Making istikhara before consulting one's parents

I have a question on a situation that recently occured. I was going through the Q&A's on this site and read that one should first consult people of experience e.g. parents before making a major decision and then making istikara. In my situation I made my istikara first about a matter and then consulted parents. My istikara felt positive but when speaking to parents they totally disagreed. The reason why I made my istikara first was because I myself wanted to be certain about it and then move forward. What i'm doing now is making dua that in Allah's infinite knowledge and mercy if it is correct then Allah should soften my relatives heart and if not I shud accepted it. Is this correct what im doing?
