HELP!! I need ideas. I was reading etiquette and it says Mothers of the Groom should "show up, shut up, and wear beige!! LOL Any help would be appreciated.
I did buy the beige...and hated it (took it back, and bought what I really liked instead!). Hey, these days they are using black and red wedding dresses (GASP!). So, I figure, I can LIKE my dress! I have used it on four occasions since... The beige would have gone to the thrift store immediately! Actually, I ASKED fellow shoppers about the beige and 100% unanimous, they all advised against it (on me). I was dutiful, and bought it anyway...husband agreed, not for me, so returned next day! I wore navy (bleu is for boys-right?) instead. It was the prettiest dress I've ever had, except my wedding dress...but NOT flash whatsoever!
