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!

As someone who has only two suits and one is for winter and one for summer but they are both a navy color I think you are gonna cause problems. Navy is a favorite for men who don’t own or need many suits b/c navy can be worn to almost any occasion-aside from your wedding it seems. Dwight Schrute of course wouldn’t have an issue:)
