September 2012 Weddings

God love my BM, she's lucky I love her!

So I had all my girls order their dreses because I KNEW (with my wedding luck, lol) that something would go wrong. They all ordered their dresses, one BM, who lives in Brooklyn, wasn't able to go shopping with us and is that awesome "just tell me what to wear and I'll get it" girl. So I send her all the information and the dresses are under my name at DB. So what happens?! The girl gets the correct dress.....WRONG COLOR. Silly girl. Our dresses are pink, the color is called "pink." What does my girl order? Apple....apple?! We aren't even using red. She asks me the color and I seriously think she's kidding about it. She was not.
This is what she ordered:

This is the color:

I feel super bad because she feels horrible about ordering the wrong color. If we were using red or she was my MOH I could probably find a way to make it work, but it just won't. I took it a lot less crazy as she did. I'm definitely way more laid back than her and told her to take it and see if she could exchange the color or anything like that. The bridezilla in me wanted to say "why the hell didn't you order it under my name like I said!" but I love her too much to do that. I just had to share my crazy story about my girl as a little laugh for people who are having an especially stressful Monday!

  • Oh my gosh! Good thing you got it out of the way early! Imagine if this happened a few weeks before the wedding :)

    I'm sure DB will get it figured out.

    Good for you for being so relaxed about it!!

  • Good thing it's still far out!  This is exactly why I had my girls order theirs by the end of last month.  I figured if any horrific dress-related problems happened that it would be okay since there's a lot of time :)  Luckily, there hasn't been any disasters yet!  Also, I don't think I'd call them a disaster unless it was a month before the wedding ;)
  • A friend of mine had a similar issue at DB (although it was the wrong shade of green, not a totally different colour lol) and they were able to fix it for her, so I hope they can for your friend!
  • DB had the wrong color in the computer for me and we didn't realize it til about a month after two of the girls had ordered.  The dress hadn't come in yet, but they fixed the issue no problem (and the correct color came in just two weeks).  Good luck!
  • Oh hey we have the same BM dress :-)

  • Jessa, I LOVE this dress. I may buy one for myself. My girls are all different colors and it looks so good on everyone. The only one they could all agree on!

    It wasn't my first dress choice for them, but it's the only one my MOH felt comfortable in. She's struggling with weight issues right now and was very uncomfortable when we went to try dresses on. I let her have the final say.
