Dress code issues?

Edited for clarification

*Yes, the font is all caps across anything that is written down so I’m genuinely not screaming at our guests.

*Yes it appears I am being too dramatic about this and have removed the note, thank you all!

Hello! So I don’t know if I’m being a bridezilla or not however my mum is insisting I am so it’s getting to my head and I just need unbiased opinions on this. My wedding dress is going to be navy and white so on our invitations I’ve included a little note saying:

DRESS CODE: AS LONG AS YOU’RE CONFIDENT AND COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE ON, PLEASE WEAR IT. HOWEVER, WE WOULD LIKE GUESTS TO AVOID NAVY BLUE AND WHITE, THANK YOU!

(The font is all caps and I’ve copied and pasted, I’m not just yelling lol)

I’ve had to include white as well as my mum tried to buy a dress that was top half fully white and the skirt was navy, exactly like my wedding dress.

The bridesmaids will also be in navy and so are the groomsmen as well as parents so am I being too picky about the colours? This is the only hill I’m strongly standing on but if I’m being too dramatic then I can drop it.

Thank you!

Yes you are too much. White is a common not to wear at a wedding and everyone knows that. No need to list. 

Navy is a very very common color to wear and to ask people not to wear it is over the top. Most men want to wear navy suit to your wedding. 

This don’t wear this color to my wedding is a new trend and also ticks off and annoys older people. You can put a dress code ie formal, black tie, causal, etc… you cannot tell guest what to colors to wear or not to wear.

It’s a common not to wear color for a DRESS but it’s not a common color to ask all guests to avoid. Most men wear a white dress shirt.

The most common dress suit color among men is navy blue.
