| I spent most of the day helping a friend find a dress to wear to her daughters wedding. We didn't agree on much. The dress she bought,I feel, is inappropriate, she was so excited though I had to bite my tongue and go with it. I thought about purchasing 3 other dresses that , in my opinion, show class and style and would be perfect, having a celebration and letting the friends at the party vote on which dress to wear, no one knowing how I feel about the first one cause maybe it's just me who hates the dress. Do you think this is a good idea? I just don't know how to tell her and I would never want to hurt her feelings but she would stick out like a sore thumb and if it where my mom , I would be embarrassed. Help, how would you handle this? We have 2 months, thank goodness. |

| I think that would be very humiliating for your friend. Her choice of outfit is not a democratic one. If you really feel that it is inappropriate you need to say so. Once only, and if she doesn't listen to you, you need to let it drop. |

| find out what other people are wearing and describe the dresses to her, maybe she will start to realise and change it herself.or how about take her out again to get accessories and encourage her to get things that would make it more appropriate e.g. summer cardi/jacket. summer scarf....... |

| She is old enough to pick out her own dress for the event. And yes, a group vote on which dress she should wear is a little over the top and would definitely hurt her feelings. Sounds like you would rather her hate the dress she wears to the wedding than stick out like a sore thumb?? Remember, people will be looking at the bride, not her mother, and unless her choice is something in leather, most people will not even remember what she wore. |

| I would suggest to her that since it is her daughters wedding that she get her opinion on it before deciding. I know that that's what I am doing for my daughter's wedding. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
