I am 25 yrs old and have finally found the man of my dreams and we are looking at getting married soon and my mom keeps bringing up me wearing my sisters dress. My sisters got married a bout 1.5 yrs ago and is 4 yrs younger than me. Its really getting on my nerves that she actually think thats an option for me.....am I turning into Bridezilla.......and is it ok to be somewhat of a 'zilla when it comes to your wedding day?

Its your Day Princess
And Your choice what to wear for it

That's a difficult decision, for me I think it would be really amazing to be able to wear a sister's or my mother's dress to my wedding, (but maybe that's because I'm an only child and my mom does't have her dress).It could start of a wonderful tradition since maybe your future daughter or niece can wear it knowing it was the dress your sister and you got married in . You could have the dress altered to suit your style more, it the problem is that you don't like the style. Still, if you would like to have the experience of picking your dress then that is fine also. In the end you should wear whatever makes you feel the most beautiful. I don't think you are being a Bridezilla for wanting to have a new dress, it's perfectly normal to want to make your own decisions regarding your wedding.

No, you are not turning into Bridezilla - fact is, 50% of the people at your wedding will already have seen your sister wearing that dress and I don't know many brides that would be okay with that. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting your own dress:) After all, you only get to do this one, why give that up?
Of course, if finances are her reason - you're an adult. At 25 years old, if you want your own dress, just go buy your own dress!

Well I can't really say about the zilla thing since I'm not getting married soon. But I do know that it is YOUR wedding day and that it's your special day. You should have the right to your own wedding dress. Yes it's a one time thing and you'll probably never wear it again, but it's still special. Just like your sweet 16 if you had one, that dress you only wore once. Your wedding dress is just as important if not more. Make sure she understands that you want your own thing, because it's important to you to have one.

No...it's not being Bridezilla...this is YOUR WEDDING DAY...therefore...you get your OWN dress...not a used one (unless it's vintage and what you're looking for - in good condition). Your sister should save her dress to use in the future like my mom did for my sister and me (we took a small square of my mom's gown and had it added to our gowns). So do what you want cause it's all about you. This is one of the times where you can demand what you want and who gives a damn what anyone else says...most people will say "Well, it IS HER wedding..." and think nothing of it. Congrats and best wishes!

I suppose sticking with the dress for the marriage ceremony service and the costume for the reception have been she's going to wish to dance and show off just a little seems like a exceptional idea. Probably the dress must now not be very girly, , simply to slot in somewhat bit with the theme.

I wore my aunts dress, had it altered and made my own vale. I looked great and no one cared or even noticed. But, that is me, not you. If you want your own dress, just go get it and your mother will have to drop the subject. Try not to take everybody so personally at weddings. They have ideas of what they think will make your wedding the perfect one. They only want your complete happiness. It's not worth the upset. Just listen to what they say and make your decision and run with it.

While I agree with Talking to your Mom, explaining how appreciative you are but would prefer something a bit more YOU for your special day, maybe you could offer to incorporate something from her day...like a Hankerchief she used or Wedding jewelry or Veil to show you appreciate the bond. Might put her off track but keep your wedding on your own.

No. U want to have your own dress your own memories. You're going to marry the man of your dreams then have a wedding dress of your dreams.

you can want and do most things within the norm and up to a point.
after all its your day and you can plan on having it any way you wish to have it.
Did you tell her what to do for her wedding.
It is your choice whether you want to wear her dress or not if its offered to you.
If you don't want to and its not your style don't.
there are some places that you can actually rent a dress believe it or not.
I was so surprised to find that out;
Good luck make decisions that mean a great deal to you

its your wedding...not your sisters or your mothers. Pick out your own dress to keep as your own...even if you wear your sisters dress...it is still her dress. Think about the future...would your daughter want to wear your dress? I did not have a sister but even if i did, I still wore my own wedding dress.
