Dolores Catania Sparks Wedding Backlash Over Pale Blue Gown at Son's 1 Portugal Ceremony

Summary
Dolores Catania drew hundreds of online comments after posting photos from her son Frank Catania Jr.'s wedding in Portugal, with critics saying her embellished pale blue gown looked too close to white.
Reddit users split over whether the dress was white, silver or light blue, but many argued it photographed like white and accused the reality-TV star of trying to upstage bride Nicole Perricho.
Wedding etiquette generally tells guests to avoid white so attention stays on the bride, and commenters said pale shades can create the same problem in photos.
The dispute tapped into a long Western tradition: white bridal gowns became standard only after Queen Victoria's 1840 wedding helped popularize the color.
