MOB dress - She's driving me CRAZY!

My mom picked out her dress about a month ago and left a deposit. She really liked one dress that was all sparkly (frankly, I thought it was too much) but it was too expensive. Long story short, she decided on a one-shouldered blush chiffon Enzoani Love gown with a black jeweled belt. 

I thought it looked good on her but ever since she purchased the dress she has been doubting her decision to get it in the blush because she thinks it will make her look too pale. Also, my dad and her dentist both told her a blush dress would make her look pale...that didn't help. She originally loved the blue but my grandmother and MIL had already chosen blue dresses. 

I think she will look beautiful and if anything she can apply some gradual tanning lotion like Jergens Natural Glow. She is the 2nd most anxious person I have ever met and today I snapped at her for being so ridiculously anxious. I'm a problem solver and don't like to dwell on being anxious. She makes me so nervous. Agh... now I feel bad for snapping but she is INTENSE. I don't know what else to do other than wait for it to get in and hope she doesn't regret her decision.

  • I'm sorry that she's driving your crazy about this! I'm sure she just wants to look her best on your big day. I know it can be frustrating, especially when it's something you can't worry about. Just try not to think about it and if she wants to talk about it, change the subject until the dress comes in and you can do something about it!
  • I know I look horrible in pale colors like blush......

    It sounds like she has already ordered it in blush and can't change her mind, right?

    Why can't she have blue like the other two ladies?

  • She has already ordered the dress but is going to ask the store tomm if she can change the color. She doesn't want to wear the same color as my grandma and MIL because she says "I dont want to look like we are in uniform". She wants to stand out.

  • I never understand why people have the thought that they can't wear the same colors, where i am from people don't care about that stuff & wear what looks good.......period! Tell your mom to pick a color that suits her.
