    You need to talk to her. Did you allow the girls to choose the type of dress style they want? Nothing wrong with the bride at least choosing the color but if they are buying the dress I would let them choose their style.

    If you aren't OK with changing the colors, tell her no. It is your wedding, and you get to decide on the colors. If she's trying to find cheaper dresses because other ones are too expensive, maybe sit down and look for cheaper options that come in the color you specify. But she doesn't get to decide on your wedding colors.

    Wish.com? Nip that in the bud. Most stuff that comes from there is Chinese knockoffs that that take forever to ship and is not what you ordered. Order locally such as Azazie/Cocomelody/David's

    I would not let her order from wish? If she is really looking at just trying to save some money there are some other cheap stores or you can wait for a sale if you have the time. If it’s in your budget maybe offer to pay for her dress or even half. I would set it straight that wish is not ok and she needs to choose the right color from an approved store.

    Wish is terrible. Bad quality. Very often your order never even shows up. Have her look at some of the reviews.

    I am going to piggy back on this. I ordered some lingerie (yay like less than $5) and I am giving it away to my super tiny friend when she moves back. I can wear a L and I even went XL and it was too tiny. XL is a Chinese small it seems ha ha. Plus took two and a half months to arrive.

    You gotta just say no to that cause it’s not the color you want

    "No." is a complete sentence. Especially if you are buying their dresses, just tell her that you appreciate her suggestions, but you have decided to do such and such.

    If you’re buying the dresses, why is she trying to change the color and buy from Wish? You really just have to tell her no on this one.

    Hmmm them she doesn't have much say. I would talk to her and say you prefer to stick with the chosen color scheme and style of dress but maybe ask her thoughts of what style she feels most comfortable in so she has some say?

    I would talk to her immediately about it. Tell her again the colors you chosen and let her know that she can't go with a different color. It's your wedding and of you have a set color for them then they need to get a dress in that color. Also I don't think wish is really a good site to get a bridesmaid dress from.

    I've purchased many things from WISH and some have been so-so and most have been OK. I did order a wedding dress that came late, but the quality was great, I purchased it as a back up. On wish you really have to read the reviews and check their sizing. Chinese sizes are about 2-sizes smaller than US sizes (you know, kinda like wedding dresses).

    You can find the same dresses / styles on Amazon for about the same price and better shipping speed. If you and the others don't like the dresses, I'd definitely put a stop to it now and because returns are so difficult on WISH, that reason alone would be why to avoid ordering clothing from there.

    Definitely agree with what others have said on here about not shopping at Wish, but I do wonder why she chose that option to begin with? Is she worried about the cost of the dresses you were looking at and trying to save money? It may be worth a gentle conversation with her to see where the root of the problem is so you can find a way to work it out! But above all be kind, but honest about what you want!

    She’s not the bride. She doesn’t pick the dress.

    It’s your wedding. Just politely tell her you do not like the dresses and do not feel comfortable buying from wish. If she doesn’t understand, then I would have a “Come to Jesus.” It’s your day and your decision - not hers.
