What to do with my girlfriends mom?

My girlfriends mom is a tad over controlling, and its getting to be about prom time. Her mom told her that it the girl picks out the corsage and bootenneer, and the boy pays. I asked if i could go with them and they said it was alright. I showed up 5 minutes late and they had both picked out already and expected me to just go with it. I just said that i didn't like yellow and it turned out to be a huge deal... My mom pays for both flowers, and we leave. My girlfriend and her mom go to lunch and gossip about how big of a fit i threw. What should i tell my girlfriend. If it helps you understand the situation better we have been dating for 2 years.

Update:

Well i have to were this flower. I told her i didnt want yellow on the tux. And if i wasnt asked for my opinion i wouldnt have said anything. Its the mom i want help with...

    well you and your girlfriend should have discussed this with each other. and i have a question. how come your parents had to go with you to get it? im sure your mom could have just gave you the money for it. but anyways, just tell your girlfriend that it wasn't cool they left you out of something YOU would be wearing and PAYING for. and if she doesnt understand that, then she's the one with the problem.

    I guess prom is similar to a wedding in that it's really more about the girl. I'm actually surprised you care about detail stuff. I'd leave it alone. Who cares about flowers? They're just plant genitalia. When it comes to more important stuff like where you guys are going to college, or even something like buying furniture, help in the decision-making process. If she still proves to be overbearing and inconsiderate of your opinions, just tell her why you hold that opinion and that she's not respecting it.
