Mom's dress question..

Krysta6

So my mom is planning on wearing a long dress. I was going to let my bridesmaids vote long or short. but will it look like the mom's are overdressed if the bm wear short?  Am I just being weird and overthinking this?

No it won't look weird.  No one will even care or think about it except you.   My Moms wore long dresses and my girls had tea length, all was okay.

lol thanks for answering my silly question. Sometimes I get so focused on little things. But yes all will be ok....

Plus it would be expected that the moms would be a little more dressy.

Not a silly question! Both of the moms wore long dresses and my girls wore knee-length dresses.

I have my girls in short dresses and my mom was like I dont want to be the only one wearing a gown. I was like I am wearing one!! She doesn't want to be too "formal" and I said no one will notice and she is the mom she can wear whatever. She just ordered 4 dresses from Nordstrom lol. She is having a panic attack over finding something

Laura- My mom bought 3 dresses before I ever bought mine! I think as of yesterday she is not even planning on wearing any of those 3 lol. She is def obsessed with what to wear, how her hair will be, her makeup. its a bit overwhelming for me

Yes! Its all she talks about too! lol

My daughter's bridesmaids wore knee length dresses, I wore a long gown because I wanted to! My mom also wore a long dress. Krista, I am like your mom, I was obsessed with finding the perfect dress. I searched the knot's MOB dresses, looked at a few bridal salons in PA and found the perfect dress shop where I wanted to buy my dress. I tried some on alone and fell in love with the one I ended up buying. Before I bought it I wanted my daughter to see it. Ashley flew home and my sister also came with us. We had so much fun! I knew it was "the one". I couldn't stop thinking about it. LOL.
I didn't feel out of place at all in a long gown. I was worried about being out of place too- but I didn't feel like that at all. Tell your mom to get what she loves!

I'm glad I'm not the only one dealing with an obsessed mom!

Thanks Djoan! (sorry I just saw your reply!) I can't tell my mom what to wear because she doesn't ask lol. But I'm glad the bridesmaids can get the shorter (less expensive) dresses if they want.

I agree with your mom wearing a long dress. It wont look weird at all.
