Bridesmaid Dress wrong color! HELP!!

What about adding a blush sash to the white dresses, that way it looks cohesive?

Yea, I like Lizz's solution. Tie in some blush here and there. Even in the bouquets would help. But she will stand out a little.

If the one in blush is your MOH than problem solved lol. If not you could always add a sash like Liz said.

I'm doing something similar but having the girls send me pics before they actually purchase.

She shouldnt feel weird wearing white if that's what you requested. I would ask her to get another dress - its your day and you tried to make it easy on them by letting them pick out their own style.

Maybe I'm just kind of burnt out so I automatically go to telling her to do it the way you requested...but that's how I'm feeling right about now.

Sash is a good idea if you want to avoid confrontation.

Do any of the other girls have a non custom dress they could return/exchange for a different color? Might be easier?

What about blush color shoes or jewelry?

Maybe I'm a bridezilla but I would tell her she needs to get a new dress, in the right colour.

Mrs. T, I don't think you're a bridezilla! Why didn't she just get the requested color?

She got to pick her own dress, the least she could have done is got the color you requested and if she felt uncomfortable she should have mentioned that to you before purchasing the dress.

I love the sash idea tho if she can not return/exchange it

Wow! Thank you ladies for all the quick feedback! =) You're right, if she was the MOH it would be perfect! actually mentioned the situation to my MOH and she seemed super surprised my sister didn't get white and also bummed that the color wasn't initially blush because she loves it! She said she really wanted to get a blush gown vs white.... -_- So I think if my sister wears blush and my MOH is in white with the other girls it might seem like a slap in the face. I do like the idea of a blush sash for the other girls, but I really love the solid color look and think some of the styles would look awkward with something around the waist (empire silhouette).

I brought up getting a blush dress to one of the girls who I know didn't order custom, but she is worried blush doesn't look good on her skin tone (she's asian) and prefers off-white. I don't think it's fair to ask the other girls to return dresses when they just did exactly what I wanted. Guess I just need to suck it up and tell my sister she's going to be the only one in pink. I just feel so bad because she's the sweetest person and has been incredible about helping with all the planning...

I'm going to join the minority vote on this one. I really think she needs to just get a white/ivory dress. The fact the rest of the bridal party had the option and still chose to go with the colors you requested, says something. She needs to get the color you requested.

My mom feels bad on top of it because she helped my sister order the dress. Eeek! I thought it would be so simple to give them a color and let them pick... I don't want anyone to feel bad! I don't want anyone to feel like the odd (pink) one out either tho

AGREED with JC!!

Ashley, SUCH a good idea to have them send pics before ordering... Would have saved so much trouble.

Hindsight is 20/20. I'm sure there are tons of things that will come up that I wish I would have done.

If you want everyone in the same color, I really think you should be honest with your sister. Good luck!

Sorry, but it sounds like your sister has you pegged as a push over. She really needs to suck it up and purchase a white/off-white/ivory dress. Its your wedding. It will be too weird with her being just a BM in a different dress color. Everyone will assume she's the MOH. Seems sneaky to me to custom order a dress she knew she couldn't return.

I will! this was my first post & it's so great to get other bride's opinions! Thanks again =)

If blush doesn't clash with the rest of your wedding colors (assuming you have others) and you can incorporate it into the flowers/accessories of the other girls then I think that's fine. Kind of strange that your mom and sister wouldn't have thought to come to you first but if it keeps the peace and you're ok with it I say let it go.

JC, I'm so sorry to hear you hate their dresses! I totally understand wanting them to be happy with what they are wearing, but that seems really weird that they would get something after you specifically didn't approve... What don't you like about them? (pics?) Is there any way to alter them to your liking? Of course you care about what they're wearing on your big day! I've been doing the same thing..trying to tell myself that it doesn't matter what my sister wears, I'm just glad she's going to be there standing up with me because I love her and she's amazing. Maybe i'll just laugh about it in 20 yrs that I was bothered by a little pink dress. Who knows? You're right though, if there's a simple way to change it, do it. Is there any hope for your girls' dresses?

Well if its too late, I say the sash, bouquets, and blush statement jewelry could help soften the clash. But since its your mom and sister, maybe they could bite the bullet and own their choice by having to purchase a new dress. If you can afford it, maybe offer to pay half for the new one? No, you shouldn't have to, but with the right eye, you could definitely find an affordable white/ivory dress for $50. $25 each is totally doable. Worth it in the long run IMO if you're going to look at those pictures forever and have it bother you! In fact, nordstrom has a really cute dress right now ($88 tho): http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/a-drea-illusion-yoke-lace-dress/3716441

Honestly I would have her get a new dress - kind of risky when you tell them to pick any color of white/ivory, etc. Otherwise you will just have to let her wear the blush, she sort of followed your rules, blush is considered a shade of white in the bridal world.
