<p>After explicitly asking her guests to wear neutral colors to her wedding, a bride was allegedly "annoyed" that everyone followed her dress code so well</p>
<p>On Reddit, a guest explained that the bride wanted a neutral backdrop so that her flowers could take center stage, but the reality left her feeling like everyone was attending a funeral</p>
<p>After the wedding was done, the bride was reportedly feeling "annoyed" about how well people listened to her rules, sparking a conversation amongst the Redditors about who was in the wrong</p>
<p>A bride got exactly what she asked for on her wedding day, but she wasn't thrilled with the outcome.</p>
<p>Taking to Reddit's Wedding Drama forum, a wedding guest revealed that they were asked to wear neutral colors while attending a coworker's wedding. They were then surprised to learn that the bride was "annoyed" by the fact that everyone followed her dress code.</p>
<p>"It was a lovely event, outdoor ceremony, simple decorations, and honestly, a very chill vibe overall. But there was a weird bit of tension that started before the wedding even happened, and came to a head at the reception," the Redditor explained, adding that the bride had asked for people to "wear neutral tones, think beige, cream, soft gray, taupe, or dusty rose" for her big day.</p>
<p>Her reasoning? According to the invitation, it was to "Let the flowers bring the color."</p>

<p>The attendee and "most of the other guests" respected the request and showed up in a sea of soft, neutral tones.</p>
<p>"But at the reception, during her toast, the bride jokingly said, I thought you guys would surprise me with a few pops of color, but I guess everyone really listened," the poster wrote, saying that the joke was met with "an awkward laugh."</p>
<p>They noted that the bride was "genuinely disappointed" and that she later told a friend that the guests looked like they were "dressed for a funeral."</p>
<p>Her response left some of the attendees concerned that they had misunderstood the request. But upon checking the invitation, they confirmed that the request was quite clear.</p>
<p>"She didn't say optional neutrals, she asked for them," the attendee wrote.</p>
<p>They continued, writing, "Now some mutual are saying she's annoyed at how seriously everyone took it, and that she wanted more vibrancy in the photos. Personally, I think if you want a specific look, you have to own it, not get passive-aggressive when people do what you ask."</p>

<p>In the replies to the post, many people agreed that the bride's response was unexpected and unwarranted.</p>
<p>"I don't clearly remember what our 125 wedding guests wore and frankly never gave it a thought," one Redditor wrote. "Dictating what you want your guests to wear to your wedding is obnoxious enough; this behavior takes it to a whole new level."</p>

<p>Another agreed, writing, "I know people wore clothes and nobody wore a bridal gown to our wedding!"</p>
<p>They continued, writing, "An acquaintance got married a couple years back and requested that everyone wear all black which is obnoxious in itself but if she'd then thrown a fit bc everyone was dressed for a funeral I woulda straight up left lol. Don't ask for something and get mad when you receive it!"</p>
<p>"How dare the guests do as she instructs them to do!!!!!" another person joked, adding, "I suspect she is one of those d----- if you do, d----- if you don't types. Complaining if some guests showed up colorful."</p>

<p>"Seems she was always going to find a way to be disappointed in the people attending her wedding. Which is sad, narcissistic and blamey," someone else noted.</p>
<p>While many people agreed that the bride's frustration wasn't fair or aimed in the appropriate direction, one Redditor explained that they sympathized with her.</p>
<p>"I actually feel a bit for the bride, she probably imagined a certain aesthetic and thought it would look elegant. It's sad that the reality didn't match her vision, but I don't think it was about control, just a misjudgment of how the vibe would actually feel in practice," they wrote.</p>
