OK, I'm sorry about this. I decided to have the mog and mob wear earth tone colors for the wedding. I told my mom that I wanted this and she said ok.  Today my sister sent me a text of my mom in her dress...it's freaking PINK! PINK! this is a fall wedding not a spring wedding..I'm super irritated and then she gets mad at me for being upset with her for not listening to my requests. I explained to her again that she would look ridiculous in a pink dress when no one else was wearing pink and that I would appreciate it if she would get a earth tone..Sorry i'm super annoyed! :(

    I can understand why you would be upset.  I wish I had some advice on compromising but I am at a blank right now.  Sit her down and explain why this is really important to you.  If she still insists on wearing the pink dress take a deep breath and realize in the grand scheme of your wedding day the MOB wearing a pink dress is not going to make or break your wedding.  Your pictures will still turn out wonderful, your groom will still marry you, you will still look gorgeous and you will still have fun.  Sometimes you just have to let the little things go.  I know a pink dress may seem like a huge ordeal when you specifically asked for an earth tone.  Just take a deep breath.

    I totally understand why you would be mad, especially when you told her what colors you wanted people to wear.  I would be mad too.  Like PP said though, in the big picture, it will not matter what the MOB or MOG have on.  I had to keep telling myself that when MOG was running around trying to find a dress and I finally grew convinced she was going to end up in a potato sack.  Perhaps if she realizes it upsets you that much, she will take it back and get another dress.  Are you in a position that you can go shopping with her at any point between now and the wedding?  Maybe if you went with her, she would be more likely to stick to the colors you suggested.  Just a thought.

    Why in the world does it matter what color she's wearing? Is the dress tasteful? Is she comfortable in it? Does she like it? These are the only questions that matter regarding the mob and mog dresses. The bride should not get to dictate what they wear.

    I agree Pink is not a great color, but she does get to pick what she wears, you can only request it.

    But I would be super annoyed!!

    Honestly, I think pink will look fine :)  If she looks good in the dress, that's what matters.  I told the moms to wear anything they wanted.  My FI's sisters wear very "provocative" clothing, and I'm more concerned about them looking like hoochies in the pics than the color they're wearing!!!
