[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom and MIL are friendly (talk on the phone occasionally but made an effort to see eachother occasionally around the wedding and in the early years). They coordinated around the color palette. My bridesmaids wore eggplant and my mom wore a dusty purple and my MIL wore a berry color. It was great. I don't think either had their dress approved by me, but they let me know what they were doing.

It's totally normal for the bride to be involved in the palette for both moms, but not to choose the dress, IMO. [/quote]

Most of my friends' MILs asked what they should wear as MoG. They wanted to coordinate and fit in and look like they belong and not be difficult on the wedding day. The hard headed "bride shall have no say" MILs are going to be huge PITAs going forward. If they want to be that way, they can count on not seeing their son often on holidays and playing a minimal role in future grandchildren lives. You have to go along to get along, as they say.

+1 mine asked and I shared our colors and some views on what might be good, but she chose. Obviously her decision in the end but we were all trying to get along.[/quote]
