Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet...

Hehehehe

If you think Say Yes to the Dress bride or bridesmaids is bad, then oh honey, you ain't seen nothin' yet. If TLC began airing SYTTD: Mother-of-the-bride, I have no doubt it would be the be-all-end-all of television drama.

In my world, there are few ladies as opinionated as me - and one of them is the one who helped make me this way - my mama. I love her oh so much and I'm slowly becoming more and more like her (yes, I am becoming my 13-year-old self's worst nightmare). Trying on over 30 gowns to find my own was an act of God and we made it through, but now that it's her turn - cue the melodrama. Perhaps I'm being just a little unfair, we've only been to two different shops. But it's becoming a battle of what I like the look and color of, what she thinks looks good, and what she's actually comfortable in - it turns out, that's three different dresses.

She really wants to look her best, and I want her to, too. If anyone has any advice on finding that perfect mother-of-the-bride dress, bring it on! We're trying to complement my colors (see David's Bridal's peacock and sangria) by bringing in navy or I could also see a nice pistachio-ish green or even gold. Think jewel tones. As far as dress style, we're looking for full-length and definitely not strapless. We welcome (with open arms) any suggestions or links or gently used options.

the week after getting engaged

While we still have a little over 4 months (inner freak-out happening just typing that) til the day, she is working with a short timeline considering some companies have an 8-12 week ship time. Not to mention, mother-of-the-groom is anxiously waiting for mother-of-the-bride to make her selection.

My mama is being incredibly patient with my many moods and the occasional bridezilla moment, especially since we're also living under the same roof again - OY! I love her so much and feel so thankful to be sharing this experience with her, I can only imagine how I'll miss her once I'm living off
 somewhere as Mrs. Groom.
