Vent....
I am a bridesmaid in a wedding in July. I saw the bride on Wednesday and she comes to me and says, "I need you to order your dress by the end of the week". No warning, no planning, just I need you to get it.
Come to find out, the other bridesmaids HAVEN'T EVEN TRIED ON THE DRESS YET. It's so frustrating. It's like, if I spend the $$ on this dress and the other girls don't like it, then I am screwed.
Ugh.
/end vent.
Re: Vent....
I had a similar situation! My friend insisted we all order our dress a year ahead of time. I was 5 months pregnant and I wanted to wait a little while to see how much weight I'd gain. I ended up ordering way higher than I was at the time (thankfully because I blew up at the end of my pregnancy!) A few of the girls ended up ordering smaller than they were (because they had high hopes of losing weight) and one had to have a lot of extra fabric added to her dress.
The reason we had to order so early was because the dress was discontinued. Is that the reason for such a rush on this dress?
Good luck!
Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
Losing it...Without Losing it
That is really frustrating not to have more notice! Although I have to say I don't blame her. If the other ladies are dragging their feet, she probably just wants one less thing to worry about.
I'm always amazed at the lead time needed to make sure that dresses arrive on time....I'm guessing she is just getting paranoid and wants it taken care of.
Think of it this way -- if you buy your dress, then the other girls don't have any option to say no.
Awww sorry you are going through this! .... soo annoying! I am overly annoyed by bridezillas.... perhaps my opinion is a bit biased, coming from a former event planner, now photographer haha
But it really irks me when people lose sight of the whole reason why they are getting married. I feel like it just makes you want to question their entire relationship in the first place. Come on people! who cares if your dress got a speck a dirt on it prior to the ceremony- things happen! haha I have even heard of some brides going so far as to having their bridesmaids agree not to gain or lose any weight before their day, making them have the same hairdo's, nails, pedi's, etc. All that is the thing of the past people.What truly matters is how you treat your bridal party -the people whom are going to be the ones there for you on your day!
I think that was totally uncalled for, the way she treated you. I am not sure how long you have been friends but someone who is going to demand you to do things, might be a friendship to start questioning your self about.... hope things work it self out
