Firstly, we bought the dresses online by good manufacturers (no cheapies).
My my daughter picked the first dress she liked. She picked it with me since her MOH couldn’t seem to find time to look at websites. We should the girls and the MOH and they all loved it. Order time? No. Just before I order they tell me they done like the all lace back and how can they wear a bra, bla bla. So I said ok, let’s keep looking.
My my daughter found another dress (actually a mother of the bride dress) that they all liked! Great! So the deal is, I pay for the dresses then they pay me back. Yes, I do regret this, a lot. I ordered the first one and told them the full cost with shipping and duty. 2 of them were complaining of costs and so I cancelled that order and went on a hunt.
i found the flower girls dress on a sit I frequently shop. The same dress, exactly the same from a store here and other online ads. The lowest I found was $100, I found it for $45! So I thought ok I’m looking here.
i found dresses! Lovely beautiful dresses. Comfortable cool dresses that my daughter loves. With handkerchief hems. The MOH was a different dress, different designer and different in colour but still enough colour that it worked together. I ordered the lot. Thankful that this was done? Nope.
The MOH dress shows up first and she puts it in at my house. We like it and compliment on it. She talks about making it shorter, we said you can do whatever you want with it after the wedding it’s your dress. Apparently she was unhappy.
A couple of days go by and she messages me that her and the other bridesmaids have been talking. They don’t like the dresses. I said no one has seen the dresses only yours and yours is different. She and actually just one other bridesmaids wanted to go for the more expensive on. (The same people who complained of costs). Then the MOH says that she is doing this for my daughter because her pictures will not look good. Another one of the bridesmaids has 3 people in the wedding party and she is the grooms sister, there mother had a heart attack 2 days before this stuff. I made it clear to leave her out of it, she has much more to think about than petty nonsense. Then the other bridesmaid say, fine I wil wear it until after the dinner then I’m changing? She can’t actually do something for some else for a couple hours? So the final answer was - these are the colour we want, wear what you want. If she was so concerned about her pictures she wouldn’t be ok with this. Please tell me if I’m in the wrong here. Oh yes and her MOH has not done a thing to help. Not picking dresses, flowers, invitations. Has decided no bridal shower and I can’t even image what bachelorette party because it’s “expensive” oh yeah AND I can’t return those dresses so now they must pay me for them.
How is this going to look no in photos with everyone wearing whatever?
