So, I'm having a very formal wedding this February. It's in a beautiful church at The University of the Incarnate Word here in San Antonio...probably the most ornate church we have in town. It's an evening wedding and we are going all out.
I have a Maid of Honor (older sister), Matron of Honor (little sister) and two bridesmaids (my best friends). My problem is that my older sister, whom I love with all my heart, is an artist with a very creative style. I actually love how she dresses and does her hair...it's a different color every time I see her, and I love her bold attitude.
However, the rest of us are very conservative in style and will be very much fitting in with the elegant theme. My sister has joked more than once about getting a shoulder tattoo to compliment the way the dress looks in the back.
Again - I love, love, love my sister, but I don't want bright orange hair (definitely a possibility) and the alternative style to be a distraction from the ceremony (or from me!) Is there a polite and tender way I can guide her towards toning it down? Or should I just give it up and let whatever happens happen?
................................
EDIT: I may have written poorly...I certainly didn't intend to say anything to deserve some of the hurtful and ugly responses I got. I do love my sister for who she is and wouldn't have asked her to be in the wedding if I felt differently.
Sometimes her hair is dyed a natural color and sometimes it's hot pink. Of course, I'd prefer it to look natural at the wedding and I guess that's what I should have said. I was really just asking for "advice", which is what I thought these boards were for. Whatever she ends up doing, I'll get over it, but thank you anyway.
