Some people say you shouldn't wear any white, it is reserved for the bride. It will be hot outside and I'd like to wear sandals, a rose colored top and white peasant style skirt. Is this acceptable?

It's probably ok. But you could still avoid the white anyway, just in case.

it depends on how formal the wedding is and how traditional the bride is. Traditionally, you should not wear any white. However, seeing as how this is an outdoor wedding (and apparently pretty casual), it doesn't seem like it should be a problem. If you're concerned, ask the the maid of honor (or another member of the bridal party whom you know) to bring it up - the bride would likely get flustered and say yes even if she didn't want to.
If you're still concerned, substitute an off-white or cream skirt - both of which are fine under any circumstance. Wearing a pink skirt also sounds nice with the top you're describing.
I hope I helped!

White is acceptable at an outdoor wedding IF the wedding falls between Easter and Labor Day. However, the white should be patterned or broken with a color, like your blouse.
Outdoor weddings, even when described as "formal," are really informal. Your choice acceptable. If the bride wanted the guests to be formal, she would have chosen a formal location!

My sister wore a coloured top and white skirt to a wedding and looked really well, I saw other people in the photos (guests) wearing some white too. I think its fine, just so long as it isn't a white summer dress or something OTT white. I don't think guests should feel limited to avoiding white entirely, esp if its hot weather, I don't see why not, you don't want to wear black, and the fact that you're asking this qn shows you don't want to upset the bride, so if anything is said, just print off your yahoo qn to prove that you didn't wanna cause offence! Lol! Just kidding, enjoy the wedding. :)

You can certainly wear white, just as long as it's not over the top. You should never out do the bride. A white skirt and a colored top are perfectly fine.

Wear whatever the heck you want! As an organist I sit right up in front on the altar for many weddings. And quite often I'm wearing a white skirt or choir robe. It's not like my dress is a huge billowing formal gown with a veil!

i think you can wear white to a wedding - you've got the colour to go with it so you're not trying to steal the bride's thunder or anything. maybe you could use a brightly coloured scarf as a belt for the skirt as well? but only if you're still feeling a bit self conscious about wearing something white..

It's perfectly acceptable to wear a white skirt, but not a white formal-length gown.

As far as I know there is nothing wrong with wearing a white skirt with a colored top-as long as you don't put on the whole formal gown, otherwize it's cool.

yeah, well, some people say the bride wears white to signify virginity.
If she isn't honoring that custom why should you have to avoid a white skirt?
I bet they've been getting it together for months.
