‘These look like dresses from The Bachelor rose ceremonies,’ cry critics after seeing a mother of the bride’s gown picks
ONE mother of the bride did not know how to take a step back from being the center of attention on her daughter’s big day.
People even compared her gown choices to a scene from a popular reality show.
Just as she was not about to accept a rose on The Bachelor, critics could not accept her dress picks.
Redditor Thewisestgoat was in disbelief over the dress designs her mother had picked out.
“Okay, I need advice, am I overreacting? My mother has been sending me potential dresses she wants to wear to my wedding,” she said.
“My wedding ceremony and reception are both outdoors. Guests are wearing cocktail attire,” she continued.
“I know the wedding party usually dresses up more than the guests, but I think these options are absolutely over the top and ridiculous.”
She explained how this bad behavior was nothing new.
“My mom has a history of making special days for me all about her. She does it in subtle ways, then when I get upset, she plays the victim,” she said.
“This is her way of making the day about her.”
Meanwhile, she shared how her own wedding dress was plain and simple.
It wasn’t even adorned with any elaborate detailing such as beading or lace.
“Her choices seem over the top and will pull a lot of negative attention towards her,” she said.
She tried to help by sending some of her own selections which she thought were a bit more appropriate.
“She keeps asking for suggestions but she has hated everything I sent her, even though she keeps telling me she will get anything I want her to wear,” she said.
“Keep in mind my mom is 60 plus years old and midsize.”
Her picks included gowns featuring lots of glitz and glam.
Others were even more in shock over the over the top styles.
“These look like dresses from The Bachelor rose ceremonies. Not a wedding!” wrote one Redditor.
“Perfect comparison, sign mom up for Golden Bachelor if she wants to wear these lol,” another user agreed.
One of the looks her mom was a fan of included a flashy off-shoulder $750 Azzure Couture design that features a fitted silhouette and beading.
If mom chooses this style, she’ll also be able to show off a side slit.
Another option was a layered embroidered evening dress from Terani Couture.
Mom will most certainly garner attention with a plunging V-neckline and plenty of shiny embellishments.
The tulle layered skirt features additional sheer design elements.
