My daughter is getting married in November at 4 pm. Her dress is full length silk organza. She chose bridesmaid dresses just below the knee. She also picked out my dress, which we both love, but it is full length and full. She adores my dress and it is bought. Have I made a major mistake since it so formal?

On one hand, it is probably best not to mention it to your daughter since she picked it out and love it. It appears to me that she wanted to dress you up. But, it is does seem too formal to me. Your dress should have been about the same formality as the bridesmaids (slightly less formal). Your daughter is the boss on this one though and as long as your dress doesn't seem to be a bridesmaid's or a prom dress, it shouldn't matter too much. It is most important that she is happy with your attire.
Now on the other hand, if you look at the dress and it just seems out of balance with the attire of the rest of the bridal party, you might want to mention it to her. We wouldn't want her embarrassed.
I totally agree with Rebecca. Your daughter is obviously happy with her choice, and it's her day. Enjoy the wedding! Irina Feygin, IMpeccable iMage, Inc. Image and Beauty and For Princess Bride
