Bridesmaid dress help

Heres the thing. Originally when I went to look at dresses with the bridesmaids and MOH we picked the bridesmaid dress and then decided that the MOH could wear a different dress to stand out and because she was having trouble finding a dress because she has a large chest. So we decided on a dress at the time that was the same material as the bridesmaid dresses and looked good with them.

Then later my MOH told me she would probably wind up getting a different dress that she had also tried on so I said ok. Well just the other day she went to the store again without me apparantly and tried on other dresses. She tried to call me but I was in the shower so she just ordered a dress and when I talked to her she told me she ordered it already and it was a dress that I had never seen before and it is a different material but I dont really think it goes with the bridesmaid dress. But she already ordered it and I didnt wanna fight with her so I let it go but now Im worried how it will look. 

I just wanted some opinions on how you think this would look with the dresses the other bridesmaids are wearing.

This is the dress my MOH will wear, in pool blue.



And this is the bridesmaid dress, as shown, also in pool blue.

  • very strange, but its not a terrible outcome. Its not entirely the best, but since its still long and the same color and she is the MOH, it will look fairly well. If they shop has a return poilicy you could talk to her and change the dress, but most shops dont.
  • They are both the same color so most people wont notice the difference at first until all the girls are standing near each other. And then like you previously agreed she will just stand out due to being the MOH.

    I completely understand the frustration on your part. That sucks that she did that without you. IT kinda ruined that fun time of choosing the dress together and having that moment when you two find the perfect dress. But kudos for you for not starting the drama about forcing her to change a decision.
     
    Good luck from here on out and dont worry most people will have their eyes on you the entire time :)
  • I think the two dresses side by side will look fine, but more to the point is what is your MOH thinking?  The way I see it, she just trumped YOU, the bride, by go in and choosing on her own.  I think it is quite rude and would be very disturbed by her taking things into her own hands.  Was she trying to help you out by going on her own?  This is something only you can answer.  I wish you luck, I am sure your wedding will be beautiful though.
