well its a nice dress but did she get it in that color? cause IMHO, it looks ivory, which is my color so I would be a little upset if she at least didnt ask me first

i've been to a few wedding where the mothers have worn off-white, or a super pale pink...

i don't think it's a big deal, but i'd understand why you would be upset

OH i 100% don't think that is the right thing to do.

BUT keep in mind: you will only have a couple of pictures where she is even near you! even though her color will be close to yours, no one will be looking at anyone but you.

I can't lie I would be mad. I don't think anyone should be wearing a color that close to your dress.

Re: Would you be mad if you FMIL bought this dress for your wedding?

um, YES. But honestly, she is the one who is gonna look silly. You know ppl talk about super light colored MOB/G dresses. Theres no way shes gonna be able to come close to upstaging you

Re: Would you be mad if you FMIL bought this dress for your wedding?

I think the dress looks pale because of the background. But if you stand it next to a white or even ivory dress, it has some champagn/pink undertones. The MIL wont take attention away from you with this dress, its very plain. I wouldnt get mad at this ... Just my opinion....

Re: Would you be mad if you FMIL bought this dress for your wedding?

I would definitely be a little annoyed... nobody should be wearing that color to a wedding.
Can you say something to her?

Re: Would you be mad if you FMIL bought this dress for your wedding?

I'd be annoyed, yes... but unfortunately I think you have to let this one go. The day of you won't even notice.

Re: Would you be mad if you FMIL bought this dress for your wedding?

Only for the color...not for the cut...it is just a little too light and a little too close to white

MrsCastanedain09 Posted: Apr 10, 2009 09:55 AM

Re: Would you be mad if you FMIL bought this dress for your wedding?

I wouldn't be upset at all.....it looks NOTHING like a wedding dress and there is no one who can upstage you.

Let it go.

Re: Would you be mad if you FMIL bought this dress for your wedding?

i'd probably be fuming at first but then let it go. there's really nothing i'd be able to do about it.

Re: Would you be mad if you FMIL bought this dress for your wedding?

i would be mad...my fmil mentioned that she wanted a champagne dress (mine is ivory) and i wasnt too happy. its not really about being upstaged, i just think its a little rude. JMO
