Late May, central CA winery wedding with a formal dress code. I’m one of several bridesmaids asked to truly wear whatever we want as long as it is sage green. I’ve been searching for sage dresses and the options are…fine. All really similar from the bridesmaid collections (revelry, lulus, azizie, David bridal, birdy grey), macdougal, Nordstrom, Saks all similar or boldly colored with sage/closer to black tie.

Want: -Looks different/fashion/artsy while fitting in with what’s a pretty traditional wedding -a slit or similar to show leg and have movement (but not a short skirt) -open to the way it fits

Don’t want:

• Heavy lower half (no princess skirts, etc)

• SUPER low cut (32dd)

• that kinda cheap looking satin that’s so popular

About me: 5,9 155-160 Slightly broad shoulders Light olive complexion with dark long hair Budget is open, prob not over $4-500 and that would need to be really special (this isn’t a luxury crowd, so I’d want to wear it again, etc). I love Maison margiela, late 90s Prada, Jil Sander, the row, Loewe, farm rio, Marni, madewell, I run the gamut!

Any recommendations would be super fun and I’d be very grateful.

POSTED A SMALL UPDATE ON MY PAGE ABOUT THE GROOM AND WHAY POSSIBLY TRIGGERED THE BRIDE

EDIT: I posted the messages and a similar dress on my profile :)

EDIT 2: IT WAS 32°C IN AN OPEN AREA! Everyone was wearing short sleeve, strapless or/and spaghetti strap

EDIT 3 (update): Showed my parents the messages and now they're pressing charges

LAST EDIT: Please DO NOT send me messages asking for my pics. I am not comfortable with it, so stop.

I recently attended a wedding and now the bride has been accusing me of destroying her big day.

I am 17yrs old, and the wedding it's from my dad's friend daughter. One of her demands was for girls to be modest, simple colour, and makeup. The request was okay to me because it was her event.

The big day came and I wore a satin sage dress, which is beautiful, but still modest, and for the makeup it was just some shimmery eyeshadow with some transparent gloss. During the wedding, the bride's mom suddenly asked to talk to me alone which was weird, since she should've been talking to my dad instead.

She bought me to the bride's dressing room and it was awkward. The bride started to berate me for wearing the dress saying I'm too flashy, I'm stealing her spotlight and gave me the alternative to leave the wedding or wear a black dress who's double my size, and remove my makeup. I refused, because the outfit the bride wanted me to wear would've been too bothersome for me to be pulling the dress all the time plus my parents would be asking about my original dress.

The bride started crying, and I told my parents everything she demanded, than they got angry at her. Because of it, they said they're not going to give any wedding money to her, which lead to a fight between my dad and his friend. Today the bride sent me hateful messages saying I ruined her wedding. AITA?
