    I'm pretty sure I found my dream dress the 1st time i tried it on... as my mum lives abroad she only has seen pictures of it and she doesnt seem to like it at all and tries to find all sort of excuses why i shouldnt buy it... how an i convince her that this dress is possibly the one I love and want!? What can I do? Thx for ur help

    its your dress not hers!!! if you love it buy it! simple as, she isn't wearing it you are so she should just be glad you've found one you love. dresses look different on people on anyway so a picture doesn't always do it justice!

    i agree with soon to be mrs mann! every dress looks different when on and every woman wears it different aswell. i would go and try it on again and take a picture. if you still love it and are sure it is the one send the photo to your mum but dont tell her it is the same dress and see what she says! she prob wont even notice! xx

    Agree with MrsMann.. Its not her dress its yours!! And if its your dream dress why shouldn't you get it?? After all your the one getting married..

    Maybe once she sees you in the dress she'll change her mind. But just remember your the one wearing it hun.. Maybe say well the picture don't do it justice.. Have you sent her a picture of you wearing it?? Maybe that'll change her mind xx

    I have a mum who disagrees with everything i choose to the point where i stopped asking her round to my home when i moved in because mothing was ever good enough and she was constantly making comments about things. Its your dress and if you love it then you don't need to convince anybody else. Go for it and feel ike the princess you are suppose to on your wedding day xxx

    Thats what my mum is like! dislikes everything i choose wear unless she choose it herself. If you think its 'the one' it will be for you. your the one getting married not your mum.


    Or do the same to her when she spots a mother of the bride outfit x

    I don't think the picture does it justice (trying to put it so I don't sound like a b!tch, lol) it's a bit blurry. If it's the one you love and it makes you feel gorgeous, just forget everyone else and buy it. Oh and have you been the bridal shop in Ifield Green yet? it's amazing, I don't recommend the one in Northgate, the ladies have a tendancy to be rude.

    It's your wedding, no one but you gets the final say over your dress. You'll regret it if you pass up on "the one" just because someone said "urrggh... I wouldn't wear that"- here's an idea. Don't.

    And that dress is beautiful! It's suits you

    you are all so lovely ladies :) thanks so much :)

    I definately will have another look around and see what else is out there but if I'm not going to feel the same as in this dress I really adore i definately know this is going to be the one :)

    yes mara this is a bit sparkly :) its actually not to much is sequined underneath the one material it sparkles a lot in the light :)
    but thanks for the tipp with the ifield bridal shop :) i will have a look inside :)

    but yeah if I really dont find another one which i love as much as this... than my mum wont have a chance and I will take the one I love :)
