I am doing a black & white wedding. Not formal black tie, just black & white,,

Id like for both moms to be dressed in black. Not frumpy , but ithink with the pics & all it would look nice, if the immed family, My parents & his , are in black. ( the dads will be tuxes anyways)

My mom is cool with the idea, but my FMIL is like BLACK, its a wedding not a funeral,, I tried to tell her how elegant it looks & all, & she just keeps pushing the subject off by saying, Oh we have plenty of time, as if to say I may change my mind,,

So am I being outta line asking her to wear black, She can bead her self to death for all I care, long as its black, I even told her predominatly black,,

BTW ( this keeps it on the safe side as she could very well show up in a red dress with a slit up to there) So thats why I suggested black,,

I personally love black dresses. I think they will look very elegant. I am having my girls wear black dresses and I want them to carry bright red roses. I think that would look awesome.

As for your FMIL, if you are worried about what she is going to wear, why don't you go with her to pick out the dress? I plan on going with my FMIL.

I am sure my mom will wear black because she always wears black. I'd like FMIL to wear black but I am sure she won't. LOL So whatever.

i think that it would look nice but again like the others said my mom wanted to wear black bc she thinks it will make her look skinnier! but i wanted everyone to look bright and colorful in the pics
