I am struggling with how to ask people to wear what I have in mind for them... My colors are navy and dusty blue. My mother will be wearing something silvery/cool toned.

My FH and I both have stepmothers and they will be involved in the day as much as possible... How do I politely ask them to wear something cool-toned so that it coordinates well in family pictures? I would just hate for someone to show up in hot pink and stick out like a sore thumb. (I don't think that will happen, but I am struggling with how to handle these conversations!)

    In all honesty, I see some passive aggressive people on this post - and I just want to say, DO NOT let them worry you! If you have a good relationship with these women, and it sounds like you do, then don't stress - I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige. My beautiful FMIL asked me already what color to wear, and not only that, helped me word my color scheme request for my wedding website! This kind of thing is not uncommon, nor is it taboo to ask of people... And give them some slight options! I just said any shade of Peach, Pink all the way up to Red would be welcome - In addition to all black attire.

    Don't let people tell you it's rude or controlling, it's not at all. Smiley smile

    Just tell them what you’d like and blame it how it will look in the pictures. Normally people ask what colors they should wear.
