My mother wants to wear black!

My mother wants to wear black!

Please help! What can I tell my mother to prevent her from wearing black? I think it is innappropriate and can't stand the thought of it. Her and my father believe I should have no say in the choice of her dress, and that it should be up to them.

You can get some really fashionable black gowns. But I do understand your displeasure. I've found with my mom that if you just make fun of it she'll be unsure and change her mind.

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

Does she know how you feel about it???

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

My mom is wearing black because she looks best in that color and I actually like it - I think it is very formal and classy but if you really don't like it maybe she could compromise and wear navy.

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

Let her wear black. I don't see a problem with it! My Bm's are wearing black and pink!!!!

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

I think it used to be considered inappropriate. But, it's considered very elegant now. Unfortunately, I don't think you can tell your mom what to wear. I know I wouldn't. My future mother in law is wearing black, and silver and I don't care.

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

I think black can be very elegant, but if you are still upset about it, why don't you suggest a color like dark navy??

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

Yes she knows how I feel. I told her that I think black is a mourning color not a wedding color. She thinks it doesn't matter how I feel. Only how my father feels.

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

I wouldn't stress too much about it. My mom is wearing black because she looks the best in it and to be honest, i don't really care what color she picks, except for white of course. My BM's are wearing black and my FMIL might get a black dress. So it will end up being a black and white wedding most likely.

Just out of curiousity... why don't you want her wearing black? What is your FMIL wearing?

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

My girls are wearing navy, and my MIL wants to wear black Over my dead body. My mother is probably going to wear cranberry - there's NO reason FMIL can't buy champagne.

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

My mom was actually the one that felt uncomfortable wearing black - but I made her buy the gown. She looked the best in the black gown and I didnt mind at all - i agree that black looks very elegant and formal!

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

i don't think the mob or mog should wear black to what is supposted to be the best day of their childs life. there are soo many other ptions out there, i don't see how black can be the only option

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

At least she's not wearing a white gown. I know someone whose MIL wore a white sparklie GOWN to the wedding!!!!!

Re: My mother wants to wear black!

I was upset at first when I saw my mother's dress and felt that she shoudl not wear black to her daughters wedding. HOWEVER, I decided it was not worth getting upset over. And honestly, on my wedding day, I totally forgot all about it.
