My mom is seriously stressing over picking a MOB dress. She has fallen in love with this dress that will look amazing on her, and I would love for her to get that, but she is hesitating over the color. Our wedding colors are lavender, sage/light green, silver/grey, with some pops of darker purple and periwinkle/light blues. Basically, there are a ton of colors. Bridesmaid dresses are lavender, the dress my mom likes is like a cobalt blue.
Personally, I don't think her dress even needs to coordinate. It's not like we're going to have 50 pictures taken with my mom and the bridesmaids together and frame them all. I think I've just gotten her so worked up over etiquette (we had to go over certain etiquette rules, like you don't invite someone to a shower without inviting them to the wedding) that she has done all of this research and thinks she absolutely has to coordinate with FMIL and my wedding party, and worst of all, she thinks I get the final say in her dress. I think she just needs to see others say that it really doesn't matter, and the most important thing is her feeling comfortable and good about the way she looks. Anyone want to help me help her justify the purchase of this dress she loves?
