Ok so my mom and FMIL got their dresses today (separatly). A little back story. FI changed the groomsmen vest color from red (which I picked) to black. My bridesmaids dresses are black so now theres ALOT of black and no red... I decided I could work the red in using the mothers outfits. (they've been discussing it alot) Well last night FMIL sent me a picture of the black dress she wanted to get. I told her I guess that would be ok but I needed her to wear red accesories to tie everything in together so it wouldnt be all black. FSIL sent me a picture this morning of her mom in the dress. I called and said that was fine but make sure she gets red accesories. She then decides to tell me that they are going to look for silver accesories! So I told her again to make sure they are red. Then this afternoon my mom found a red dress that would be perfect! I thought that she could wear black accesories since FMIL would be wearing red. So I called FI's mom to make sure and she decided that she would wear silver accesories instead! So now I have no red because my mom wont wear red unless theres red somewhere else in the wedding. Its just frustrating that her and her daughters have complained about and tried to change EVERY SINGLE DETAIL! Im just really getting tired of dealing with them when it comes to this.
Sorry I just needed to get all that out!

    It is difficult when people try to change what you envisioned. Try not to worry though- I'm sure it will look good regardless. Can you just have everyone carry red bouquets and bouteneires (sp?) Also, the BM's could wear red shoes and/or accessories. My mom and FI's mom are not matching the wedding colors at all. People won't see them as much as the BM's during the ceremony anyway, unless you have them standing up there with you. No matter what happens, I know it will look great!

    Maybe FMIL feels weird buying red accessories? Some older generations don't like colored accessories. I agree with AshNoel, maybe a red corsage/mini bouquet?

    Take a deep breath...and realize that you're kind of being a bridezilla.  The only people whose outfits/accessories you can dictate are your BP.  

    You want red in the wedding?  Put in red flowers.  Wear a red garter.  Wear red shoes.  Paint your nails red.  Wear red lipstick.  Put red accents in the invitations/place settings/linens/napkins.

    Those are the things you can (and should) control.  Your FMIL's dress is really none of your business.

    I agree but she specifially called and asked if that would be ok. So its frustrating that she asks me three times and then does the exact opposit. And the wedding is next week so Im kinda limited on options. Im not as upset about it but they have changed alot of stuff (especially colors!) throughout the entire planning process. But everything will be fine..I just dont want it to look like a funeral with almost all black..

    Black and silver can look very elegant!  A few touches of red would be nice in flowers or  few accessories around the table, or even rose petals.  Don't fret, you will still have your wedding, and it will be beautiful!! :-)
    July 16, Our Wedding Day, is also International Juggling Day!
