Got a dress in such short amount of time, mom hates it....

Sfam, on November 24, 2019 at 1:32 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9
Got a dress in 20-30 days before the wedding. It’s not a bridal lace type dress that I see everyone posting on here. It’s bridal but tight and a slit on the side. It’s a thick stretch material and white. I find it beautiful even though it wasn’t a gown like I see everywhere. Mother in law and sis in law love it they think I’m beautiful and I think so too! But my mom absolutely hates it and doesn’t want me to wear it... I fight with her all the time. And she said that we’ll go look for a gown 7 days before the wedding... so she can buy it since I don’t have money anymore for it since I spent it on paying for shoes, and decorations since I love my dress and decided to wear it because looks beautiful to me.


7 days before the wedding she wants to go look for another bridal Lace one, which I’ll wear it if I love it and want it, other than that, I’m not getting anything she wants. I keep telling her the options in dresses are less especially a week before the wedding... but she doesn’t understand that. I would’ve love a gown if I had time/didn’t procrastinate waiting for her to go... but either way I love my dress, if I get a new one. I won’t throw the one I bought away.. I’ll wear it as a second dress for the reception

    I absolutely did not a regular ole wedding dress. I swear I'm just not into the traditional thing. My dress is over the top something totally bold and different. Be bold be unique be you on your day!!

    That’s what I plan on doing if we do find another one. She just also doesn’t want me to wear the dress at all, she told me to sell it but I’m not going to sell the dress I found and love! My “reception” is just a party/celebration at future in laws house. We aren’t doing anything big, we’re having a small private ceremony then celebrating after at their house Smiley smile

    She’s made everything super stressful for me, she likes nothing I love. Either it’s to modern and showering to much.. (off the sleeve dress) or its to covered up (sleeves) Before I chose my dress, she wanted my to wear something off the shoulders to wear a beautiful necklace, when I’d find one. She would say she didn’t like it and to cover up more.. so I found another one that was more covered but still modern and cute.... and she’d say it looks like a grandma dress. Her style of dress she wants for me is princess style and I absolutely don’t like that style, just not for me! I’m short (5’1) and skinny. So I’d look like a quinceañera, not trying to go for that look.. I’m 23!

    You can order one online now instead of waiting for 7 days before your wedding. If you don’t like it then send it back. David’s Bridal and BHLDN are great sites with easy return policies. That way you have a bit more time. Consider alterations too.

    I agree. It's your wedding dress, not your mom's!

    If you love the dress, wear the dress. It is not your mom's day, it is yours. You need to feel beautiful and comfortable. I honestly, would just wear what you have and rock it. She can hate it all she wants, she's not the one wearing it.
