drama drama drama

It has been a while since I have posted but I need to vent. Some of you might remember my little hick up with my bridesmaids and them not liking the color I picked for the bridesmaids gowns (yellow). So I finally setteled that and placed the order of the dresses, then 2 weeks after I place the order I get a call from the bridal shop to tell me they are closing and will be willing to give me a refund for all of the dresses. I was devastated because it took me so long to find the dresses I wanted. After I finally got that setteled found another location to order the same dresses I thought the drama was over. Then I get a merry christmas text from one of my bridesmaids with a sonogram. I was praying it was a joke. I called her and she tells me she is 4 weeks pregnant, meaning at the time of the wedding she will be 7 months and I just placed the order for her dress 2 weeks prior. The first thought in my head was how could she do this to me?lol All I could think about was what are we going to do about the dress and how she wouldn't be able to attend my bachelorette party. Kind of selfish I know but it's the truth. I am happy for her and her husband, but a little disappointed that she will miss some of the events now. Also, anyone have any suggestions for fixing the dress issue that does not include purchasing a brand new dress? The dress is flowy chiffon material so I got a brilliant idea to cut out the lining and have her wear a slip instead. I don't know if it makes since or can be done because I;m not a seamstress but that is the first idea that popped in my head during my crazy panic mood.

    I think (as a bride) your reaction was normal. At least you got a handle on yourself and didn't flip and go into Bridezilla mode :)

    If the dress is flowy and loose I suggest taking it to a seamstress and asking her if it can be done (removing the lining). I think you're idea is very brilliant, at least you didn't jump to kick her out of the wedding party. While it may be a bummer that she won't be able to partake in all the festivities just know that for her, this is a very special time and you never know, even with being pregnant (depending on what you have planned) she may still be able to join you in celebrating. Being pregnant doesn't mean a person forgets (or doesn't want) to have funLaughing

    Good luck honey and I pray everything works out for you and your bridesmaid

    I agree with everything the pp said, but I will also add try calling the bridal shop just to see what they can do also.  Who knows they may be able to fix your problem.  GL to you!

    I am happy that you didnt kick her out of the wedding party. Like PP said its totally normal to feel that way. Call the shop to see if you can change the size to a larger size or just take it to the seamstress. If either one of those dont work just make her wear a yellow dress even if it doesnt match.

    I agree that your idea sounds great. Have you all considered asking the bridal shop to call and see if the order can be changed to a larger size? It may be a possibility despite store policies if the dress hasn't gone into production.
