to follow the couples wish for one day?
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to request people to wear pastels, disco style , metallics, etc.
Many couples want to look back on their photos and see the glamour or feel of a vibe they spent so much money creating.
I think people are incredibly lazy and lame if they can’t muster up the effort to fulfill that vision for one day.
Photos matter, and aesthetic matters. What’s the big issue in having to buy a dress for the event? It cannot be that hard if you’re given due notice.
If you really hate it, just don’t go.
Just my two cents.
