A bride said she demanded all her guests wear black to her wedding. Footage of the ceremony has gone viral, but viewers are divided.

• A TikToker said she implemented an all-black dress code at her wedding.
• A video of the ceremony blew up with 4 million views but commenters were split on the end result.

A bride who asked her guests to stick to an all-black dress code shared the final results on TikTok and blew up in the process, but viewers were torn on the aesthetic, as some felt it looked like they were mourning instead of celebrating.

On September 7, a TikToker who goes by Jordan Bussey posted a video that showed a crowd of people smartly dressed in dark clothing walking down a path before being seated, with an on-screen caption that read, "when you ask your guests to wear all black to your wedding & they nail it."

The video went on to show the bride and groom, both dressed in white, surrounded by what appeared to be groomsmen and bridesmaids, also donning black, in front of a large gathering of color-coordinated guests.

It received 4 million views and over 900 comments, many of which seemed impressed with both the idea and the execution, wrote that it added an extra level of class to proceedings, and suggested it likely made life easier for the guests too as it simplified their outfit choices.

"I would be SOO happy to get a wedding invite that says 'black attire' takes all the stress away of finding something to wear!!! Love it!" one viewer wrote.

Others praised the uniformity and the fact everyone seemed to respect the dress code, but one viewer asked if the bride received any pushback from guests as they were considering the same idea for their own wedding.

"Some didn't understand & were confused why there was a dress code but I put examples & pictures on my website of what would be good to wear!" Bussey wrote in response.

Some were more concerned about the practicality of wearing all black, especially in a sunny setting, and the pressure it may put on attendees.

"Love that everyone listened!! But black attire outside in the heat is crazyy," a popular comment read, receiving over 16,100 likes.

Multiple comments were more critical of the overall aesthetic of the ceremony, and the fact an all-black dress code was usually reserved for more dour occasions, and felt it gave the wedding a morbid appearance.

"It's giving funeral vibes... weddings should be colorful," one viewer wrote and received 900 likes.

In response, Bussey wrote, "So sorry you feel that way! Thank goodness it was my wedding."

Bussey has 135,000 followers on TikTok and has recently posted a series of videos about her wedding, including a closer look at her bridesmaid's black outfits and her own white dress, honeymoon outfit ideas, and clips from the big day. She did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Dress code etiquette at weddings has long been a controversial topic on TikTok, and those who go against the norm often receive backlash as a result, from guests who have committed the fashion faux pas of wearing a white dress to someone else's ceremony, to a bride who eschewed tradition and opted for a pink wedding gown.
