Telling guests what to wear?

I was looking at a wedding cruise company with a really old ship, and they ask people to board with light colored shoes to protect the deck. If you were to get married there, and warn people that the crew will ask you to take off dark shoes, is that crossing the line of telling guests what to wear? Is that an etiquette faux pas? I can't afford it anyway but I'm just curious.

    Yes, what Joan said.  It would be a negative point about the venue for me because it's pretty onerous on guests.  But I think it's okay to pass along the requirements of the venue ahead of time.

    That's kind of a stupid rule, I have a pair of black flats that are scuff mark proof (or whatever it is you call it).  I don't think I have any "light" coloured shoes, as I generally pick neutrals.

     As a guest, I'd rather know in advance. I'd hate to have shoes confiscated at the door.

    No, it's not crossing a line when it's a venue requirement.

    I don't think that's crossing the line. I get it. And I'd want to know ahead of time.

    I think it's okay because it's not a silly bridezilla demand; it's the venue's requirement.
