mother vent- UPDATED TONIGHT
So wednesday night me, my mom, and sis went to a bridal store to try on gowns.
The lady who helped me put a veil on me so i could see "the complete ensemble". Then she asked if i planned on wearing a tiara. I said NO,it's not me. Im either going to do a flower or crystal brooch on the side of my hair.
My mom proceeds to tell me that I MUST WEAR A TIARA. HOW WILL ANYONE KNOW IM THE BRIDE (hello??if they dont know im the bride then they shouldn't be at my weading )AND THAT I NEED TO BE A PRINCESS SINCE I DIDNT HAVE A SWEET 16 TO BE ONE (my family has big 10-15k sweet 15 or 16s, i never wanted one!!I dont want to be a princess, i ant to be me as a bride).This went on for 10 minutes. She was putting on Huge miss america tiaras on me!
Im going later on today to look for more dresses and im getting a headache already thinking of her bringing up the subject again.
UPDATE
So we went to try on more dresses. I am 99.5% sure i found my dream gown. Anyway, she continued trying on me the Miss America tiaras. Then i told the bridal sales attendant to bring me a crystal brooch so i can try it on the side of my head. I put it on and my mom stayed quiet.
I asked what she thought and she said, "Wow, i like that look better". She didnt say i was right but it was good enough

Re: Let me vent about my mother
Mothers will be mothers. Just cannot change them unfortunately. What worked for me when I was getting married is DH and I paid for everything on our own and after the wedding our parents gave us $$$ as gifts. This really eliminates the hassle and for my mom to feel I have to go with what she likes.
I hope today will be much better for you.

Ya know, my mother has these weird episodes about stuff too. Try the stupid tiaras on & then don't buy it.

Re: Let me vent about my mother
Show her some pictures of what YOU want and tell her that this is something that you just don't want to budge on.

Re: Let me vent about my mother
it's your wedding, hold your ground, my mom used the same reasoning and I ended up in a veil.

So we went to try on more dresses. I am 95.5% sure i found my dream gown. Anyway, she continued trying on me the Miss America tiaras. Then i told the bridal sales attendant to bring me a crystal brooch so i can try it on the side of my head. I put it on and my mom stayed quiet.
I asked what she thought and she said, "Wow, i like that look better". She didnt say i was right but it was good enough
Sounds like you've found some hope! And your dream gown to boot!!!

I am so glad she came around, it could have made planning a little more difficult if she hadn't
