Re: My mother..
That's what I told her!! We'll see what happens. It's all because she went dress shopping without me. Gr..

Re: My mother..
My mom is wearing my exact wedding colors in her dress - its navy blue and toward the bottom of the dress, it fades to a light blue in a few spots (pic in album). I think it's great, but at the same time, when my MOH dropped out, I asked my Mom to stay up at the altar with me after she walks me down the aisle - I kinda renamed her Mom of Honor ...

Yea, my situation is definitely a little different than yours. Did her mom match her wedding party? Maybe you should find an old wedding picture to prove her wrong ...

Re: My mother..
LOL, no my Gma didn't match my Mom's party...I think this is just a new 'thing' she is harping on now. And the funny thing about is the dress she picked out looks gorgeous LOL. But I am not letting her get away with this one!

Re: My mother..
OK this almost happened to me lol I was having my girls in a very dark blue (midnight) and FMIL tells me - before I even tell her my colors that she wants to wear dark blue!!!! She literally said 'I know its your moms choice first but I really would love to wear a dark blue' So i said 'Ummm actually my girls are probably wearing blue' and she didnt seem to really care LOLOLOL
Needless to say, I changed the color of my BP so I dont care now! When we were dress shopping, I picked another theme altogether LOL
But yea, its annoying!!!! YOU should be the one picking the colors, and if she wants the same color, do a different shade for sure!

Re: My mother..
My mom is wearing a purple dress and my girls are wearing eggplant purple. It's not as dark as the eggplant but still similar. My mom fell in love w/ the dress and never asks for much and she had such a hard time finding a dress, that I didn't mind one bit. She's done so much for me I felt too bad to tell her she can't...but I def thought about how it would look, but I don't really care that much at the end of the day. It's all personal preference.
Now if FMIL tried to wear the same color I would flip out(and she already tried to wear white!) Biatch

a lot of moms think this for some reason
tell her you want her to 'stand out and shine' with a DIFFERENT color

Re: My mother..
My girls are wearing Tiffany Blue and my mom is wearing Navy Blue... it's in the same family and I am happy with that... I DEF would not be happy if she was wearing the same color!

Re: My mother..
My mom wore the exact same color as the bridesmaids in my brothers wedding. It looked nice. She almost got the same color this time too! Haha! I talked her into navy as it's more flattering than bright orange! Now all three moms will be in different shades of blue.

Re: My mother..
My Mom is wearing a muted/silvery/purple gown that is completely beaded. I LOVE IT!! My BM's are alternating purple and blue. Also FH's Dad and my Dad are wearing a light greyish purple tie wither their tux. I like that our parents 'go' with the bridal party and color theme. I don't think there will be any mistake as to who your bridal party is. If it were the exact shade or similar dress I might not love that... but I am happy to as much purple as possible LOL Technically I feel they are part of my wedding party... I wanted her in a shade of purple
