moh and bridesmaids won't do the one thing i asked them to do...

For quick shipment and styles that are flattering for/available in all sizes, Azazie is your best option. A number of dresses are listed as “ready to ship” so they will be mailed immediately. They are also the least expensive at$89 for most styles, considering it’s a one time wear dress that most will toss out or donate to Goodwill the next day.


The dresses from other online stores such as Lulus and similar are not the greatest quality and they don’t fit anyone larger than a slender frame. Even with the “plus size” option .

I wouldn't say you are in the wrong. I only have 3 bridesmaid and still I had a hard time with my bridesmaids dresses as well. I gave them the flexibility to choose the at least 3 dresses at a price point that everyone was comfortable with. The only rule is that I had the final say on color and style. Only 1 kept switching up styles and changed her mind, or chose a dress that didn't fit my idea. However, as my bridesmaids they respected my decision because they understood that it is my wedding and my happiness meant more.

That's super frustrating, and I'm sorry you're going through that. Azazie is a super affordable option compared to other places I've seen. I don't think it would be wrong of you to ask them to step down as the one thing they're required to do as bridesmaids is to buy a dress that you ask them to wear. It sounds like you were being totally reasonable about it and they had initially agreed to buy the dresses you asked about. That being said, there's going to be consequences to doing that. Could you maybe go with them to pick the dresses to make sure the color matches what you want?

I don't think you're wrong either.

azazie is actually really reasonable especially when they have their sample sales it gets REALLY cheap. i have a friend who was a bridesmaid where the bride specifically wanted them to get all long dresses of a certain color on azazie too and they all did it.

my only thing is maybe you can at least SEE what their rental shop options look like and if it really does match the azazie color then maybe it'll be ok?

If you all agreed that you liked the dress color and it was within their budget, I’m at a loss why they wouldn’t go with that option. Or at least not come to you with a reason why they can’t do it. Azazie is one of the cheaper options out there AND in my opinion so much easier and less time consuming than having to go to a store? It comes right to you and you can try on/return from the comfort of your home. Add on to that that the colors and potentially won’t match, that they went behind your back, and that’s the only thing you asked of them? I’d be fuming. I’d 100% tell them it’s fine if they can’t order online (although in my opinion the way it’s been handled by them, it’s not really fine…) but that you’d prefer everything be uniform and that they should just attend as guests.

Aww, I'm sorry that you're going through that. I think you're being fair and I wish they communicated that to you from the beginning.

Not wrong at all especially since they didn't even offer to help you! It's wrong of them to accept those roles and not Even respect your small requests

Yes, exactly. I allowed the MOH and bridesmaid to choose the color of their dresses and then I paid for them. One went to seamstress to get the design changed, and the other refused to come for fittings, then complained afterwards that the dress did not fit right, and changed into a jeans skirt and t-shirt after the ceremony. I should have paid attention to their lack of cooperation prior to the wedding and taken this writer's advice (Michelle, above) because I came to realize that neither really wanted to be in the wedding. I was so afraid of being a Bridezilla that I basically had a hodge-podge wedding party that upset me and confused the guests. After a certain point, simply say what she suggested and hope that they attend as guests, and enjoy the guests who want to share your special day.
