Bride Regrets Buying Dress That She Doesn't Like But Her Mum Loved | Say Yes To The Dress UK

[@Raevynwing]

I feel bad for the first mom because she didn't even know her daughter didn't like the dress to begin with. She should have said she didn't like it when she was there to shop and kept trying on the style she wanted.

[@mommynab]

I think she must not have known what she wanted at the time of purchase and has changed her mind the closer it gets to the wedding. We haven't seen a bride yet hate a dress and buy it.🤔 Well, unless it was cheap.

[@lindaliriel]

I nearly was that girl. My mum didn't want to come to my dress shopping (she wanted me to buy one in a wedding fair and I just didn't feel happy with that, also because she is very pushy). When I went to my first fitting she came alone with me to see it. She declared my dress made me look old and fat (I have a 20 BMI). She tried to guilt me into buying a different dress, one with little butterflies sown on top which I hated (ok for someone else, but NOT me) and ultimately I was brought to tears because I felt miserable in the dress she was pressuring me into. THANKFULLY I was already aware that my mum is on the narcissistic spectrum. I became angry when she acted like a victim the moment she noticed the shopkeepers disagreeing with her and looking at her for making me cry. I told her what she said was hurtful, although she of course denied even saying it, but everyone there heard her. I told them I was still going to get it, but she had messed with my mind enough for me to browse internet etc...ultimately none appealed to me as much as mine. Had I not realised my mum was on the spectrum, I might have ended up buying a cheap dress from that fair, or some horrible unflattering thing she "loved". Side note/happy ending: when I went to pay the final cost of my dress was MUCH lower than they had anticipated: they didn't make me pay for the fittings, the veil nor the custom bolero. I think the discount was their way of "hugging" me after that episode with her. I got married in MY dress, which my husband loved and which was a success for the people I care about. I didn't feel old, nor fat, nor a princess: I was a queen in my own right :)

"I'll cry if you walk down they aisle in that dress" Even though she redeemed her self in the end I would have lost it with my mom had she said that. I would probably have responded 'No worries Mom, no one will see you since you won't be there". I detest these bullying mothers who are either trying to relive their own wedding experience, playing dess up with the daughter for the last time, or just basically making the wedding all about them. That is why I am a strong advoate of the bride paying for her own dress and getting what makes her happy. I had a similar experience with my mom but it concerned my glasses. My parents retired a few states away and I went to visit them after about a 6 month absence. My mom was delighted to see me but hated the frames of my glasses. We have an excellent relationship, so I let it pass other than to tell her that I was sorry she felt that way because I liked them. But she wouldn't drop the subject to the point towards the end of my visit she said that when I returned for my next visit she hoped that she wouldn't be seeing those frames. I assured her she need not worry because she wouldn't be seeing them again. I was looking her straight in the eye and she got the point: I wouldn't be returning anytime soon. Her face fell and she apologized profusely. BTW I was in my 30's and the frames were typical of the style at that time, so they weren't outrageous. I should also say that she brought up the subject during the entire week long visit to the point that dad told her to stop and that if sll she had to complain about her daughter was her choice in frames for her glassess she really didn't have any complaints worth mentioning.

[@narrationsworld2553]

Just because your mom made negative comments about your glasses you decided not to visit her! It is SO strange to me. May be it's a cultural difference. But where I live, that's too petty of a reason.

[@interestedobserver-gk3ih]

@@narrationsworld2553 This was just the tip of the iceberg and the story went much deeper and was in essence an allegory to our actual relationship. My mom was a controlling helicopter mom who was always trying to manage my life and career. When she didn't get her way she would yell and scream at me then not speak to me for 10 days. She intimidated me and at times frightened me as a child and I had to fight to stand up for my self. She once told me that I might as well give in because she would nag me until I did. The message she recieved was accept me as I am and the decisions I make about my career and my person or I won't be back. It was a turning point in our relationship. I would always listen to her point of view but the final decision was mine and that she would have to accept it because I wouldn''t put up with her nagging, or her feroocious temper. I had a highly successful career that resulted in a lucrative retirement so I knew what I was doing. I worked in a highly technical field in management which she did not have a background in. Nonetheless I respected her opinion but the problem was getting her to accept mine.

my mum said she doesn't care what dress i wear as long as i love it and i feel so lucky because most of these brides' mums are just....

[@sarahrobinson1866]

@@barbarat5729 yeah but my mom is really like that. Calling me fat and trying to manipulate me into making a decision. Moms really can be this mean.

