bm has problem with hmua 6 days out

MrsR314, on September 4, 2018 at 1:40 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 8
We are 5/6 days out (haven’t looked at my count down in a while lol) and one of my bms has now decided she thinks me letting everyone choose hair and makeup for themselves is an inconvienece for her. I said simple formal style I don’t care if it’s up or down. And makeup should be neutral and natural. Other than that go at it. And she just berated me for a half an hour on how if she had known this before hand she wouldn’t have gone with my h and MUA Beacuase ITS “too expensive” to not have a choice and structure for that amount of money. I said you didn’t have to do hand m-up with the same people you could’ve gone elsewhere and just shown up to the ceremony and just be happy.


this is the first time she’s ever asked about hair and makeup decisions and now that it’s too late to change things for her she’s backed me into a corner so now I look like the bad guy for making her come up with an idea for her hair and makeup. I’m sorry you don’t like choices. I offered to give suggestions and she shut me down and continued to complain.


im at my wits end. I really need to just get over this but it’s so hard. I let them choose for this reason. Because I knew someone would complain if I told everyone to do the same thing. This is how dress shopping went too. “Well you should’ve just picked one dress and told whoever didn’t like it to suck it.” No I wanted options so no one felt uncomfortable and all I got was more berating on how this isn’t normal.


Ugh.... help me not lose my sanity

    You can't satisfy everyone. Let her be annoyed, it's not your problem. Getting frustrated won't help either of you.

    I know I just can’t help but be annoyed because I said they could choose what they wanted so I didn’t have people complain about what I made them look like. I I gave them infinite choices and somehow that was still the wrong one hahah It’s just so ironic and I think that’s what upsets me hahah

    You have made an effort to respectfully treat them as adults, capable of seeing to their own clothing and grooming choices. Unfortunately, this one is behaving like a whiny little kid, waiting til the last minute, then wanting mommy to do it. You can't win. And it probably would not help at this point that to say that now that she is over 20, or whatever, you weren't expecting her to act like a five year old. You can't say it, but thinking it should cheer you up a little. 😊

    It was very nice of you to allow them choices given its your wedding. Unfortunately, we can't make everyone happy. When the day comes you enjoy yourself and let the stress go.

    You will be fine. Let her whine and think of how happy you will be marrying your love of your life.

    This exactly. I know it's hard to ignore, but I'd just tell her "I'm sorry you feel this way. Here are some different styles, you can pick what you like and modify it. You'll look gorgeous no matter what!" And then shut down any further complaining from her.

    Sounds like she is complaining just to complain. I'm having similar issues with my FSIL and as frustrated and annoyed it makes me there is nothing you can do about it. Just remember even if it sounds selfish at the end of the day that day is about you, not her.

    Hi there! I'm sorry that you had to go through this with your bridesmaid. As others mentioned, sometimes you can't please everyone but you definitely did the right thing by offering suggestions!
