I know my best friend loves me and is only doing what's right, but she's telling me what dresses I can and can't have for the bridesmaids. She's even yelled at me about the colors. She's my MOH...I want her opinion, but I want her to respect mine too. How can I talk to her without her thinking that I'm just completely blowing off her opinions?

You seem to be a caring friend so I'll bet you really already know how to talk to her. But, just be honest. Let her know how much her opinion is respected. that you want her to look awesome and allow her to make a few choices you may not care as much about, like jewelry, shoes, or maybe the style of dress. I always suggest that the bride select three of four styles and, depending on her wedding colors, a couple of color choices and then the bridesmaids can have a small choice from pre-approved dresses. But, if you have an array of body types involved doing this may not be as easy. Be sure you consider each woman's figure when making your selections so that every bridesmaid feels beautiful. If they don't, believe me, it will show.
I think if you go to your friend and tell he how much her friendship means to you, you'll have a nice discussion and come to a mutually satisfying decision. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
