Bridesmaid from Hell

Boo! I am sorry =\ ....I really hope this works out. I wish I had advice or something... =( I will say it again......boo!

Scream and or cry all you want! I would too if this happened to me. Can you and your OH talk to her?

3 bridesmaids have dropped out bc of this dress? I need to see this thing!

I am sorry that your having this problem- I have been having soooo many problems with my bridesmaids and maid of honor. No one has been helping me and all they do is all fight with each other which causes so much stress on me. Its been a nightmare. I was better off not having any bridesmaids or maid of honor LOL

Maybe it's not the cost. Maybe it's the dress? If three bridesmaids don't want to wear it...

I agree with ItsGoodToBeKing...I need to see this dress! :-)

Don't fret Anna. If it's possible, take the stress off of yourself and do not replace the bridesmaid at all. This alleviates the issue with the dress. Don't let what is suppose to be a special day have you stressed out due to insensitive bridesmaids. I always recommend that brides choose bridesmaids that they absolutely know will not bring them drama. At the first hint of drama, boot them. Sounds harsh I know, but to be in someone's wedding is an honor and it should be treated as such. When I do my Meet & Greets with wedding parties, I stress the fact that the wedding is about the bride and groom, not the bridesmaids or groomsmen. Put your foot down and relieve the stress. Those who care about you and your upcoming nuptials will do everything possible to comply with your wishes. Remember that the world does not stop revolving because a bridesmaid has gone crazy. Take a deep breath and know that your day will be wonderful with or without them. To wear a dress that's completely different from everyone else's doesn't seem to be something you're agreeing to. Stick to your guns and tell her as politely as you can that her services are no longer needed. Relax, Relate and Release and have a fantastic wedding! Good luck!

I have had a similar problem with a bridesmaid who may no longer be a friend. I am removing her today. Unsure how to go about this. She sent me an abrupt text about the dress, which she purchased 3 wks ago and just realized this past Saturday that it would cost an equal amount ($70 dress on amazon & $80 at her dry cleaners to hem). She never mentioned in the last 3 weeks so I assumed it had been taken care of. Yes if I had been in her shoes it would be offensive, but I would have also shopped around. Also, I did not set a specific dress for all the bridesmaids. She was last minute so that was the only one we could find in that color range that would ship in time that wasn’t outrageous in price. She refuses to try and go to another tailor to check pricing for hemming. Or do it herself. She is willing to pay more for a dress that shows more (which I will not approve of) in a different color range). I’m just going to cut her out and have 3 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen. It’s 2 weeks from the wedding and sad that she had ample opportunity to bow out. I am not upset that she is bowing out. Im upset that she is bowing out so late in the game and her apology pins everything on me. So basically not an apology. Sorry for the vent. But you’re not alone.
