I am going to a outdoor wedding. The skirt goes to my knees, and I have a solid blue shirt to wear with it. Is this okay? I don't want to offend the bride.

Sure it's ok. I wore white to my son's wedding, his wife was fine with it.

I think it really depends on how much you'll be seen standing near the bride and the wedding party, especially in pictures.
If you're just going to be there as a guest, it's not such a big deal. But if you are associated with the wedding party or the family in any way, you might want to reconsider in case you offend people you don't want to. You can always check with the bride. Most brides really appreciated people taking their feelings into consideration.
Keep in mind the shade of the skirt you're wearing for photo ops too. If the bride is more in an ivory color, your white skirt might make her dress look "dirty" white. If her dress is bold white but your skirt is not, it will make your skirt look bad.
Good luck!

It is absolutely acceptable! However, you should choose carefully and accessorize brightly! Since it is only a skirt, and you said you will be wearing a blue shirt up to, I say go ahead! I recommend the blue shirt as long as that is not her colors in the wedding. As long as you don't outdo the bride, which with a skirt, you probably won't! I found this little blurb that I thought also might be helpful:
Wearing white: since the popularization of the white wedding dress in the mid-19th century, women have avoided wearing white to a wedding, so that the bride might uniquely shine in her white wedding gown. Be careful to not select anything that might cause anyone to mistake you for the bride. Since current bridal fashions are sleeker than ever, and many older and second time brides dress in wedding suits, you might embarrass yourself (and the bride) in a white outfit. If you plan to wear white, choose carefully, and accessorize with color.
I hope you have a wonderful time @ the wedding :-)

I would not be offended if someone wore a white skirt to my wedding, but some brides might be, everyone thinks different? but how well do you know the bride? If in doubt, i'd say go w something different..

It depends on the bride do you have anything else? It's really not worth it to upset anyone. Maybe if you are close enough to the bride you could ask her opinion on the skirt. I'm thinking if you have to ask if it would be a problem then maybe you could wear something else

I know not everyone thinks alike, but geez guys, Lighten up. I see nothing wrong with wearing a white skirt with a colored top as long as it's not overly fancy, lacy, or prettier than the bridal gown.
I'm having an outdoor wedding in 4 days and it's supposed to be hot here in Missouri. I would not be offended if anyone show up in anything white as long as they were cool and comfortable. AND, as long as I know they are not trying to compete with me.
When in doubt ask. If you know the bride personally, just ask her feelings on the subject. Good luck!

I am shocked at how many answerers said its ok... its not. Even if the bride doesnt care, everyone else will be wondering what you were thinking. White as part of a pattern is fine- solid white is reserved for the bride.

As a soon to be bride I can tell you that it might offend her. My stepmom informed me this last weekend that her skirt is white and I asked her if there was something else she can wear. Not that I care too much but it could offend other people other than the bride, also. They might think you are being rude. It's just a rule of thumb for a wedding. No one wears white, but the bride. It's her special day to really stand out.

If that's what you may artwork with perhaps attempt donning a protracted headscarf belt or some thing with it that suits the colour in the blouse or some thing of comparable effect. Then it breaks up the actual fact you're donning white much greater.

No, it's not okay. Everything that I wear has the mjority of the color being white. I'm going to my uncle's wedding in a few weeks and I have to go shopping to get something appropriate. Never, never wear white to a wedding unless you're the bride.

I dont see why it should be a problem. any bride who woul be offended by someone wearing a white skirt shouldnt be getting married but rather at home playing with her dolls becuase that immature. your shirt is blue so your not wearing all white. and to be honest...even if someone had showed up at my wedding in all white I wouldnt have cared. whatever my guests felt comfortable in was fien with me.
