My MOH hates it!

My MOH hates it!

I found a BM dress that I love and my MOH who is my sister thinks it's hideous and wants to pick out her own dress. We have VERY different taste and I really don't want her to pick out her own.

Is this BM really ugly?

No, it is not ugly, it's beautiful. I would remind her it is your wedding, and ask her (nicely of course) to try it on before she closes her mind to it. When you go dress shopping with her, let her try on things she likes (that you might not) before you close your mind to it.

I'm sure, in the end, you'll find something you can both live with (and if not, remember - it's your wedding)

Re: My MOH hates it!

I like the dress, but it is very different and some people may not like it. Yes, it is your wedding, but sometimes its not worth the hassle to argue about it. Go try it on, and see how you both feel then. As we all know, you can't tell anything about a dress until its on a real person.

Re: My MOH hates it!

I happen to think it's a cute dress! BUT, If your MOH doesn't think so, then I would at least open your mind to let her try dresses that she would be comfortable in... The thing is, if your MOH and/or bridesmaids are really unhappy with their dresses, they will complain the entire day of your wedding, won't want to do photos, because they will not be comfortable etc... I would suggest going shopping together and comprimising on a dress you both like...

I really like it.. Ask your Moh if she can try it on and see what she says.. and remember it is your wedding

Re: My MOH hates it!

Thanks guys.
I really like it the best so. I will definitely let her try on other dresses but so far this is my favorite. I'm not having bridesmaids so I don't have to worry really about finding dresses they will like. My MOH is my sister though and I know when the time comes for her to get married she is NOT going to let me pick out my dress. And I'm fine with that. It would be HER wedding and she should do what she likes for it. I'm just a little upset..I'm thinking she thinks that because she's my sister she doesn't have to do what I want.

Re: My MOH hates it!

I like it, let her try on a bunch of dresses and go from there. This is what I did and I got the dress I wanted all along. It might look great on her.

Re: My MOH hates it!

Honestly it is your wedding and I don't think that she has a right to insist that she pick out her own dress.....IT'S YOUR DAY!!!!!!

Re: My MOH hates it!

I like it, its your wedding-- maybe you guys can come to an agreement on a dress
good luck

Re: My MOH hates it!

I personally like it. The only thing that bugs me is the one shoulder strap. Maybe you can turn it into a strapless and she'd like it better? I hope you guys can find a happy medium

Re: My MOH hates it!

Personally, she is the one wearing the dress. You should really compromise. Have her try on that dress and others. If she really hates it, she will be upset at your wedding. It may show in pictures.

i agree with AlliNMatt... You shouldnt force her to wear a dress she hates and dosnt feel comfortable in... i think compromising on this one would work for everyone....it is your wedding and you should have final say on giving a yes or no for the dress... but it really stinks to wear a dress for an entire evening that you just dont feel good about yourself in...

why dont the two of you just head out to the bridal salon and try on a bunch of dresses...personally, i found it much easier to do this then to hunt through pics... i spent so much time printing out dresses that i liked, then we went to the bridal salon and we couldnt even find half of them... so we tried on what they had there until we found one that we all loved...
