Is it ever ok to wear another culture’s wedding dress?

How do you feel about another culture wearing your cultural wedding dress?

I am not sure why but some Lao people I know will have a Lao wedding dress and also a Thai one just because they think it’s pretty. The Lao seamstress even told me this. Granted, they’re both similar cultures and neighboring countries, they’re still different. The pattern, the scarf going diagonally is different. Lao traditional hair is in a bun cone shape. In my opinion, I feel like you shouldn’t wear another cultures just because is pretty. They’re both pretty so why not stick to your own cultural wear? Thoughts? See below for the images.
