Apparently, my mom and I have very different tastes in dresses 
I was going for PG and dramatic, she is going for G rated and pretty. However she and my fiancé have similar tastes so while I went from being annoyed that she was setting me up to look like Pollyanna, I realized that I'm probably the only nod tripping. I think we agreed on a general look, but I want to make sure I'm not being a people pleasery punk.
I can see the vision of the attached dress and hair. Can y'all see the vision or is it country and unremarkable like I thought some of her other suggestions were?
Please don't quote. I've been telling her how much she needs to join this forum and apparently my friends and family irl can easily identify me by writing style, as has happened before so imma delete this

Have you tried that style on?

I thought I wanted a dress with that kind of neckline. It looked awful on me! Definitely go try on before you get your heart set on one style.

I really want a dress like that but I am nervous about how it will look because I'm pretty "heavy chested". I've been avoiding setting a date with a bridal shop because of this.

I've tried an A line on but not that neckline. I like the A line more than I thought (I originally wanted drama) but what's the concern with the neckline? I'm pretty big busted
I was actually supposed to go with my mom to try dresses on today but I still in bed
I love that dress so much InchHighPrivateEye!

I just mean that what you like in pictures you may or may not like on you. That's all. I didn't really want strapless when I went in and that's what o came out with. Keep your mind open and try on all styles.

Ok, thanks! I'm really new to all this (ppl are asking me stuff like "well what kind of dress/venue/etc did you have in mind?" and I've never really thought about any of this before) so I figured y'all knew something that was common knowledge that I didn't know.
I had it in mind to figure out which one I wanted before even trying anything on. My mom was like "naaaah, chief." *insert Oprah head shake*

(want an outdoor wedding) so am I the only one?? No??? I figured I would be

Can I be real for a minute? Everything is going smoothly but really people are showing their true colors. I can see now that a lot of people when they are bridesmaids they just do it for the pictures. They do not care for you at all. My maid of honor and I have fallen out since the wedding and for what I don't know? She just seems distant as hell and we're the type of friends that have never had an argument but lately we got into our first argument (not wedding related) and before then when I asked her to help with wedding stuff she was very Blasé even though event planning is her thing. I called her out and we had a discussion that she hasn't been doing her stuff. I had a bridal shower Saturday. She comes in at the time of the bridal shower (didn't help set up even though she was told directly and emailed to be there at 10) like she is a friggin celebrity. Makeup and hair on fleek. Did not take one picture with me until I told the photographer to take one. But she posted pics on fbook talking bout headed to Priss shower. Then she says she's "so busy with life" to plan the bridal shower but she let it slip the other day she is planning a baby shower for our other friends. Girl bye. It seems like she used to it being her show. Now it's the PrissiSippi Show she is absent. But this is not just a girl off the street this is my MAIN or so I thought.
My other friend knew we were setting up at 10. She decided to go to work until 12. Didn't have to. I ended up setting up my own bridal shower because no one was there actually. It was just me my fiancé and my gay best friend. They showed up round 1 to set up but a lot had been done by us.
My other bridesmaid made an excuse why she couldn't be at the shower. And didn't make it to the other times we got together to meet each other and spend time as bridesmaids. Now this is my fault because she is washy. I am her on again off again friend. She asked to be a bridesmaid and being the too nice person I am. I said yes because she USE to be my best friend.
After the bridal shower we started planning for my bachelorette. Well my matron of honor did. But everyone gave her excuses why they can't do it the 3rd or 4th weekend in February. But you've known about this for months.
Nobody helped clean up. I mean they helped a little but most claimed they had someone to be or were tired. They cleaned up ten minutes and left all the other stuff for my fiancé and I parents to clean up. My matron of honor and one bridesmaid really stuck there and cleaned.
If I could do it over, I would have 4 bridesmaids. Not nine. Most of them are planning their wedding by participating in mine. I'm so tired of hearing "I'm going to get engaged this year and this is what I'm doing. ". You don't know that and let me live my moment.
FI mother in law is a pain. She refers to my fiancé as her baby at all times and treats him as such she tried to order people to do stuff to help "her baby" and he is used to this behavior and doesn't even notice how it affects others. She also keeps saying I need to learn how to keep a house. I think it's because that's the only thing she can do that I cannot do. Keep a house. I'm career woman in turbo drive and she's a house wife. If she continues to talk to me crazy I'm scared I will say something rude before March 7th. I'm kinda waiting on it. It's gonna come out. Sorry for the long vent.

9 bridesmaids?! Oh dear! That sounds like drama. I feel like I don't even have 9 friends I love enough to stand up with me. I don't have any bridesmaids. Since it's destination, I didn't want my friends to feel bogged down by wedding duties. Plus I know myself and I'm too sensitive. Every little thing they did/didn't do would bother me and have me questioning friendships.

Yeeees! I understand this too now!! I mean just wow!! I'm not sensitive when it comes to these things and I'm glad I'm finding out now who my real friends but seriously this has me side eyeing many people. I plan to fade to black after the wedding and close out a few people to my life. They hate too much and too quietly for my liking lol. Especially since I'm the type that will bend over backwards for u. I expect the same just this once.

Damn girl I got frustrated for you just reading this! 9 bridesmaids though??
girl that's a recipe for drama. I'm sure some are envious so they're having a hard time being there for you. This is why I haven't decided on my bridal party. Shoot, as soon as I told my "close" friends about my engagement, they were happy for all of 2 seconds then they all vanished. Went from calling or texting me every day to nada 
Personally, I would start dropping the bridesmaids like flies. But that's just me. The point in having them is to alleviate stress, not intensify it. As for FMI, has she always been this way or is she just now showing out? Cause if she's always been this way...girl...
For now just bite your tongue but after your I do's....

Hahaaa....this is what my fiance keeps saying. 'Are you sure you're gonna get all this done by the fall???' it has crossed my mind numerous times but I really want my fall wedding. Interestingly enough, yesterday I came across this website (foliagenetwork.com) that helped me narrow it down, sort of. I want the vibrant colors of fall for my outdoor wedding and here I thought mid to late September would do it but it's looking like late October in my state!

This was me up until this weekend. The only thing that got me moving was that I was told it takes ~6 months to get a dress after you purchase it and I'm getting married in August. Went to one bridal shop, tried on 5 dresses and picked one.
In one day I picked a dress, a venue, a date and the colors. I'll probably won't get moving on the STDs and invites until the last possible minute either.

The same thing happened with my FH. I told him to go ahead and choose the colors. The colors, his tux and having steak are the only things he cares about so far. Lol
