Sage green dress drama - Bride

[lgcoopers]

Bride wants me to send a picture over of what I've chosen

I must wear a dress that's sage green. So must DD and DS (wear sage green). DD has to wear a dress but is exempt (bride's words) from wearing ballet slippers because she isn't walking yet

The men must wear any suit colour but black, with a sage green tie.

AIBU to tell her I can't find anything in my size really that's sage green?

She wants me to send pictures of what I've chosen for the kids before they turn up on the day

Sorry, I realise this isn’t helpful but this is absolutely bonkers!

I think the men should wear sage green dresses, same as the women.

It would be no more ludicrous than the bride dictating what everyone should wear.

Coast have some:

I an attempt to be helpful, think you’d just about get away with calling this sage green?

I know this is maternity but it’s beautiful

Have a look on Vinted! Just search sage green dress & filter by size

Bride is out of order dictating guests must wear a certain colour. However, if you want to go to the wedding have a look on Ebay, there are some pre-loved sage green dresses, lovely but cheap.

this?

Absolutely.

It can be anything you want it to be, except maybe orange.

I know it’s quite casual but I think it would work. Whether bridezilla will approve it I don’t know (can’t actually believe she’s demanding the right to veto your outfit…!)

@BatshitBanshee @Tanith <whispers> it’s the fair folk’s colour , you don’t want to be upsetting the fair folk… Mamgu maintained a healthy fear of upsetting the bwbach. In fact, the only sage I’d be taking to that wedding is the kind you can burn to ward off bad luck…😁

I hate green and it's a colour I would never wear. If I was dictated to like that by a bride I think I'd have to decline the invitation.

Nonsense.

Why are you indulging this nonsense? Brides do not get to dictate what you wear as a guest and demand you buy new outfits for your entire family. Tell her to wise up.

Honestly, I know it isn't what you are asking- but I wouldn't go. Apart from the batshit request, can you imagine how stressful the whole day will be of she is that bent on it being perfect?

I assumed at first that you are a bridesmaid.
If you aren't a bridesmaid then surely she doesn’t dictate what you are wearing?

She sounds nuts.

I’d buy this, tie over one shoulder, drape and waft about

Why can she dictate what you wear?
on what planet?
what?!

this is so odd

Unless you’re a bridesmaid

It’s bonkers but you have been given a lot of options on this thread. If you are self conscious about your weight then can you get a bolero or shawl?

Her demands are ridiculous. Don't go.

Blimey talk about bridezilla! Honestly she has no right to tell you and your family what you should wear. I would either not go at all or turn up wearing an orange dress with cerise pink shoes.

No she isn't. Don't be paranoid.
