Even my mom is going to look hotter than me...

I feel the same way! I'm very simple and my dress is pretty simple, but my FMIL and FSIL are going to be decked out in sparkly gorgeous gowns and serious heels, not to mention more makeup than me I'm sure (it's a cultural thing).

But it's YOUR wedding - the spotlight will be on you for sure. And no one will be able to match the glow you'll have after getting to marry the love of your life!

You are you and no one else can be that...you are beautiful in your own way. Embrace yourself and remember it's your day and YOU will be the center of focus!

Everyone will be focused on you because it is your wedding day. I feel insecure at times, I think we all do. It can especially be hard if everyone you know had some cosmetic help to make them look better and you did not have the same thing. I am sure you will look beautiful. Your FH loves you just the way you are.

This is YOUR special day! Let that shine thru! The honest, true, not fake, man made, doctor altered love of two people that no one can copy. It's all about YOU no one else, and don't worry about them. People are there for YOU and your FH, no one else. Remember that!

I agree with PP's... no one will be paying attention to them. Maybe in a "oh you look nice" way, but you are going to be the star. I've never remember what the BM, SIL, or MOB wore, but I always remember the bride's dress!

Your fh will not be looking at any other women that night, all eyes will be on you. He loves you for who you are and maybe even more so because you don't have the same looks as everyone else. Try to be comfortable in your dress and believe that you are as beautiful as you feel. You will wake up that day and feel wonderful and amazing and nothing should take that away from you. This is a day for you to feel your absolute best. I think you will be beautiful and your fh will be all smiles.

Dyed hair, face lifts, implants vs. true, youthful skin and beauty? You have nothing to worry about. The confidence of aging gracefully is more attractive than all of the cosmetic enhancements a woman can pay for. You will be the stand out woman of the day. Every bride is, regardless of her weight, height, etc. The bride always wins. Let your mom continue to fight a losing battle.

BTW, if her gown is basically the same as your gown -- only in red -- you do have a right to tell her that her gown makes you uncomfortable. I have to say, I don't really care if a guests wears white or black to a wedding, but red? That one has always bothered me because it screams, "Notice me!".

I agree with everyone! You are going to look wonderful and all eyes will be on you and no one else. The bride always takes the show, try not to beat yourself up and remember you are beautiful in your own way.

I am so sorry you are feeling insecure. I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Don't mean to offend you but nothing you described about what beauty is to you sounds attractive to me. At all. Implants? Yuck! Skinny blond perfect noses. That all just sounds like step ford wives. Luckily your FH likes a real woman. That's you. You are going to look amazing on your day!!! And I'm pretty sure wearing red to weddings is improper etiquette.

I have thought that too! The dresses I really want for my bridal party are sequin or embellished with sequin. Well....now I am having dress regret because I worry I will look so informal compared to them :/

I read this in a magazine when I was a teenager, and it stuck: another woman's beauty does not take away from yours.

You, your mother, your friends and your in-laws are each beautiful in your own unique way. It's not a comparison. It's apples to oranges. Your mother is beautiful. Your friends are beautiful. You are beautiful. Period.

I grew up in an area like this, so I understand how you feel in regards to comparing youself. However, I highly doubt anyone could upstage the bride.

I feel the same way. I feel that since I am going to be the center of attention on my wedding day, that everyone is going to see my flaws and that I have to look absolutely perfect and better than everyone or else I will be compared to others

What the heck...who in your life taught you that straight hair, skinny long legs, nice boobs is the "ideal look"...girl that is the world's view get your mind away from that view we were not all made that way and I'm sorry but that is not the perfect look. Curves are beautiful...full legs with a butt is beautiful DIFFERENT is beautiful..whatever you are you are beautiful we all say oh it's not about what's on the outside but the truth is the world makes it about what's on the outside and they brainwash us all to think a particular way is the "right way" Forget all of that your FH is marrying you, he loves you for you he doesn't love you for what he wishes you looked like. Girl love you, be happy with you, get comfortable with you. You are beautiful. You'll will look gorgeous!

Absolutely no chance of this whatsoever. I've been to tons of weddings in my life, and no one is EVER more beautiful than the bride! It just isn't a thing that happens. Happiness is the most beautiful thing in the world, and you will be glowing with it from within. Don't worry about a thing.

This is your day girl pick your head up .... your FH is going to fall in love with u when he sees u walking down that aisle

All these girls pay to look good ... you've got natural beauty !! Own it Xoxo

I've always had insecurities about my looks, so I understand. But I'm 100% sure you will be the most beautiful woman at your wedding, without a doubt. Happiness glows. Why don't you post a pic here? I'm sure you look lovely in your gown!

Aww you guys are so sweet. Thanks. That really cheered me up

I always thought the reason why they call it "plastic surgery" is because it makes you look like you're made out of plastic. Some faces are pulled so tight, they're smiling out their ears.

On a positive note .. can we see your beautiful dress ?!?
