Bridesmaids struggles

Hi ladies. I’m getting married on October 24th 2020. All of my bridesmaids have been great about getting their dresses. Except for 1. She is the only one who doesn’t have her dress. When I called David’s bridal, they said they don’t have a record of her Order. Now that either means she didn’t actually order it. Or she ordered online. She won’t tell me if she ordered it online and she won’t share the order number with me so I can find out where it is. It kinda makes me feel like she doesn’t wanna be in the wedding because she isn’t letting me know anything m. She won’t answer my texts. What should I do about this?

I wouldn't do anything. If she has the dress on the day, she's a bridesmaid. If not, she's a guest. There is still plenty of time for her to order her dress now for it to arrive on time. David's Bridal always gives really long estimates, but they usually arrive in a month. With all the other things to worry about regarding your wedding, for your own sanity, I would just let your bridesmaids be. They know what they have to purchase, so trust that they'll purchase it.

If she doesn't have the dress with ghe dress is due/required she simply just wont be in the wedding. Its your big day and you will have alot of other important things to consider you know.

I would just prepare yourself (at least mentally) that she may not be in the wedding if she doesn’t have the dress.

You don't need to do anything. It sounds like you've already asked her/reminded her about it; she's an adult and is aware she needs to get the dress, so that's where your responsibility ends.

I agree with pp - you already reminded her and she still has time to get it. as long as she gets it by your wedding it's fine. if she doesn't then she can sit out. it is super annoying, i know to have to remind people to do something like that - my bridesmaid didn't get her gown til 3 days before my wedding AND it needed alterations but at the end of the day she got it and that's that

We’re getting married 9/12/20 and neither of my MOHs have bought their dresses yet. I have better things to stress about and they both know what they need to get so I’m not going to worry about it. They’re grown adults. If she doesn’t have the right dress, she obviously didn’t want to be in the wedding.

Everyone said it best. I will says as a bride and a bridesmaid I have dealt with David's Bridal many times and every time my dress came in earlier than expected. My dress was supposed to be in July 3rd and it came in two days ago so you still have time. Like others said do not pester her anymore. Either she is just being stagnant or maybe she does not have the heart to tell you no. Are you having a rehearsal because you should know by then if she has it or not and if she doesn't then she can attend as a guest. It sucks but I would not let that stress you out in regards to your special day as you have other ladies that got themselves together for you.

It seems odd to be tracking her order. If she doesn't get the dress, she won't be in the wedding. I'm sure she will figure it out. I told my bridesmaids one time where to get their dresses and how long it took to order. I didn't check in after that and all 9 of them had a dress on our wedding day.
