Bridesmaid disappointment

Just a little vent so I’m sorry! My bridesmaids wanted to take a trip and go to Kleinfelds for me to try on dresses, I made the appointment and confirmed with everyone that it works for them and everything. The trip to Kleinfelds is tomorrow. Since Wednesday, all but one bridesmaid cancelled on me, and the one bridesmaid who is coming is my future sister in law. I can’t cancel now since it’s already confirmed and I’ll lose out on $100 deposit to reserve the spot. Of course my mom will be there and that is really the most important, and my FMIL and FSIL. It just really sucks that out of 6 only one is coming. I get it though, life happens and things come up. I’m still just upset and needed to vent!

I totally get that! Try not to focus on it too much (easier said than done). The hard part about weddings is realizing that it's really only important to you and your fiancé. Others are more than happy to support you, but I've noticed that sometimes (at least with me) they don't seem as interested as me.

It might actually work out better for you. I took all 5 bridesmaids and a couple family members to my first bridal appointment and with all the opinions it was super overwhelming!! I ended up crying and not because I found the dress. I found myself “loving” dresses knowing deep down I’d never walk down the isle in it, because they liked it. If the most important people are going definitely go and enjoy every moment of it! If you end up finding THE dress say yes and make another appointment to say yes again when all your girls can make it. 😊

This! I only took my mom and sister (MOH) dress shopping with me. It would have been too overwhelming to have 6-7 more people there with my FMIL, other bridesmaids, possibly his grandma, too many opinions. I will extend an invite to my bridesmaids to attend my last fitting if they want to but at this point I want their reaction when they see me the day of.

I’ve brought myself to come to terms with this! It sucks but it will be for the better to only have a few people with me.

I’m finally getting over it! My fiancé was super supportive last night when I had my melt down, you know “is it me or something I did.” It sucks but I know they’ll come around for dress fittings when I finally find the one

I know it’s sad but it might be better. Big groups are more stressful. Too many opinions.

I had my mom and MOH Tbh, it was a wonderful experience with just them. At first I was kind of bummed we couldn’t all get a day that worked for everyone. I live an hour away from all of them, three of the girls are away in college, one lives in another state 1000 miles away. The week of the other 2 had something come up with their kids- they go to the same school- so it was just the three of us. I wound up loving the first dress I tried- ( I did try others to make sure). It wasn’t the way I had always pictured buying a dress but it wound up being a wonderful calm perfect experience.

I totally understand but I went to Kleinfelds and believe they have a max amount on the people anyway. Let your dress be a surprise. NO ONE has been my dress except my sister, mom and grandma. The day of will be a shock to everyone

I’m happy to hear your FH was supportive and I agree the more people the more opinions the harder it is to find a dress trying to get everyone to agree

I agree that your mom, FMIL & FSIL are the perfect group! Relax as this was probably meant to be and enjoy your dress shopping experience.

Oh man 6 is a lot though to take in addition to everyone else. So it's kind of nice you have a smaller entourage for that. Less opinions can be a good thing for this. But I totally get what you mean. I got kinda disappointed when not all my bridesmaids could come to stuff too

I completely understand how you feel. When I was looking for a venue, I invited one of my BMs and we planned on a day she was off so that there were no mistakes but the day before, she chose to pick up an extra shift so she could work with a guy she liked. It ended up being just my mom and I and that was fun regardless but I was livid that she blew me off for that. (SHE WAS MY ROOMATE TOO) needless to say things didn't workout with her.
