Something old, something new, something borrowed… but not something blue, for heaven’s sake! A wedding guest made an accidental outfit faux-pas at a wedding, showing up to the ceremony dressed exactly like the bridesmaids. Luckily, she survived the embarrassment and recounted the incident.
Taylor Fogarty, from South Florida, USA, was left mortified when she realized the floor-length pastel blue dress she wore to attend a friend’s wedding was the same gown as the bridesmaids’.

She told Kenny News: “I immediately started going bright red and my stomach was in knots.
“I just got so uncomfortable I wanted to leave, I fully couldn’t enjoy myself.
“I didn’t talk to the bridesmaids, I approached the bride at the reception and apologized.
“I was so embarrassed I felt like I had to say something.”

As per The New York Post, Taylor said that the bride, who she had met prior to the event but wasn’t close to, insisted she didn’t mind.
Nevertheless, the South Floridian claimed she could tell the wife-to-be felt “some type of way about it.”
Taylor said she kept on bringing the accidental faux-up with other guests at the event because she was “so embarrassed.”

“Put what color my bridesmaids are wearing on my wedding website & to please avoid but who knows if anyone will see it,” someone else wrote.
An additional person chimed in: “That’s a literal bridesmaid dress.”
Taylor reportedly said the whole event was a lesson learned, and from now on, she would ask what bridesmaids were wearing at future weddings she attends.
