Bridesmaid's problems! What do I do?
In a perfect world, all of your bridesmaids are supposed to be there for you. They help you through gown fittings, the Bridal Shower, cold feet, ranting about expenses, etc. etc. etc. But sometimes that support system breaks down. This blog will help you navigate through the muddy waters of bridesmaid’s meltdowns. And don’t think they won’t happen to you. They will. This will help you be ready for it!
Problem #1: One of your bridesmaids (or 2 or 3 for that matter) hates the dress that you picked out. What do you do? You obviously love these girls, or you wouldn’t have chosen them for such an honor, so you don’t want to lose them as friends during the most important time of your life. So, if you aren’t totally in love with the dress, see if you can find a dress that everyone at least likes. But sometimes that’s easier said than done. Another solution is everyone having a different style dress but in the same color and fabric. This can really be very beautiful. Just please enlist the expertise of the bridal sales people who will steer you the way that it would look the best. But in the end, remember, it is your wedding and your decision. You can say this dress or no dress, and only you know how far you can go with that without losing friends. My suggestion…always try compromise first. You have many years after that one day that you will be friends with these girls, so try to work it out amicably.
Problem #2: One of your bridesmaids is knock out gorgeous with a body to boot. You are insecure. What do you do? Okay, this one is really easy. First of all, you are the bride and all eyes will be on you…PROMISE! But, if you are really insecure about this, put the girls in muted colors and not so revealing dresses. I’ve seen it done before and the bridesmaids are not the wiser. Just remember, white makes a woman glow, so you really have nothing to worry about.
Problem #3: You overhear your bridesmaid saying how they don’t have enough money for this dress. Be sensitive. They are only going to wear the dress for a few hours, and probably will never wear it again. Try to compromise. See if you can find a dress that you love that is less expensive. Also, if the dress is pricey, make sure the color will work with black shoes so that will save them there. And, make their bridesmaid’s gift a piece of jewelry so that everyone will match and it won’t cost them anything. Speaking of bridesmaid’s jewelry, you do know that my website is not just about unique wedding favors…although we are about unique wedding favors, there is so much more! Here is one of the sets that is perfect for a gift from you and makes the bridesmaids look very uniform without costing your wedding party any money.
Well, that’s your first 3 solutions to problems with bridesmaids. There will be 3 more tomorrow that will help aid you when these problems arise. Just remember, life happens…but it all passes in time.
Much happiness coming your way,
