mother of the groom is wearing royal blue...
My wedding colors are brown gold and champagne ...I had previously asked my mom and my future mother in law how she felt about wearing a color that goes with the theme of the wedding and she was absolutely ok with it ...a couple of weeks later she tells me that she found the dress that she wants to wear and it so happens to be bright ass royal blue..!!! i was a little upset because she had already told me she would go with the theme ...and now she is going to stand out so much in all of our family pictures and too be honest its going to look so tacky especially because I was going to have both fathers wear a tux along the same colors of the mothers ...should i say something ?

She's a grown up. Grown ups dress themselves. Don't say anything - you'll look like a terrible bridezilla.

News flash: Of the 3,000 pictures taken on your wedding day, chances are about 100% that NONE will be a formal of the WP and the MOB/MOG.
Do you really want to start your married life with the woman who will be your MIL and the grandmother of your children by getting into a snit about a DRESS?
FWIW: Here's how to be the perfect DIL. It's the answer my wonderful DIL (who I adore) gave me regarding dress:
me: What do you want me to wear to the wedding?
DIL: Whatever you feel beautiful and comfortable in.
That's the answer for your FMIL: "FMIL, do you love the dress? Do you feel beautiful in it? Then it's just perfect! Congratulations on finding your dress."

I don't have a single picture of the parents with the entire wedding party. The only time there's any overlap is in the family shots, and then it looks just like any normal family event where people dress themselves like grownups instead of trying to look like the family reunion at Disneyland.
This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

1) This isn't your call at all. Your FMIL is a grown woman. Her attire is entirely her choice. In fact, for you to have asked her to wear colors in the wedding theme was borderline inappropriate at least.
2) Do you ever get upset when people aren't in coordinating outfits in other photos? This is one of the silliest things to fret over.
Pretty much unless she planned on showing up naked, there's no reason for you to "say something" to her about her attire choices.
If you fire a WP member, you're against America.

I hated when my mom made us wear coordinating clothes, though.

Our colors were black, burgundy, and ivory. My mom and my MIL wore blue. I guess this means that my photos are ruined-I just didn't realize it.
Don't worry about this at all. All that matters is their comfort, because if they're comfortable, they will look good no matter what color they're wearing.
It's a girl!
Besides, you have no say in what she wears.
FWIW, my mother wore "saphire" which is pretty close to royal blue. My colors were black, white and purple. She looked beautiful.

Royal blue dress looking any better now?
Let her wear what she wants. I know it's frustrating and I had to deal with it too. Chances are she'll be in about 4 pictures and if she stands out that bad, she'll realize it when you get the pictures back.
