Say YES! to Wedding Etiquette!

To post or not to post....that is the question!

Wedding Etiquette, aka Weddiquette is always a topic of contention. I blame the need to constantly define what is socially acceptable/unacceptable on life in the year 2016 and in the Age of Social Media; we are social creature but through our phones and apps. When mom and dad are Instagram and Twitter, real life away from the 'rents has become a little skewered.  Add in our worship at the church of celebrity and you got the potential to run into a lot of star culture/real people confusion. Case in point: Beyoncé and Blue Ivy decked out in white at a wedding last year, pictures splashed across the Internet and giving everyday brides who want their wedding dresses to be the only white dresses in room a much weaker case.  So it just seemed fitting that as we head into prime-time wedding season that we bone up on some common wedding issues that might crop up in the next few months, and what better way than with Etiquette expert Lisa Orr who delivered some wedding etiquette gold on 'The Social' last week!

Over the weekend, Beyoncé attended a wedding with her adorable Blue Ivy.... And these very famous guests wore white. Yep - white!  I know we've lightened up on not wearing white after Labour Day; winter white looks crisp and so, so mint, especially when you factor in the textural appeal of faux furs, knits and weaves, suedes or leathers.  But, have we changed our mind on wearing white to a wedding, if we're guests and not brides?  While brides are increasingly adding hints and splashes of colour with their dresses, sometimes even eschewing the colour white and all the shades and tones in its colour family completely, I still consider white the domain of the bride and her wedding party that day,  whether she utilizes it not, or as requested by the bride (years ago, we were invited to a wedding with a black and white dresscode for guests, as per the bride and groom). For all the changes we've seen in regard to how weddings look, I think we'll always associate a white dress with a bride and any guest who wears this colour will stand out.  Am I being too old-fashioned and outdated? I mean, I wrote two days ago about including beloved pets in a wedding; I love when wedding parties no longer segregate ladies and gents on each side of the aisle, I think grandmothers as flower girls is so endearing and heartwarming and I LOVE me a non-white wedding dress. But not wearing white to a wedding almost feels like a tenet in Girl Code; even if a bride doesn't wear white, the colour feels like it's off the table, so to speak.  So why am I stuck on this one point? This opened up the debate on 'The Social' yesterday about this very topic and I think the Beyoncé factor kind of stalled the discussion, but that doesn't mean we can't hash out whether we think it's onside or offside to wear white to a wedding if you're a guest!

Introductions and a Modern Refresher on Etiquette

Hello Lovely People!

We are Limitless Events and we’re thrilled you’re stopping by! For 2015, we’re kicking off the year with a new website and a shiny new blog to go with it so please drop by often! We’ll be blogging about all things Wedding – cool new trends, pictures to make you swoon, decor ideas and themes, anything really! – so make sure you bookmark us and visit frequently. We look forward to sharing what grabs us, inspires us, amuses us and enlightens us with you!

For our inaugural post we wanted to share something that aired last week on CTV's daytime talk show "The Social". The show is broadcast daily Monday to Friday, and features informative segments that cover the bases from fashion, beauty, health, finance, food and drink, celebrity gossip all the way to delving into current news events, lively discussion and debate. And that's not even taking into account the people who stop by to chat with the ladies, guests that run the gamut from Eugenie Bouchard to Lena Dunham to Justin Trudeau. Last Friday, they interviewed Bettie Bradley, a seasoned wedding expert who answered some timely questions about wedding etiquette.

As time goes on and wedding ideals evolve and new ideas take shape, the rules of the game find themselves subject to revision or change. But this interview was a good reminder that even though trends come and go and then make way for the next big things, good wedding etiquette never goes out of style. Take a look, and don't forget to catch "The Social" for more good stuff like this!