[@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat]

My mom was injured and unable to shop with me so I found my own dress and she just had to be happy with it.

[@rochellecampbell5386]

Mothers should not be askedd what THEY want on a day like this. They had their day. And their likes and dislikes are not the same as the Bride. No person is the same , whether theyr ur blood or not. Bridal shops shouldnt give Mothers a choice invthis matter. Moms can view their opinions if asked and also be respectfull in how they say what. Its rubbish that Moms make this day so difficult for the Brides.

[@hearsthewater]

Oh, that second mom. I'm having flashbacks to my years as a wedding coordinator. UGH

[@WoodArtAndWoof]

Daughters...STAND up to your mother and say NO! They gave birth to you but they don't OWN you!

[@s-bles]

This is why ignoring your own needs and just trying to please others is often a bad idea. One can still say no yet be kind. Did a couple little alterations really make her go from disliking it to loving it?

[@SadieDLdn]

The first mum is so sweet

[@SewFrancine6120]

I’m married 36 years and I intentionally did not take my mother to buy my wedding gown all those years again and I would stand by that decision today you’ve got a remember people have their own motivations their own opinions and most people don’t know how to keep it to themselves especially parents go buy your wedding dress buy the one you like ignore any naysayers.

[@megalopolis2015]

Hayley and her mom were on the same team, even though they didn't know it. Together they created a stunning dress. Nikita and her mother were adversarial, but they didn't know it. Together/separately they picked a dress that hopefully the bride will Love. That's about it. Happy marriages, ladies.

"I am pretty hard to please." Oh come on you are not getting married!!

[@achuthanbabu8183]

In the end mom knows the best 😊 both looked good in what their mum's picked. Be grateful for having mum's who would point out to you if something is wrong not for you and be their for you when you need her the most. Cheers to mum's around the world 💕

Mom already bought her wedding dress they should hush it and let the daughter pick their own.

I had a stillborn baby girl, she was my only daughter. What I would give to have this day with her. Mothers, be bloody grateful for what you have and shut up!! It’s not your day, it’s your daughter’s. Just be thankful that you have her. Makes me so angry and sad at the same time.

I never knew there was a crinoline that could turn a dress into a mermaid style! The straps will be easy to add, and it’s a big improvement!

[@cute_canadian_redhead6747]

they also pinned the dress at the back to bring it in more mermaid style, the crinoline just fills out the bottom.

[@juliebriz1703]

I love the changes that were made to the dress of the young lady whose mum chose it - looked so lovely x

[@fedrasuarez132]

well to be fair that first dress from the second bride was not fair on her figure, she was pretty and curvy, mom was right to hate it I think.

[@JudyHart1]

If the bride loved it, that should be her choice, her wedding, not Mom’s.

[@marise-cellardoor2031]

The second mum was harsh as hell... but she did pick by far the most flattering dress on the bride. Hope the bride doesn't love it any less after knowing her mum picked it :')

[@broadway520]

If I were that sales lady, my tongue would be bleeding from biting. Like "Mom, you already had your own wedding, right?"

Why do parents feel entitled to make all the decisions on their kids weddings? Its their day not yours!

[@Dr3Mc3Ninja]

"I bought it because my mum liked it." Wise up. You could have said at the time.

[@lynnford412]

I remember one time my mom offered to cut my hair, and when i accepted, i absolutely hated what she’d done to it. I know my mom tried her best and i made her feel bad, i apologized about blowing up and we moved on. Thats the best you can do in a situation like that.

[@lozzylols]

I am always so shocked with some of these Mothers! I thought I'd never be a bride, but I found my Prince Charming a month before lockdown this year, so it's been a different style of dating etc. Anyway we are engaged and I hope to go wedding dress shopping next year..... I know my Mum will be happy as long as I am, we are so close that she knows all of my body hang ups, and she would honestly tell me if she felt certain areas weren't flattering, but she would do it in a kind and honest way. I don't know if some of these mothers are asked to play up for the cameras, or are just rude, but they can ruin so much for a bride! X

[@jocels3947]

She can speak her mind with no problems. Her mom doesnt seem pushy. For me, she is the one being unfair. She is giving her mom a heartache. If she planned to go with the flow with what her mom wants she shouldve just forget what she wants and not to speak of it ever again.

[@Timbergal]

HOW can a mother say such hurtful things to their daughters on such an important day in their lives together?

[@LuceWithLove]

'I'm never cocky about being right'... Can you hear yourself?

Never buy a dress just because your mom likes it. She's not the one wearing it.
