HI 

This is always best answered by checking with the wedding couple. if this is not possible then I always suggest that if you are in doubt then dont do it.

All the best

I agree with Stuart, but add one caveat. If you are the Bride it IS okay to wear white. Societal norms in relation to traditions and values hold true for same sex weddings, as they have for traditional weddings. Do not feel pressured to not wear the dress of your dreams because it is a same sex wedding, it is your day, and what you want is what should be.

If you are a guest, then it is probably not appropriate, but having said that always consult with your friends first. As a guide if you are unsure, don't wear white as a guest.

I hope this helps

The same should be held for the bride at a gay wedding and white should not be worn out of respect.
