Bridesmaids not having their dress

That's the most sensible thing to do - tell them just be a guest. one of my bridesmaids got her dress three days before my wedding AND it needed tailoring. so it was all done technically in time but that's also cutting it way too close knowing they had plenty of time.

Maybe they are waiting for holiday discounts...but your wedding is right after all the holiday hubbub, so I definitely understand your concern. Hopefully they get them on Cyber Monday and that will give them enough time. Good luck.

I think Azazie only takes about a month, at least that's what I've seen the girls on here say. I think you still have plenty of time!

So I have this problem too. I’m getting married in November and one of my bridesmaid doesn’t have her dress yet. 🤔

Tell them if they don’t have the dress on the day of then they will be a guest but I wouldn’t give them an arbitrary deadline. All 10 of my girls ordered from Azazie and a few of them didn’t order until a month before my wedding and it was fine.

Please stop worrying about this, they have plenty of time. Leave them alone and treat them like adults. They need the dress by your wedding day, not an arbitrary date you decide beforehand.

I don't think it's about an arbitrary time frame though. It's not as if the bridesmaid could get it the day of the wedding and it would be fine. As most people on weddingwire agree, the only thing a bridesmaid's role includes is to get the dress and show up to the wedding. However if the bridesmaid fails to get the dress it changes things that would need fixed WELL in advance of the wedding date, that might change the head table, the procession, the program, the amount of bouquets, bridesmaid gifts, hair and makeup appointments ... etc. What it comes down to is inconsideration. If all you did was say please order by this time so you will have the dress in plenty of time for the wedding, that's not unreasonable, that's been responsible. If they can't do that it doesn't sound like they're able to be adult about their agreement to be your bridesmaid and need to step down.

I am getting married on January 11th, 2020, and my bridesmaids just ordered their dresses today from Azazie. As long as they're ordering normal sizes, it shouldn't take long for them to receive the dress... for my bridesmaids, they told me they're supposed to receive their dresses in the mail in mid-October. Your bridesmaids still time, but I understand why you're stressed out.

View Quoted Comment I completely agree with you on this. If they are given a date to order the dress then they should kindly respect the brides wishes. The dress is a very important part of the wedding & it helps not to stress when they have it early.

I understand the concern. My wedding is 12/31/19 and I asked my bridesmaids to order by July 15. Most did and still don't have their dress yet. So my concern is the ones that haven't ordered yet when will their dress come??? You have to take in consideration if something is wrong with the dress or doesn't fit it will have to be sent back. So I told those that haven't ordered they must be ordered by August 15. Those that didn't order by that second deadline, I told them unfortunately they could no longer be in the bridal party. I told them in January that they needed to ordered by July 15 so they had plenty of time to order and then gave those that didn't an extra month. 2 girls have had to send their dress back and here comes the long waiting game for a new dress to come. So unfortunately I had to let some go

It seems you've asked various versions of this question several times in recent weeks and many have told you, based on their experience with Azazie, that there is likely plenty of time to order the dresses. However, this is clearly something that is bothering you, so it might be better for you to just cut them now so you can stop worrying about it. It seems like you'll be a lot happier to have it settled. Good luck!

Can you get them all together for a “dress ordering party”? It’s dumb & ridiculous, but maybe if you are all in a room together with wine & snacks, they won’t be able to come up with excuses.
My girls ordered their dresses from Azazie & delivery time varies. One of my girls got her dress in a month. Another girls too almost 3.

My whole wedding has been thrown together in about two months (my wedding is November 2) and my bridesmaids ordered their dresses from Azazie about four days ago. I'm a bit nervous but it should be here by about two weeks before the wedding. One did hers custom sized and the other did a standard size and will be getting it altered if needed. I only ordered my wedding dress about two weeks before that so I'm just leaving it in the hands of fate. Fate, however, loves stressing me out so I'm sure every dress will arrive on the latest possible day in the estimated delivery window. But at the end of the day, if one bridesmaid has to pick up her dress to walk it's not the end of the world and I'd still want her there.

However, specific to your question, I would give them a deadline to get them ordered by. Since Azazie has the showroom feature just tell them the day and that all dresses have to be ordered within twenty four hours. Make sure they have plenty of warning; maybe make the day a month out so everyone has a couple of paychecks to save up if they need to. If they don't then I would say you'd be justified in asking them to attend as a guest instead. But you definitely have plenty of time left because Azazie only takes 3-4 weeks depending on the dress.

They have til the 2nd week of November to order their dresses then. Don't panic its not from David's Bridal. I was spazing out too because my girls didn't have their dresses and my wedding is 10/19/2019 they just got their dresses 2-3 weeks ago the guys got theirs last week on top of sending one back and ordering another one. This was all ordered on Amazon too. I was clocking too. Only one guy doesn't have no money so at this point we booted him out which I need to let the DJ know.



Overall, if they don't have their stuff by the beginning the second week of December than they can be a guest.

I reminded my bridesmaids once to order their dresses. I told them 14 months out, I had 9 BM ordering from Azazie. Some ordered 10 months early, some ordered 3 months out. All dresses arrived on time and were fine. If they didn't order a dress, they wouldn't be a BM. It was pretty simple.

Getting our bridesmaid dresses from Azazie too. One of my bridesmaids ordered her dress today. The wedding is in 6 weeks. Azazie does not guarantee she'll get it in time. So that's fun. I feel your pain and hope it worked for you!

View Quoted Comment How was the fit of the dresses, did they order their regular size or used azazie measurement?

One girl did custom sizing and she said it was a little big, the rest all said they fit true to size.
