I'm a mess and I feel like it's my fault for not being such a bridezilla. It's probably not such a big deal but I'm just somewhat frustrated about it.
I'm having my bridesmaids dress in a neutral-metallic palette: cream, taupe, gold, blush. I'm keeping this element a surprise bc my FH's family is very nosy, opinionated, and "know it alls". They're not used to things that are different and I'm sure the "mix and match" combo for them is weird. I didn't want to hear it, they don't need to know, so I just bluffed and said my color was blush (which technically kind of is). Bridesmaids have the metallic-neutral color scheme; the mothers have blush & mauve. My mom wanted to wear blush so she's wearing that and my MIL is wearing mauve (She doesn't wear light colors and I thought mauve would be a good color to wear that compliments my mom). I saw a bride that had their bridesmaids wear navy and one mom wore light a baby blue dress and another wear a silver blue dress. For kicks, I told my FH's only sister to wear mauve too (so she won't b**** about it bc she's a chronic complainer/criticizer).
We're having 2 pairs of "Godparents" and FH's mom told 1 pair to wear the color she was wearing bc it's part of my color scheme. My dilemma is that if we open up for other people in our party to those specific colors, then the moms won't stand out as much. Can you imagine? What if I had told them my real color scheme? Then everyone would match with the bridesmaids and I don't want that. I like the distinction of having my girls be in the metallic-neutral color and our moms/his sister wear blush & mauve.
I guess simple solution is to tell them, "no", You don't have to match (bc everyone apparently thinks you HAVE to match with the color scheme).
Sorry, just venting... I hope the colors all coordinate somehow. We're having our grandmas wear off-white and flower girls wear off-white/beige
