But one woman explained that she found her “dream dress”, only for her mother to insist she would look “fat” in it.
She took to Reddit to share the situation, titling her post: “My mom thinks my wedding dress will make me look fat.”
“I’ve already picked out my dream dress to be custom made, and it’s a simple satin ball gown with pleats and off-the-shoulder shoulders,” she said.
“I have chubby arms and a large bust (34DDD), so my mother insists that this design will not look good on me and will make me look fat.
“I want to make sure my mom likes the dress, but it’s also my big day.
“It’s taken me a long time to find this design that I love.”
The woman, who said she weighs 20 pounds and is 5 feet 7 inches tall, added that because she is having a destination wedding, she won’t be able to try on the dress until she gets there.
“Any suggestions on any other designs that would suit chubby arms/large bust?” she asked.
“I look for modest/slightly conservative dresses.”
However, people in the comments section were quick to chide her mother for saying that about her wedding dress.
“I just want to say that I (respectfully) hope your mom stops being an idiot,” one said.
“You said it yourself, it’s your big day – you’ll look so beautiful in whatever dress you choose and you’ll look stunning as you marry the love of your life.
“Focus on yourself, your partner and all the good memories you will make.
“Your mother doesn’t understand and I’m sorry for her.”
“Your dress will look beautiful on you,” insisted another.
‘The ball gown skirt with shoulder detailing will give you a classic hourglass silhouette.
“The comment about your mother’s body can go in the trash where it belongs.”
“It sounds like your mom is projecting her insecurities onto you,” a third agreed.
