The people of TikTok are seriously divided after learning of one bride who asked her wedding guests to stick to a specific colour code.
TikTok creator Samantha Twist (@samanthatwist) shared the guidelines she gave guests ahead of her big day including the dress code and even colours to avoid.
Watch her video here:
The former bride admitted that her rules sparked "outage" among her friends and family and her husband-to-be was subject to an "insane" amount of phone calls from irritated guests.
While some viewers agreed that asking guests to stick to a colour code was a step too far, others defended Samantha, arguing that she could do whatever she wanted on her own wedding day.

One TikTok user commented: "I would go along with it if asked, but also kinda think it's getting ridiculous how obsessed people are with looking 'aesthetic.'"
Another added: "It’s an important day for you and a normal one for everyone else. Chill a bit. It’s more important that people come and have fun and celebrate with you."
And a third joked: "If you want to decide my outfit, you’ll need to pay for it."

Admitting that they couldn't see the problem, one TikTok user commented: "Our dress code was formal. I honestly can’t stand people that show up in whatever to a wedding. It’s an important day, make an effort."
Also deciding that there was nothing wrong with Samantha's colour-code, a second wrote: "I don’t get the hate. It’s disingenuous to pretend aesthetics aren’t a part of a wedding. I personally love a theme! It’s like we all coordinated!"
While a third viewer admitted: "I would love that level of instruction, I hate feeling underdressed and also overdressed!"

And a fourth said: "It’s your wedding I’ll do whatever you want. Why are people so mad…. Make the bride and groom happy, it’s their day!"
Is this a step too far, or is the bride always right?
