Wedding Gown Embroidered Flowers
Does my future mother-in-law want to be a bride again?
My future mother in law is slowly turning our wedding into her wedding. She tries to change everything we do, but this is another story.
The last thing weirded me out, and I feel like she wants to get married again...
She is wearing embroidered champagne gown (which almost looks bridal). If I did not know that she was a mother-in-law, I would mistake her for a bride. When I asked what kind of flowers she wanted, she said only white roses. I feel weird...
My dress is ivory 
Okay - I've been married for a long time. And hopefully you will too. I've had to deal w/my MIL on issues.
First - let the dress go. She feels pretty in it, and unless you are wearing champagne too, trust me, NO ONE will mistake her for the bride. At least it is a tasteful neutral color that will look nice in pictures.
Second - you pick the flowers- a nice corsage that complements yours and the bridesmaids bouquets and your overall floral selection. Since you asked (which was nice but, in retrospect, a mistake) perhaps include a small white rose bud or sweetheart rose so that she doesn't feel like you blew her off when you asked in the first place but it isn't just white flowers.
I don't think she is "weird" or you should be freaked out, she is just caught up in the spirit of the moment and perhaps a bit of a control freak (is this normal for her?). It's hard not to feel a little nostalgic and yes, in someways, want to relive it. This is also very very emotional for her, her son is getting married. My son isn't even 7, and I know I'll be an emotional mess when he gets married.
It will serve your marriage well if you learn to "play the game" and not be confrontational about it. Believe it or not, this is actually her day too in many ways - it is her child that is getting married, her friends & family that will be there, it actually isn't ALL about you.
You just wait until your child gets married. You'll see.
Be gentle with her and remember - do you want to be right for one day or happy for the rest of your marriage.
