My Mother-in-law to be has decided to go with a navy blue ball gown, which literally looks like a blue wedding gown. My dress is not even a ball gown, it's a mermaid style dress and she has seen it. My Mother is wearing a beautiful gown but I feel that my Mother-in-law may upstage her with her ball gown. I don't feel that it's appropriate. She did not consider my opinions when searching for a dress for the wedding nor has she considered the colors of the wedding, which I feel may clash as they are purples, lilacs and greens. I would really appreciate an outside opinion. Please help. Thanks.

You can get all the opinions in the world, but what will you do about it? While I agree that the MOB probably selected an inappropriate dress for her role, age and type of wedding, there isn't much you can do about it. It seems like you already made suggestions she didn't take. The only other option is to ask your groom (or another close female family member/friend) to speak to his mom about her choice. If she insists on wearing her dress, she will be the one to be embarrassed. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
I couldn't agree more! Try to get through to your future Mother-in-law through a close family member. If it doesn't work, just don't concentrate on that and move ahead with your wedding plans! You will enjoy your wedding, no matter what, I promise you! Irina Feygin, IMpeccable iMage, Inc. Image and Beauty and For Princess Bride
