How to make my sister happy, without becoming a doormat

I  need advice.  

My sister is my bridesmaid, but I feel like she's pushing me to do things her way, without any of my input.

 I found out one day that she'd gone out and bought a dress for the wedding.  It was very nice, but it's the exact same style/cut/neckline as my wedding dress.  I would have preferred something a little different, but it's not a big deal.  She looks very  nice in it.  So, I let it go.

She's single, so I said that I didn't have her down for a +1, but if there was someone special, to let me know.  Huge blowup.  She says it doesn't have to be someone special, and she'll "find" someone to bring.  I asked if she would be okay with not bringing just a friend so that we could invite more family (we crunched for space).   I'm apparently a bridezilla for asking, and she's not speaking to me.

How do I get some input in my wedding, without upsetting my sister?  How do I let  her bring a friend, without just laying down and letting her bully me? *sigh*
