‘Your guests are not dolls,’ people shout as ‘bridezilla’ bans their guests’ outfits
A ”BRIDEZILLA” has come under fire after she banned a female guest’s outfit because it was ”too similar” to her own dress.
The woman, of the USinstituted a dress code ahead of her wedding, requesting that female attendees wear “cocktail attire” such as dresses, chic skirts or formal jumpsuits.

However, when a friend sent her a photo of the look she wanted, the stunned bride immediately responded negatively, saying the outfit resembled her white dress.
The friend wore a tight, sleeveless black top over a flowing, long, gold tulle skirt with a small black polka dot pattern. According to her, this fit was perfect for the code.
Unfortunately for the guest, the bride disagreed, saying the color was very similar to her wedding dress.
“She said, ‘Well, your dress isn’t polka-dotted, is it?’” the woman shared the drama on Reddit.
“Am I the crazy Bridezilla here?” asked other Redditors for advice and their thoughts.
To the bride’s great surprise, hundreds of people shouted out the original poster, while everyone agreed on one thing: that the two outfits were completely different.
“That doesn’t look like your dress at all. I thought the problem would be that her outfit would be too casual for your dress code if she paired it with that top,” someone said.
Another agreed, writing: “That skirt doesn’t look like a wedding skirt to me at all – it looks yellow or pale gold, but I don’t think anyone would mistake her for the bride.”
Among social media users, there were many who felt that the woman was ‘nagging’ about the guests’ attire, especially since there was already a certain dress code that they had to adhere to.
“You, wear fall colors. And you, no, not like that,” someone joked.
“I think you’re getting into bridezilla territory when you criticize her outfit. You were talking about elegant fall colors and she hit the nail on the head,” wrote another.
Others felt the American bride had her priorities wrong.
“Why not focus on the love of your life and your marriage instead of obsessing over your outfit announcement even more than it already does,” someone asked.
There were also those who felt she was far too controlling. One critic wrote: “Your guests are not dolls that you can dress up however you want. There is nothing bridal about this outfit, stop it.”
But not everyone was immediately against the ‘bridezilla’: one person, for example, argued that if the friend had sent the snap without being asked, the bride had every right to give her honest opinion.
This comes after social media users insisted that the ‘pink’ dress of wedding guests is the same colour as the ‘brides’.
Wedding Guest Etiquette
If you’re having trouble choosing a dress for wedding season, here are a few rules about what not to wear so you don’t get into trouble.
- According to tradition, wearing red to a wedding means you have slept with the groom.
- Informal clothing such as jeans and flip-flops should always be avoided.
- Any color that can be recognized as white or cream, even if it is not.
- Most will agree that your décolletage should be covered.
- Wearing white is absolutely taboo if you are not the bride.
Kate (@ poses in the champagne maxi dressworm5063) said: ”I’m going to a wedding on Saturday and I wanted to wear this dress.”
The beautiful dress, which was also decorated with flowers and a bow on the back, was in her eyes ”clearly pink”.
But despite Kate looking like a real princess, she was quickly thrown on stage, because not everyone thought the ‘pink’ dress was suitable for a wedding.
“Honestly, that dress looks beige/cream to me, not pink,” one person wrote.
“I wouldn’t risk it, it’s a color I see brides wearing sometimes.”
Someone else asked: “In what world is that pink?”
