I'm getting married next month. My grandmother bought an off white jacket and dress outfit. I was surprised, but it had a fair amount of color in the accents. My mother bought a white pantsuit with a pale pink shirt she has helpfully informed me is slightly see through. (My own dress is ivory.)
I had spent months making kind, open ended, non-pressuring suggestions for stores, colors, styles, etc all while trying to expand my own (overly formal?) idea of what was suitable so Mom would feel comfortable in what she wore. I didn't exactly make an impression.
Now my mother wants to walk me down the aisle in a bright white pantsuit.
Is this normal? How have other brides managed to 'get over it?'
