At most weddings, we expect to have to break out our best dresses and suits for the occasion, and any formal wear is usually fine as long as it isn't white - or whatever other colour the bride might be wearing. But some couples will choose to have a theme to their wedding that they'd like people to follow, often in the form of a specific colour scheme they want people to wear.
One bride and groom, however, have split opinions online after they said they were keen to have a Disney dress code at their wedding - but banned any form of costume for any guests except children.

Instead, the couple want their guests to try their hand at Disneybounding, which is the process of taking the colour scheme and style of an existing Disney character and wearing everyday clothes that match.
Disneybounding is most often seen in practice at Disney's theme parks, where adult visitors are not allowed to wear costumes as they may get confused for the actors, so have to get creative with ways they can represent their favourite characters through normal clothes.
At the bride's upcoming wedding, however, there's also a ban on any princes or princesses, and guests cannot wear clothing of a "similar colour" to any of the Disney royalty - as they could upstage the couple.
In a screenshot of a wedding invite that was shared on Reddit, the bride and groom stated: "Dress code: Formal clothing Disneybound. Choose any character from a Disney movie (Marvel, Pixar, Disney classic) that is NOT a princess or a prince, and wear pieces of clothing similar in colour to them. DO NOT wear a costume, except for children."
The post split opinions online, with some saying they "loved" the idea, and others who weren't so sure the theme was a good idea - especially if people don't understand what Disneybounding is.
One person said: "I love this, but feel like Disneybounding would be difficult for some people to understand and they'd turn up in Halloween costumes."
While another added: "I don’t think this makes them a bride or groomzilla at all. The requests all seem reasonable."
But someone else disagreed, stating: "The guests' clothing is going to be all over the place. If you want people to Disneybound in formal wear, you need to provide examples."
And a fourth wrote: "So just, colours then?"
