She clarified that she didn’t want to make her mum fork out for a new Filipiniana in a different colour, as she already has one.

The bride added: “She already has the dress and I don't want to make her buy another just because it might be ‘weird’ or a ‘faux pas’ to some.”

on the dress.

One person said: “The last thing you want is an overzealous but well meaning relative "accidentally" spilling red wine on it.”

Someone else thought: “I am Irish and people will definitely need a heads up that it's part of your culture. Because here, no-one except the bride wears white to a wedding.

A third commented: “Hey, if an all-white bridal party is good enough for Beyonce's family, it's good enough for the rest of us.

Someone else advised: “Address it head on! You know those funny/emotional toasts brides and grooms give at their wedding?

“Joke about how a lot of people may be shocked that your mom is wearing white and then tell them how it's part of your tradition and the significant of the dress.

“Everyone will love it and will go home with more knowledge than they came!”
