After All, Whose Wedding Is It?

If you know anything about weddings and are in the least bit interested in watching wedding television shows, then you may be familiar with the hit show-Whose Wedding Is It Anyway? This show deals with overbearing family and friends that take over the wedding plans of an otherwise perfectly capable bride. If you are a bride that is dealing with a bossy mom, sister, cousin, or wedding planner, then rest assure that you are not alone. One of the major disagreements that a mother and daughter may fight about is the bridal gown or bridal jewelry.

While mom may have preserved her wedding gown for her daughter to wear on her special day or grandmother’s antique pearls, the bride may have her heart set on a more modern approach to her bridal attire. If any of this sounds familiar to you, then you may consider the following suggestions.

Avoid Hurt Feelings…

Although mom may not be considering your feelings at the moment, you must be the bigger person and spare her feelings. One gesture that you might want to take is to reassure your mom that her bridal gown is beautiful and that she made a wonderful bride. If wearing your late grandmother’s pearl bridal jewelry is an issue with your mother, then gently explain to her that you understand the sentimental value that it holds for her, however, it is not what you had in mind for your wedding day.

Stand Your Ground…

Remind your mom and other members of the bridal party that your wedding is a day that you have dreamed about for years. With respect to your bridal gown, bridal jewelry, and other elements of your wedding day, they need to know that you deserve to have it your way! Do not be afraid to express your feelings, because you will regret it later on down the line.

Come To A Compromise…

It is best to come to a mutual agreement with your mother. A picture is worth a thousand words! You may consider taking a few professional photographs in your mother’s wedding gown or your grandmother’s pearl bridal jewelry or both. Although you may have decided not to wear either on the wedding day, your mom will have a photograph that will reflect her wishes for your special day.

Ultimately, it is up to you to decide what is more important to you and stick to it. Whether you decide to wear your mother’s wedding gown or your grandmother’s antique wedding jewelry, your mom will love you regardless of your decision. Just remember to be gentle and spare any hurt feelings that may arise. Getting married is a fun and exciting adventure, despite the stress that it may cause in the interim.
