Hi all not a rant as such as feeling embarrassed by myself! My beautiful angel daughter and she really is will be my bridesmaid she's just turned eight and all the dresses I point out to her she doesn't like I try to explain that she has to try on lots to see how they look so were happy but I found myself uttering those words I said I would never say " it's my day " arrrgh bridezilla or what I hated those words forming on my lips never mind spitting them out and yes it is my day well actually our day but I sounded like a spoilt brat she's only eight but I just got sick of her lack of consideration to what I would like but I now feel selfish I wouldn't dream of putting anyone in anything their not comfortable with but someone has to make the final decision anyone else feel like this x

I'm not at that point but don't feel bad hun. If she's not interested in trying on dresses ( her mum ) picks then I'd stop looking and do something else, like pick the men's outfits or turn the attention to something else. She'll soon want to try them on. She's just being a normal 8 yr old. When I was a bridesmaid when I was younger I didn't like a dress because of the colour and that's proberly how she's looking at it. Don't think of urself as bridezilla look at it that ur her mum and doing what's best for her n u xx

Don't feel embarrassed hun, its hard to enagage children and get them as excited as you about your wedding. She probably dosn't know how important it is to you. x

Yeah gonna make it a special day for her breakfast and shopping trying on stuff and dinner so it all exciting I am gonna back off let her come to me I'm the adult here she agrees to the colour so just have to find a dress she likes the trouble is she likes all the styles for the older child not eight yr olds I am sure we'll get there as she's so excited thanks for advice x

When I was picking them for my bridesmaids, I found some, showed my girls, they loved them, showed H2B's girl and her reply was, oh they are pretty young looking (bearing in mind the models were young so made them look young dresses), or they would make her look flat chested! So I just picked a dress I liked, ordered it and then showed them!
I agree with Princess2be, its hard for them, i suppose they dont understand all the stress of it all. You're going to have moments like that, you're planning a wedding after all!

Yeah, I agree with ladies above. It's totally understandable what you feelings, kids really are sent to try us some times! Why not take a break from it for a couple of weeks and then do what some of the others suggested and give her the colour and go around letting her pick. Say if she doesn't want to do that then you'll just get one for her. Then just tough it out. You're the mum and it's your wedding, what you say goes! x

i guess i am lucky in that my 8 year son IS excited and interested....strange as that seems, he loves picking suits but says no pink please mum, eventually negotiated a pink bow tie with him lol. He has his days where he doesnt like anything but i just try and keep him involved in as much planning as he wants and he likes feeling he is helping plan the big day. I am sure you will get there in the end but i understand it can be annoying.

BUT to one person you may just be THE WORLD x x x

It must be hard for them, but dont be embarrased. It seems so far away and you're already talking about dresses. Maybe do a countdown with her so she gets excited? Try to keep her as involved as you can with the planning, if there is any DIY that she can help with then get her involved. she might change her tune nearer the time - plus xmas is coming up and I know Id be more exited at that at 8 years old xx

I have a feeling that in a few years to come you'll both be able to look back at that moment & laugh, who knows, maybe even during the planning of her big day! :-)
