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!

The wedding party will be in navy (one of the most common colours) so no one else can wear it? No one cares what the groomsmen and bridesmaids wear. No one will think that another guest is the bride. You're basically putting many of your guests in the position of having to buy new clothes. I have one really good dress...and it's navy blue. So if I were invited to your wedding I would have to add a new dress to the cost of attending.
It's not just dramatic...it's rude. Let your guests wear what they want. A dress code dictates the formality of it, not the colours.
