Am I being a bridezilla?

My fiance's brother's girlfriend (serious relationship, they have a kid together) just told me she was going to get a dress in pearl pink for my October wedding.  

She will be sitting in the front row with my FMIL and I kind of think the pearl pink is waaaaayyyyy too close to white... 
Can I tell her that?  how?  Am I being crazy?!

    Yes. Come on, she's wearing pink. Unless she has on a veil no one will mistake her for the bride.

  • You are a little crazy.  You can't ban anybody from wearing any color, including white, but you shouldn't be upset at pink.  If it really looks like a wedding dress (most likely not at all), then she's the one who will look like a fool, not you.

  • I don't think that pearl pink is close enough to white to stress about. No one is going to confuse her for you, and even if she wore white, no one would be judging you, it would be all on her. I would let it go.

  • You're only being a bridezilla if you actually tell her she can't wear pink.  Ditto the PP's - this is not a bid deal.  Let her wear what she has picked out.
  • Really?   This is all you have to worry about?







    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 


  • Meh, let it go like everyone else said.  If it is too close, everyone will look at her funny.  I just found out my FSIL is wearing a cream colored dress.  Did I cringe a little inside?  You betcha.  What did I say to her?  "Sounds great!"
     
  • Let it go. Focus on what the day is really about, marrying your man. It shouldnt matter what other people are wearing, unless she plans on showing up in a wedding gown.

  • It's pink. Not white. Get over it, Looney McCrazypants.

  • It's pink, not white.  You can't control what your guests wear; even if she wanted to wear a white dress it'd look bad on her, not you.  

    Let it go.
  • Like a PP said, its only bridezilla if you TELL HER NO. Feel how you want, set a timer for 20 mins to rant and rave. Then, move on. You'll be the only one anyone is looking at anyway! :)

  • My bridesmaids are going to wear Pearl Pink dresses for our wedding. I really wouldn't worry about, it's VERY different from white/ivory.

  • Pink =/= White. Not even close.
