how to stop my mother in law wearing white to my wedding?

Easy Weddings Expert

I think the best way to avoid this in the first place is to take her shopping initially, that way you can openly discuss colours, shapes, and styles openly with her. Or, if you don't feel comfortable doing this, enlist your sister in law, partner or even your mum to help with the process. Of course you want your MIL to look and feel amazing on the wedding day, as it's also a very important day for her, too. One way to avoid this issue altogether it to ask her to wear a particular colour, like navy, for example, and explain that it will look nice with your colours and theme. Some people opt to have their immediate family all wear something in one hue, and it can look really stunning in photographs. If this isn't your style, maybe just mention to her if she's showing you white/ivory options that the garment is nice, but you would much prefer it in another colour. Trust us, she will get the hint. The best way to avoid issues like this is to be honest with her from the beginning and discuss your expectations, as that way, no one will be upset. If she is set on wearing some white or ivory, perhaps it could be in the form of a floral print or similar rather than a block colour. At the end of the day, though, as long as she isn't wearing a wedding dress, I wouldn't be worried. We do have a few stores on Easy Weddings that cater for mothers of the bride and mothers of the groom, just take a look at the formalwear section of the website to see some of the options available.
