So, I love my future MIL however she has some tendencies that can be a little agitating. Recently she asked me what color the girls were wearing. I told her a dark plum color... So now she is showing me all types of dresses that she wants to get trying to match the bridemaid colors perfectly. She has a history of this. I found a picture from the 90's when her cousin got married and she was wearing a white dress suit. In my opinion completely inappropriate. When she first mentioned she wanted to wear a very similar color I tried nicely to encourage her to wear purple in a lighter color like a lavender or wisteria color, or even our accent color of Champagne, like my step mom. " Oh, wouldn't you want to wear a lighter color to stand out from everyone else? You are the mother of the groom, you want to be different from the girls.You're an honored guest!" She didn't take this as me asking her to change her color. She instead told me she preffered the jewel tones of plum. I asked my step mom what I should do, she said to tell her out right how I feel, but I don't want to be a bitch. What would you ladies do? Do you think I am just being silly and to let her wear what ever color she wants?
Thanks
