Outrage after groom's mother wears white fishtail gown to son's wedding

A mother of the groom sparked outrage when she wore a white fishtail gown to her son's wedding.

It's considered a faux pas to wear white at a wedding if you're not the bride as you risk upstaging her special day.

But that didn't stop this blonde mother who wore a strapless white fishtail gown to her soon-to-be daughter-in-law's big day.

The mum posed up for pictures with the bridesmaids and could easily have been mistaken for the bride herself.
