Tough - it's your day, not hers, so pick whatever you like the most and are happiest with. If you don't like tulle, don't wear it. If you want souffle, then go get it!

I hope that my child, looking back on today
Will remember a mother who had time to play;
Because children grow up while you're not looking,
There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So, quiet now cobwebs go to sleep.
I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep.

Tasha at the end of the day what your mum wants shouldn't be an issue. It's your wedding. If you like it and want it then you go for it. A lot of mums try to relive their own dreams through their daughters wedding day. I'm not saying your mum's doing this because it wouldn't be fair to say so as I don't know her and also it's not all mums that do it.

You've already said you're not keen on tulle so stay away from it. You like the souffle style skirt which to be honest I think would suit you more than the tulle one you showed us the other day. That was a very pretty dress and I loved it but for someone who isn't a fan of tulle it was an awful lot of it and you probably wouldn't feel happy in it on the day.

Put what your mum wants to one side when choosing your dress and go for what YOU want. Don't look back on the day and wish you'd gone for what you wanted rather than settle for what your mum wanted. Are there any friends that you can go dress shopping with and then show your mum once you've made your decision? Or even make it a surprise for her on the day. I don't think there's a mum around that seeing her daughter on her wedding day would look and say but I didn't want you to have that dress and I'm sure your mum will be the same come the day.

You should have the dress you will feel best in. Its your day and you don't want to regret your choice in years to come. Tulle isn't to everyones taste, although i love it :$

Can you maybe have tulle dresses for your bridesmaids? Just for your mum.

Hope you get the dress you want

Tasha, wear the dress YOU want to... It's YOUR wedding day not your mother's, so pick the one that makes you feel like a bride!!!!
Every dress is someones dream dress even if you hate it. I dislike tulle, so I'm not wearing it.
My mum loves lacy, frilly dresses with big skirts and stuff and she was picking out loads for me to try on. I refused and ended up with the dress I wanted.............. A Maggie Sottero "Dion". I love it and I don't care what anyone else thinks........
Be brave!!!
Tilly

I'm with the others Tasha, it's not up to your mum. You need to feel great on the day and if the Tulle dress doesn't do it for you then stay well away from it!

Another one here who agrees that its not your mums choice and you should get what you want.

Stick to your guns with this one as if you let her "win" this one, how much other stuff will she try and influence? Plus, you have to be totally happy with your dress as its such a big part of the day.

I agree with the others, pick the dress that you really fall in love with, if your Mum doesn't like it - tough! She's had her day!

I agree with the others Tasha. Its you wedding, so you should choose the dress you want, not let your mum decide. Go for the one you love the most and feel happiest in.

It's difficult isn't it - because your mums opinion is important.

However, it's not the b-all and end-all. She is allowed her opinion but as has already been said, it's your day and the buck stops with you.

Decide on what you want - what makes you feel a million dollars - and stick with it honey.

Do you think your mum would change her mind on her perfect wedding outfit if you didn't like it? Probably not, because it makes her feel special so stick to your guns.
