I am getting married in a week. My colors are pink/ivory. It's a small wedding and is outside. My SIL bought a pink dress to wear after I made it clear that I didn't want anyone to wear these colors. How should I handle this?? It's not even 20 people invited. And she isn't a part of the wedding party at all. Any suggestions??

Dear Fuming,
My only suggestion would be to ask your fiance to handle it. She is his sister. If you were to say anything, it could lead to hurt feelings.

She's not even a sister... She's my brothers wife! LOL

Oh. A present, not future sister in law. Silly me. This makes this a bit more difficult. But, you could ask your brother to talk to his wife. This takes you out of it and puts your brother in the tough guy position.
If it seems as if your brother doesn't wants to be the 'tough guy', you have two choices. You could politely remind her that these are the colors of your bridesmaids' dresses, so it may appear as if she is one also. Secondly, you could just grin and bear it.
So, it is your choice. But, it may be better to hold your peace than to make this an issue. The dress may not look anything like the others. The real focus should be that you are marrying. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
