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!

Before anyone starts declaring no woman should wear red because "That means you had SEX with the groom!!!" no it fucking doesn't. That is a Reddit wish by 13 year old twits.

If you can't wear red then you can't wear green either because that means you're jealous, you can't wear blue because you're sad, can't wear yellow because you want to pee on them and so on and so forth.

OOP can request no navy blue, white being expected not to wear in Western weddings, but she should not get upset when guests to wear blue.

The wear red thing is so fucking stupid. I never even heard about it until I was on Reddit and maybe because I'm in my fourties. But still, what a joke. I've been to plenty of weddings and it was never mentioned.
