Hi everyone,
My wedding is going to be a semiformal barn affair in the afternoon during August. My mom doesn't seem to like that idea because she thinks it is too casual. I understand she'll come around to it, but for the most part she also seems to get pushy about some things. For example, I'm having my bridesmaids wear mint-colored chiffon short dresses. They're beautiful. But my mom seems surprised that they aren't wearing floor-length gowns. She also is concerned that the wedding is going to be too formal and will offend some people. She also keeps looking at MOB dresses that are very heavy for this wedding - she really wants a floor length gown in a dark color and wants full sleeves. I don't really know what to tell her other than what our wedding is - and that the style just isn't going to work. Everyone is going to be in suits and short dresses, but my mom just can't get past that idea. I don't want her overdressed for the wedding, but I want to make her happy. How do you guys handle this?
