White is only taboo if the dress could be worn as a wedding gown. You are correct that red or wearing anything too bright is not polite to wear.

I'm not responsible for the graphics, but it is true that is it expected that we write a thank you note as soon as a gift is received. But, I'm sorry to have to disagree. It is now considered absolutely fine to wear black and even white for weddings these days. Even mothers wear black, as it is a common wedding theme. However, it wasn't socially acceptable just a decade ago.

She gets most of the etiquette right, except for it still IS offensive to wear black dresses to a wedding-- black, white, and red should be avoided. Also, the guests said to write notes immediately but the graphics say to wait until after the wedding to write the notes, which is not correct.
If I had the budget I'd send everyone in the country a Miss Manners book. She is fantastic and the most knowlegeable.
I think I'll have my wedding on Friday........

They didn't cover if wearing white was appropriate or not. Personally I have a dress that is white but has a floral print on it. I actually called the bride and asked her if it was ok to wear or not. She said "Only the bride wears white". ....Though I didn't agree with it I respected her choice. But I am glad I asked.

It was very proper to ask the bride's preference--bravo. But, in light of today's wedding etiquette it is appropriate for women to wear white as long as it couldn't be confused with a wedding dress/gown.

Etiquette 'rules' changes through the years. We really need to have a common thread amoung all of the 'experts' opinions. Sometimes that doesn't happen for a number of years, due to our resistance to change. Eventually, most of us do end up agreeing.

I also read Miss Manners and all other etiquette specialists. She is very good and one of my favorites. In fact, I agree with her more than most of the others about gift giving and tipping.
I have been in the etiquette business for decades. So, I really do know what is considered socially acceptable behavior. It is safe to follow my suggestions, as many already do and have for years.
