Bridesmaid got the wrong material dress - what should i do?

Yeah, that's really obvious. See if she can exchange it for the right one, she has time. The chiffon is more flattering anyway.

I would see if she can return it. You can really tell

Yes, you can tell the difference between the materials. However, I actually think it looks better with a little variation! It looks more interesting having different materials/texture/sheen to bridesmaids dresses. Just my personal opinion though

My MOH wore that same satin dress and my other girls were in chiffon! I didn’t mind because she’s MOH so she could stand out a bit anyway. In person you could really tell the difference and indoors you can too but in the outdoor photos with the lighting you can’t tell as much. Idk what I would do if it had been a different bridesmaid, not MOH. Just attaching my photos so you can see how it came out for us and maybe help you decide if you mind how it looks or not. MOH is second from right in the first (outdoor) picture, and on the far right in second (indoor) picture.

There is a difference but I also like variation among materials. I would have asked one of the other girls to get a satin one to kinda even it out. Since everyone else is going with chiffon, I’d probably ask her to return hers.

I personally would not have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. And if they're wearing different styles of dresses anyways I don't think it's a big deal since her dress will look different from each of the other girls because it's literally different

In the end its your wedding and if you want all your girls to match then you should let them know. At this point I would just reach out to the girl with the satin dress and frame it that you noticed there was a bigger difference between the colors/materials than you thought when you were at the store yesterday and is there any way she could call and switch the material. I think its understandable and it doesn't seem like something that would be too difficult to fix.

I notice the difference. I also though don’t find it to be too dramatic I think in different lighting it might look much closer

I would see if she could exchange it but honestly while it is a annoying no one will care. The day is about you. I do not feel anyone noticed me as a bridesmaid lol.

She can only reorder the dress if you give her enough time.

Guidelines for my MOH were general color family, floor length, and no shiny material. Personally I think materials with shimmer look cheap unless they are perfectly tailored and steamed. To me the satin dress next to the chiffon is distracting. I would request that she reorder the dress. David's probably has the most options in chiffon so she should still be able to find a style she likes.

Yes see if she can change its a big difference

They look the same color to me just different material and shinier. I know I had the same freak out with my sister LOL I offered to pay/return for a material closer to chiffon like mesh but she had no problem doing it herself. If she were MoH I think it'd be okay.

I would tell her that the other girls chose a different material so she knows that hers will look slightly different and then leave it up to her if she is comfortable with that or not.
I barely see a difference, no one is going to notice. It’s definitely not “really obvious” keep in mind the one dress needs to be steamed which is probably why it doesn’t look as good. The colors are the same. If it’s a huge deal to you than I’d tell her to exchange it, but I personally wouldn’t be bothered by it. So that’s a call only you can make as the bride, how much does it bother you?

I second this. Tell her you didn’t realize until you all went back, and put them side by side. She should be able to exchange it. I’m a bit surprised she didn’t give you the chance for feedback as well.
