My Bipolar Mother Is Ruining My Wedding For Me?

By not giving her so much power, it seems you still want to rely on her for dress shopping and moral support which is really normal on your part. The sooner you realize however your Mom is a sick person be it with bipolar or other issues as this story dictates, and stop giving her so much power and credibility in you life, you may feel freer of her. Your a capable adult and while she loves you some things she does is bad for so keep her at arms length. Congrats on your wedding.
