I’m so serious, ask her. You guys had a formerly strained relationship, and you don’t want to exacerbate it by overstepping by dressing the same as other or not reading the room and wearing a different color. Communication is a very important step in mending relationships. Just be like hi what color would you like me to wear?
also i’m concerned that a lot of people are going to wear blue to a nautical wedding, and we have a big family, so i’m going to look insane in family photos if everyone but me wears blue. but i also don’t want to look like i’m trying to be a bridesmaid even though i’m not or pick the wrong shade of navy and clash.
no she’s alienated her family in favor of the people in her bridal party, and i don’t know them. i chose a neutral brown bc it was harder to find dresses that fit than i thought. already own a less formal navy dress that i will probably bring for photos in case i show up and she asks why i’m not wearing navy.
