Bridesmaid dress for friend’s wedding

Ashley, on April 11, 2020 at 4:45 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5
One of my best friends is getting married this fall. She has been super open with me about plans throughout her process. She wants all of us bridesmaids to pick our own dresses. The only requirements are that they are floor length and one of her colors. She doesn’t want any of us having the same color, though. I have tried showing her dresses that I am considering more than once. I’ve asked her what she thinks and what color may work since her MOH and sister get first pick. When I do, she stops responding to me. She just doesn’t answer. She could tell me that she doesn’t like them or that she doesn’t know about the color, but she just ignores me instead. At this point, I know which dress I really want but I can’t buy it without her approval because I don’t want to be out that money if she ends up hating it or the color. It’s all driving me nuts.

    If she doesn't want to answer you then I wouldn't plan on being in the wedding. It is really inconsiderate of her to expect you to have a dress but then ignore you. I'm sorry this is happening.

    I would just wait until MOH and sister find their dresses. Tell bride your plan and to let you know when they have their dresses picked out so you can pick out yours. Or you can start a chat with all of the BMs to figure out what dresses to wear. Or if anyone has decided on a color. If it gets down to the wire and you don't have time to get a great dress, get a hideous one and just tell her that you tried to communicate with her.

    As far as I know, they’ve already picked. I just don’t know what they look like and she won’t tell me. The other bridesmaids aren’t helpful or good at communicating. Only one other has helped with anything so far. (I’m in charge of the pre-wedding parties because the MOH lives far away.) It’s all super frustrating.

    I would be honest with her. Tell her something like "hey, I'm sure you have tons going on, but I really want to make sure I get my dress ordered and set for your wedding. I don't want to make the decision without your approval, but I feel like you haven't been very responsive."

    Has she officially asked you to be a bridesmaid?

    I agree with Hannah. Be honest with her. Hannah's working is perfect.
