Bridesmaid + Soloist = Outfit Change??

I have a bridesmaid that is also a soloist.  Her solo will take place before the ceremony starts- even before the grandparents are ushered in.  So the question is, should she wear her BM dress while singing or wear something else and change to her BM dress right before she walks down the aisle?

Re: Bridesmaid + Soloist = Outfit Change??

  • I think she should wear her bridesmaid dress.
  • It would be really excessive for her to have to get a second dress and do a quick change (and it would have to be very quick) before the ceremony.  There is absolutely no reason for her to wear a different dress.
    This is a neglected planning bio.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • I think she should wear her BM dress.  I agree another dress would be over kill.  It's not like it's a play and she's trying to fool the audience into thinking she is actually two different people or time has passed.  They get that she can sing and she is a good enough friend to be a BM.  No biggie. 
  • Why would she need another dress?

  • You're overthinking this.  Of course she should wear her BM dress.  She's a BM who also happens to sing.  Trying to do a "costume change" is just unneccessary. 

    Are you thinking that for some reason the BM dresses must NOT be seen before the wedding begins?  Because they will be.  And that's so not a big deal.

    This is one less thing you need to think/worry about.
