Matron of honor

I originally was getting married in March of 2020 and asked my best friend of 20 years to be my matron of honor and I had 2 other friends as bridesmaids. My fiance has a new job opportunity that involves us moving from Florida to Texas this July. Six weeks ago we decided to tie the knot before we moved So we also decided to do a small wedding and have no wedding party. I told my 2 bridesmaids and they were fine with it and also relieved financially. I told my matron of honor(best friend) and she said ok. But then we realized we still needed to have 2 people stand for us and decided to just have my fiance's brother and wife be best man and matron of honor. My best friend and I had a little tiff right before we made our decision so I thought it wouldn't of bothered her that my soon to be sister in law would be matron of honor. I will asmit, I did a poor job in discussing it with my best friend and take full responsibility for that but none the less she is hurt and I have apologized but now she wont come to the wedding. I don't know how to make this up to her and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

Can you go visit her and try to spend some one on one time in person?

Hi Louise! I'm so sorry that this has happened with your friend. I can tell that you meant no harm and obviously didn't mean to upset her.
I think the best thing you can do is reach out to her and try to get talking to each other again. I know it's difficult when she is hurting but at the end of the day, you are her best friend too. I'm sure she doesn't want to lose you over this situation and hopefully, once you give her a little time to come to terms with it, she will want to talk it out with you too.
