Oooo JayBird, you know anything featuring beyonce and mama knowles will be one tacky ass exercise in ghetto fabulosity, including the tackiness of everyone wearing white. So I wouldn’t count on that detail to make it false. Besides, old French tradition, at least according to bridal books I’ve read, is having the entire shindig in white. And you know Mama Knowles thinks her ass is decended from the gens de couleur libres.

Well, the white wedding dress is a bit like the red Santa Claus suit : a rather new tradition.
Indeed, until the first World War, the bride would not wear a white dress, symbol of virginity etc.
She would a wear a light blue, pearlish grey and sometimes even black dress.
And the bride-to-be was not to look at herself in the mirror when trying on the dress.Somehow, I doubt Beyonce would go for a dark dress and not looking into the mirror.

Bellarix is bang on the money there. White dresses (which was traditionally a mourning color) only became common from the very end of the 19th century.
It had nothing to do with “purity” (blue is traditionally the European colour of purity - which is why the Virgin Mary is always dressed in blue), it was simply a status of wealth. White was very difficult to care for and therefore a white dress was not something that could be worn often. Therefore, by having a white wedding dress the bride’s family were making a statement that they could afford to waste money on a wholly impractical dress. Wedding dresses were usually a new “Sunday best” - with green and mauve being popular.
Back to Bey - who wants to bet it’ll be the most awkward confection of shiny shiny shiny white silk, plunging necklines, sequins and glitter known to humanity - trannylicious i other words.

Queen Victoria popularized the white wedding gown but even then, only the wealthy could afford a dress to be worn for one day.
What I was referring to actually was not the bride but the wedding party and decorations being all in white. Like I said earlier, I’ve only read about it in various wedding planning books so I don’t know how large a practice it was or continues to be.

OK, since everyone is getting into the white wedding dress history, I have to add my “Miss Manners” two cents - a “reverend” is neither a job title nor a noun. It is an adjective, often used incorrectly in the place of “minister” or “pastor.” The use comes from the tradition of referring to such people as “The Reverend Mister Jones.” The title devolved in common use to “Reverend Jones,” but a person can’t be “a reverend.”
There, I feel better now.
Nitpicking aside, I love Celebitchy! You guys are the best.

my two cents on either the bride and groom, or the bride,groom and the whole wedding party wearing white, is that it reduces snickering at a mature woman wearing virginal white. guests/friends/relatives can be sooo “honest” at awkward moments. who wants to hear elderly great-aunt mildred snorting during the bride’s walk down the aisle, and muttering about her former lack of chastity. great-aunt mildreds have less ammo if everybody’s in white.
also, all white parties are so puffy, or piffy or diddy or whatever he’s called this week. remember when he stood at the door and vetted all his guests? all white or they didn’t get in the door. he also inspected all the women for fresh manicures and pedicures. how tacky is that, inspecting your guests feet before you let them in to partake of your cristal and beluga.

sorry for the confusion headache. I know the etiquette books and especially those at etiquettehell.com would frown on guests taking it on themselves to wear white (although if it’s a nice tailored suit or something, I can’t see why not).
As for the whole party wearing it - I’ve never heard of it. Trust the French bourgoisie to insist on impractical clothing for the sake of one-upman-ship
Mind you, with about 50kg of rhinestones sellotaped to her backside NO-ONE will in doubt of exactly who the bride is

Mairead, I’m glad I’m not the only one literally waiting with baited breath for the tacky ass photos that are sure to follow. Mama Knowles done outdid herself this time I’m sure. There are disco balls less dressed up than Bey.
