A WEDDING guest has divided opinion after she was banned from wearing her dress by the bride.

The scorned woman was slammed by some for picking a "bridal" style, while others felt she was unfairly treated by a bridezilla.

Posting her story on Reddit, the confused friend showed off the controversial outfit, which retails at around £620.

It was cream in colour, with delicate white, pink and red flowers sewn from top to bottom.

The frock is ankle length with mid-length sleeves and a plunging v-neck line.

The dress code was also shared: "Colourful formal with a floral twist, interesting patterns and prints, high-hats, scarves, oversized jackets, favourite dress. 

"Wedding ceremony by the ocean, followed by dinner reception and party.

"The setting of the party is a micro-village with festivities shifting between our garden, adjacent to the ocean and at our house."

She asked the forum their thoughts, and added: "I'm kind of thinking of this gorgeous Teuta Matoshi but I suspect folks in this community would have better ideas?"

There were a lot of comments in sympathy with the bride, one said: "This designer is really blowing up in popularity for brides, I'd avoid any of their white/off-white/cream/ivory dresses as a guest."

Another commented:  "My wedding dress is by her! Gorgeous dresses all around, but this one is a bit close to 'bridal.'

"I'd clear it with the bride first."

"This one looks very bridal to me, especially with that theme. I'd go for a more colourful one to match the dress code, or perhaps one with a less 'bridal' silhouette," agreed a third.

Others felt while the dress wasn't technically white, it was still "too bridal".

But a lot of people fell in love with the elegant outfit. Someone posted: "Omg, this is stunning. Thank you all for sharing about this designer.

"Now I shall add it all to my list of things that’ll make me go broke. They’re such gorgeous dresses."

"Holy s*** I think I just died and went to dress heaven. One of each please," added another impressed user.

After clashing opinions battled in the comment section, the wedding guest asked the bride herself.

She said: "Update: checked with the bride and this dress is canceled. Seeking recommendations for alternatives!"

Pre-wedding tensions can cause rifts between many brides and their guests.

One woman moaned about her bridesmaid's grey hairs and ordered her to dye them before the ceremony.

She said: "It’s really unsightly and I’m worried it’s going to take away from the beauty of the dress I chose for her."

Another guest actually boycotted her partner's brother's big day after his wife-to-be banned the dress she chose.

The bride stated it was too similar to her bridesmaid dresses - despite being a different colour and material.

Plus, one 'bridezilla' who refused to let her bridesmaids even wear dresses because they would look "too pretty".

She wrote: "My girls will be wearing formal pantsuits and my maid of honour is wearing a dress. These girls are going to be covered!"
