A bride’s dress code decision has sparked a debate on TikTok, but she’s standing by it.
TikToker Samantha’s wedding has already come and gone. Recently, Samantha shared the dress code she wanted her guests to abide by, and it did not go over well. People felt she was controlling and financially inconsiderate. Now, even in retrospect, she doesn’t think it was a big deal.

She requested people wear a neutral palette and provided them with a slew of potential colors like dark blues, grays and beiges.
“I posted on our wedding website some examples and just said, ‘Hey, I would like it if you wear something like this.’ Also, colors to avoid,” she said.
Some of the colors to avoid were red, orange, yellow and shades of white.
“Basically, everyone was outraged. I got so much crap for posting this. One of my aunts even told me, if I care so much about what she wears, she’s just not going to show up,” she explained.
She said she got an “insane” amount of phone calls from family members about the requirement.
“My mother-in-law was calling my husband saying, ‘What the heck is with Sam? Does she not understand that people don’t have money to buy a new outfit?’” Samantha said. “Everyone pretty much thought I was the devil for asking them to wear neutrals. Although, I think most people have gray or beige or navy blue in their wardrobe.”
Samantha insisted all she wanted was “cohesive wedding photos” that would “look good on our wall.”
People on TikTok had some pretty mixed reactions to Samantha’s idea.
“I would go along with it if asked, but also kinda think it’s getting ridiculous how obsessed people are with looking ‘aesthetic,’” a user said.
“If you want to decide my outfit, you’ll need to pay for it,” another wrote.
“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,” someone commented.
