After unintentionally wearing the same dress to a marriage as the bridesmaids, a girl was left furious, revealing that the bride had been less than impressed.
Taylor Fogarty, from Florida, bought a ground- size pastel orange clothing to enter a friend’s nuptials, but when the bridesmaids began walking down the aisle she realized she’d made a big mistake.
Although there are no strict guidelines for visitor clothing, it is generally against the law to perform some fashion looks, including wearing light because it would be considered to “upstage the wedding” and the bridal party’s uniform.
In Fogarty’s situation, she was not only dressed to match the wedding’s color palette, she was also in the identical same outfit as the bridesmaids.
After the terrible incident, the 28-year-old was left “dying inside” for the entire occasion, saying she felt bad for causing a bride faux pas.
“My belly was in knots, and I immediately started to turn beautiful red. I only got so uneasy I wanted to leave, I entirely wasn’t like myself”, Fogarty told Kennedy News.
“I didn’t talk to the bridesmaids, I approached the bride at the reception and apologized. I felt like I had to say something because I was thus uncomfortable.”
She claimed that the bride, who she had met before the wedding but wasn’t close to, insisted she didn’t mind, but Fogarty claimed she could tell the woman she felt “some kind of way about it.”
Mayo claimed that she brought it up because she felt “but embarrassed” at the wedding.
“When I was getting food at the meal, an older person said something about it. I merely walked ahead dying inside”, she said.
“It makes me cringe”.
Some social media users shared similar experiences with Mayo, but another felt Fogarty should have been more aware.
“It happened to me next summer. One social media user said that couples really need to specify the colors they don’t want attendees to wear on the invitation.”
Another added: “I may have gone home. For real.”
“Yup I did that too. A ranger green silk dress … I was so ashamed. Some asked why I wasn’t sitting with the wedding party, while others said.”
One added: “You went dressed as a bride, soooo”.
“A girl I didn’t care for wore the same dress as my bridesmaids, just in a different color. I was salt but I got over it,” one added.
One social media users said: “Girl… what were you thinking.”
Fogarty argued that the entire experience was a learning and that she would continue to inquire about bridesmaid attire at upcoming celebrations she attends.
