I told her if she really wanted that I would try to accommodate, but that pale colors and pink especially would make me look like a zombie, was she open to other colors?
And she said it wasn’t a requirement, that my mother was wearing pale blue, and the groomsmen were wearing a medium blue, so I found a pale/soft blue dress that would work (all the formal dresses I own are black, dark blue or dark purple, and I didn’t want to be the one dark dress in a sea of light colors!).
And then my shoes, purse and jewelry were light gold to try to cue into the champagne color.
But I asked her first, instead of going off on my own thing, and made sure my choice would blend with others for the family photos.
So there are ways to work with these requests, if the bride and family members are reasonable!
