Bridesmaid dropped out!!

Shaleesa, on August 14, 2018 at 12:00 PM Posted in Planning 0 12
With literally 45 days left until the big day, I am dealing with what I thought was a “ friend” dropping out of my wedding! I’m not sure of why, if I did something to make her angry. She delivered the news to me via text message this morning. I don’t have time to fill what was her spot and to top it off she pulled her daughter out as well, which was the flower girl. Help!?!?!?!

    Have you asked her why? Or tried calling her?

    I'm sorry this happened. Perhaps it was a financial reason? Don't worry about replacing her or her daughter since to do so is considered rude not only to them but to the next person you ask. Sides don't need to be even (mine weren't). I suggest reaching out to her to see if she is okay and if there is anything you can do as a friend.

    Yes I did! All she said was that I accommodated someone else in the wedding with a shoe choice. To me, that’s still no reason to drop out

    I'm so sorry you're going through this I have more time but I had a bridesmaid drop out too and it sucks! Maybe you can rearrange the processional so it doesn't look like she is missing? Can someone else be a flower girl or could you skip it? I'm so sorry, I hope everything works out!

    Both of their dresses have been purchased so I don’t think it’s financial at all. It was so random to me because we were just looking for places to host the bachelorette party.

    Was it just a shoe style? Was it something financially to do with the shoe?

    Sometimes emotions run high around weddings. maybe it's something the two of you can work out.

    I am so sorry you're going through this, it's not acceptable! I wouldn't worry about filling her spot, there is nothing wrong with uneven wedding parties. Can you go without a flower girl?

    I had a bridemaid drop out the night before my wedding ,at my rehearsal. She thought my wedding was the next weekend and planned a trip the day of my wedding. We also had a grooms men drop out a few days before that due to work shedual change, so i asked my little brother if he wanted to join sense i hadnt asked him sense he lived so far away and i had extra bow ties and he agreed. Then the orginal grooms men quit his job to come to our wedding so we had a huge mess to deal with the day befor our wedding 😂. Sucks she dropped out, but if i could figure that out you im sure you got this!

    Listen, if she dropped out like that then you might be better off without her and it makes you wonder what type of friendship the two of you really had. I'm sorry but you said this was over shoes?? You need to sit down and talk to her and work this out otherwise you are losing someone over something that really doesnt matter.

    Exactly. That sounds extremely irrational.

    Sounds like this person is not really your good friend, I sincerely hope that its not because of shoes. Maybe there is an underlying issue there? But anyone who is your close friend should not be thinking of THEMSELVES on your wedding day. If you've reached out to try to smooth things over and she is unresponsive that is her problem not yours.

    Wow. A text...over shoes? I think you dodged a bullet not having this person involved in your wedding.
