Bridesmaid

For the reception “party”**

I would be totally fine with it. Whatever makes her more comfortable!

It wouldn't bother me.

With all that goes into choosing your bridesmaids individually and finding the girls dresses, hairstyling, shoes, makeup, jewelry for some reason it’s not sitting well with me for her wanting to change after the ceremony when there is still videography and photos to be taken during the reception.

Nope... Suck it up and deal with it. You agreed to be a brides maid that means wearing what ur told.

I wanted all of my bridal party to be comfortable. After the first half of the reception the guys took off their bow ties and it was so much more relaxed.

I'd be perfectly ok with it! As long as they're comfortable and having a good time.

View Quoted Comment Well From what I know her intentions are to change into a much more figure fitting dress for Looks. This isnt much about comfort unfortunately ):

As long as they don't want to wear pjs at the reception, I want everyone to be comfy.

View Quoted Comment My first wedding my then sil completely altered the brides maid dress to the point that she couldn't bend down to pick something up with out a boob and a butt poping out. Immediately after the ceremony she changed into an tiny tube top and mini skirt... Idk which was worse the way she altered the dress or what she changed into... Either way she looked stupid and EVERYONE talked about how tacky and disrespectful she was.

I can see where you’re coming from...it’s a bit distasteful as a bridesmaid to make that request. In the past, I’ve worn bridesmaids dresses I wasn’t thrilled about but at the end of the day, it wasn’t about me, it was about the bride and groom! Have you told her how you felt?

View Quoted Comment I definitely agree with you!! This would not sit well with me either!!

I was once that bridesmaid that changed dress because I hated my dress. I would be fine with it as long as it was after speeches and all was done. Fortunately I didn’t have this issue since I had my girls picked their dresses on their own with whatever style and budget they want so this guarantee they picked something they like and not want to change from it. I really like that they didn’t change but I wouldn’t be mad if they did.
Now if I was a bridesmaid again I don’t think I would change. Don’t see the point to do this when all pictures are done now.

My sister (bridesmaids) actually asked me if she could change after ceremony, pictures, reception intro, into something that would be easier to dance in. I’m perfectly fine with it and gave her the ok, and then let my other bridesmaids know that if they wanted to changer afterwards, they could as well. The kicker is my bridesmaids, including my sister, all chose their own bridesmaids dresses. I gave them a color and length to stick to and they ran their choices by me. So I had to laugh that she chose her dress and then still wanted to change, lol. But honestly, it doesn’t bother me one bit. I want her to enjoy the day as well.

View Quoted Comment Bottom line is if it bothers you then you should tell her that. It doesn’t matter why it bothers you and it doesn’t matter that people will tell you it shouldn’t matter. Be honest with your bm

What the heck?! I don’t know why people are so nice hahaha this is YOUR day and this is YOUR vision! I understand if the dress is uncomfortable on her but she should have said something BEFORE you purchased the dresses.. it’s a unity thing and then she just wants to change into a dress to look like a guest? It would defiantly not settle well with me. I think it’s okay to tell her no 💁🏻‍♀️

After the pictures were taken go for it as long as it is suitable. Not too short and not too exposing.

I couldn’t care less.

As long as pictures and main stuff are all over, i’m all for it. At that point, no need to be in the dress.

Ahh, gotcha. I think everyone will be much more focused on you and your future spouse! Even if she does wear something form fitting, most people aren't going to notice
