I understand where you are coming from, I have had some of the same problems with my parents wanting to do things their way. I felt really bad because they are helping pay for this types of things, but I have had to tell them that payment does not mean it is there day.
I would say in your case you should express that it is ultimatly your day, and I don't know your mother, but I bet she will understand that the one you want is more your style and better yet an expression of yourself.
I know parents help pay for a lot of weddings, and I know that this is common, but if you haven't thought of it, think about a gift for your mother to show your gratitude for helping out with the wedding.
I know this might be hard, and this is just my opinion, but I would say that you should pick the dress of your dreams, and not regret something on your wedding day. Hope this helps.
