Hi guys,
My mom called last night very excited because she bought a dress for my wedding this September. It is silky and cream-colored, falls just above the ankles, and comes with a cream-colored blazer. It is age-appropriate but could be construed as bridal for an older women. She is generally unaware of wedding etiquette, so I joked "Cream-colored? You'd better not upstage me!" as a hint that the color might be considered in poor taste. She replied, oblivious, that there was no risk of that.
My dress is quite different (sleeveless white lace with a train). On my part, I don't care what she wears, and I don't care how it will look in the pictures.
The real issue is that I know certain family members are very strict with etiquette and will have something nasty to say. I really don't want to deal with drama on my wedding day. I don't want people making comments to me or criticizing my mom. Mom just emailed asking if I've received the pictures she sent of the dress, so if I say something, now's the time. Any advice?
