Hi there
This is my first post so go easy on me!
My wedding is based on 2 colours (4 bridesmaids 2 in each) we've got ties in the colours too - Grooms side in one colour, my dad and Groom in the other colour.
My mum and MIL are discussing tones of similar colours for their dresses not matching but toning or failing that my mum wants to wear silver and match me more (my dress has silver embellishments) she bought a dress but doesn't think it is close enough to the bridesmaids dresses (duller colour & more metallic than she thought)
My dad's partner (of 12+ years who I get on well with!) asked me today what colour she should wear to match my dad and I said you won't be able to match my dad but I'll give you a colour that will tone with his outfit, it's my and my OH's wish that my dad matches the bridesmaids (one of which is my sister). I don't think, judging by her reaction that she's happy with this but I can't tell her the colour and I can't have her match my dad. It's going to put my mum's nose well out of joint and tbh I would prefer she wasn't overly involved in the wedding. Personality wise she's lovely but can be a bit nosy & over involved in things and this is something I want to do with my mum. She's been a mother of the bride before for her own daughter and I don't think it's fair if she was involved here.
How do I keep everyone friends but still have my mummy centre stage at this?
