Ok so I am already married. But we just did the small town cheap weding the first time in Oct. of 07. We went to the court house and got married. We called t our redneck wedding. But we are planning on having a real wedding this year around the same time of our first wedding. But everyone that said they was going to help has ran in the opposite direction. This Sunday is my bridal show. And my mom has walked away from going. My madain of honor works right across the street from where it is going to be and is off on Sundays cause you cant sell cars on this day of the week in Indiana and she is my husbands best friend so I dont want to be ride to her. But she is too tired from school to go. Now I am stuck going by myself with my 2 year old. Because my husband cant go which is okay he is working 7 days a week and that is where he will be. So, I have people complaing about hte colors I have picked and that they refuse to where Dusty Rose because it is a form of pink. But I mean what I am I suppose to do. This is my day right? Not theirs and even if I did change things to fulfill everyones wishes I cant because noo ne will actually help me out. Would I be wrong to just tell everyone that I am going to pick other people to be apart of my wedding. My day? Or is that just too harsh?

If I were you I would choose different people to be in the wedding. You're right when you say it is YOUR day. Not theirs. They will have their chance (or already have) to get married and choose the colors they like. A bridesmaid is supposed to keep all evil comments to herself. If she doesn't like something, ok, but she should keep it to herself. Your maid of honor should try her hardest to be with you whenever she can to help you choose things. I backed down from being maid of honor at my own sisters wedding because I knew school would interfere with my duties.

I"m sorry you have to deal with that though. If you feel like you need to choose a different bridal party, then you should. you shouldn't feel stressed because people aren't cooperating. :hugs

ETA: I just googled dusty rose and I would wear that color!! it's very pretty!

i think it is a very pretty color. i actually didnt pick the color my daughters did. and this is also their day in my eyes. my oldest daughter adrianna has been wanting me to marry for years and she is so excited about this. i think somedays she is more excited about this then i am. and when she asked me if i would use that color in the wedding as flowers i said yes and went ahead and over turned it as a flower color and made it my bridal parties dress color. thanks. i think in my eyes it is more of an antique color. and goes well with the itme of year that the wedding is going ot be.

Psh, my bridesmaids wore bright pink. Not that I really wanted them to, it just sort of worked out that way (I wanted them to match my husband, lol, he was wearing dress blues). No one complained about it either, but the dresses were pretty.

I'd tell them to stop complaining until they see the dress, I'm sure it will look beautiful.

thanks. i will try to add to this the photos of the dresses. and let me know what all of you think ok!!!!

i am soooo sorry you are going through this, i agree it is YOUR day not THEIRS, do what you want and if they have problems, just simply tell them "ok, well then you dont have to be in my wedding party" put some of this on them, if my friend asked me to wear the most hideous dress for her wedding, i would, because it would make HER happy.

hugs, and keep us posted.

thanks the bridal show was great and i got some more wonderful ideas. but no help from anyone. well amber was ther shopping and she swung by and gave me her opinion on a few wedding dresses. but i think i am going to stick with my original one!!!!

YOUR day. YOUR colors. YOUR way.

I'd pick different people for my wedding. :hugs
