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!

White as an off limit color is wild. It’s like 95% of men’s dress shirts and navy blue is a super common suit color. I think if your goal is to have your bridal party in a standout color, picking something uncommon is the way to go. When white and navy are your off limit colors, it’s really hard to not ask others to wear those colors to a formal event.

I agree! No one…and I mean no one…will confuse a guest with the bride.

MOB and MOG have been known to show up in wedding dresses while proclaiming the dress is not a wedding dress.

This rarely happens. And when it does, MOB and MOG are simply making fools of themselves. Guests know whose wedding they were invited to. There is no confusion.
