fmil

Yeah definitely not what I'd want my mil to wear...but these other ladies are right, if she insists on that than SHE is the one who will look like an a$$ ... 😶 so if she won't act right, talk to your fiancee, or just move on and let her look stupid but dont let her get the best of YOUR big day! best of luck

If you’ve chosen to wear a white wedding dress, people should respect that on your day that’s YOUR color

That'd bother me a lot if that's what my fmil wanted to wear too! I hope she doesn't throw a fit with you wanting her to wear something different!

I'm having similar problems with my fmil

Have you seen the dress in person? Cause the color may vary per each persons screen, and on mine it looks blue. It actually looks like the color I wanted my mom to wear but we couldn’t find something that she liked in that color so she went with burgundy. If it is white or too close to your comfort I would just tell her you’d prefer she not wear white.

I'm not a fan. IMO it's too close to white and too revealing, which is attention-seeking. If she wears that she will only make herself look foolish.

Honestly you have to pick your battles because you will have many. But this shouldn’t be it. Your FMIL is not in your league. You are the sexy woman getting married. She can’t show u up even if she tried. If wearing that dress brings her sexy back to spice things up for her man. Let her have her moment. Spare your energy for the larger battles to come.

Girl that is a white dress and way too flashy to be a FMIL dress! If it were me, Id hand pick her a few dresses to chose from!

Don't feel bad I said no to a dress my FMIL wanted to wear because it was laced off the shoulder and tight just like mine.... but was navy. Just tell her you don't believe in pictures ( color scheme wise) it will come out too well and that at the end of the day you want her to look back at the pictures and love how they turned out.

NO WAY MOMMA NO WAY

NOPE! Looks white, clashes the colors. Tell her Navy Blue or Grey, nothing ice blue!

I dont see white I see blue gray.
It doesnt really look like mother of the groom
It looks like a younger dress 😬

It looks silvery blue to me and your MIL doesn't have to wear the same color as the wedding party. Adding a shawl or jacket will complete the look and won't steak any thunder from you either.

Personally this looks nothing like a wedding gown. I also don’t think their is an age limit in sexy. None of the “mothers” at my wedding wore traditional MOTB dresses that looked because that’s not their style. I promise no one is going to think she is upstaging you. Between the veil, flowers, and actual white wedding gown you will def be the center of attention. As for not matching On the day of my wedding the last thing I thought about was the color of my grooms moms dress (or his step mom). Neither matched my colors but besides being in family portraits they won’t be standing up next to the bridemaids and clashing. To be honest even if a guest showed up in white I wouldn’t have noticed. (Wedding colors- ivory, muted tones, and greenery, step mom- navy blue, mom- charcoal, mil- dark purple )

It's way too close for comfort. Bring up your issues with the color, maybe suggest another one- something that coordinates with what you have your wedding party wearing, but isn't exact. I'd also bring up the issue with your FH because you can both confront her about it as a united front. Or, FH can bring it up with her and express your concerns as an "our concerns" thing.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn’t have a problem with her wearing that dress.

View Quoted Comment No I think it looks almost silverfish, I also don’t see how that looks like a wedding dress? Maybe a a line type but honestly any guest could buy something similar to that for a formal occasion and not been seen as a bride or bridal member. There’s always people who have to dress super fancy for weddings, again, the bride gets the attention and my flower girl is wearing white. Brides aren’t always the only ones to wear white. Honestly I would be more aggravated at the style of the dress for the type of occasion

I had this issue with mine as well! Our colors are mint, true peach, and rustic gold. She hated the idea of having to wear pink if she wanted to match the wedding and refused mint even though that's what the bridal party will be in((including her husband, who will be marrying us)) She could not find the dress she wanted, so I offered and kept sending her the ones in the other colors before she finally caved and picked one I sent.

Looks grey to me...

It looks too much like a wedding dress.

I’d honestly tell her no lol it looks almost white. It’s a hard no for me
