Need Advice!

Ok so i need some advice here... I am getting married on August 14 and for my bridesmaids i let them pick out whatever black dress they wanted as long as it wasn't shiny and it was flowy. I was trying to be nice and save them money(2 girls are using dresses they already have) and have something they would wear again. Problem is i can't get them to buy, order or even pick out dresses. I went shopping with them back in december and asked them to get their dresses by march. Well the MOH has hers picked out and i am hopefully going to get her to buy it next week. But the last two girl don't even have dresses picked out. I asked them about the dresses at the being of the month and they said they will start looking. I am starting to get nervous cause the wedding is less than 5 months away. I am i being crazy to worry? What would you guys do?

    As long as they don't have to order a dress or have it altered, they should have plenty of time.  If motivated, you can get the dress done in an afternoon. I would say, you can start to worry at about 2 months and really worry at 1 month.

    I feel your pain! My girls are doing the same thing. Since I am having my girls wear a certain style of dress, and they have to be ordered...I gave them a deadline. I told them that we had to get them ordered at the end of April to make sure we got them in time and could get them altered. But like what was mentioned above, if you don't have to order or alter them, you probably don't have to worry too much yet. Good luck!

    Since all they have to do is go to a store and pick out a dress, I wouldn't worry about it.  There's still plenty of time!

    Did they get their dresses yet? My wedding is in September. I let my bridesmaids pick their own dresses also, but I gave them a hard deadline. If they didn't get their dress by June 1st I was going to kick them out the wedding. Needless to say, they all have their dresses ordered.
