I unfortunately come from a family of the over dramatic. I chose my sister to be my MOH to make sure she had her moment in the spotlight to hopefully satisfy her need to be noticed and have the rest of the wedding run as smooth as possible. The first time I went to try on bridal I had my mom, sister, and the other 3 girls in the bridal party all come along. I knew that the other 3 girls (all I have known most of my life) would keep the attention on me and give their honest opinions and not give the MOH any extra unwarranted attention. I found a dress that I was OK with and put it down in the vendors database. By the time I came out of the fitting room, all my girls were staring at me and the MOH and my mom were off looking at bridal party dresses. The girls knowing this day was for me and that we were not planning on looking for their dresses during this appointment, were all looking me at smiling. I told them we still had time left in this appointment and lets go ahead and look at bridal party dresses. We found a dress that would flatter all 4 girls and added the dress into the database, it's still a little early to order.
Knowing I wasn't 100% satisfied with my dress, I talked to my mom about me and her just going to look at dresses at a different vendor and see if there was anything we liked better. First dress I tried on, my mom and I both loved. I knew this was the right dress and went ahead and ordered it. The lady that hosted our appointment took a couple of pictures so I could forward it out to the rest of the bridal party.
I sent the picture to my MOH and she said it was nice but she liked the other dress better. I told her that I ordered this dress and this is the one that I really liked. She replied with that she now wants to change her dress and that she would feel more comfortable in something with sleeves. She since has been sending me pictures, none with sleeves, of different dresses that she likes better. None are in our colors (I will not change my colors - invitations & wedding party gifts already bought and the colors are incorporated). Mom sent me a message about wanting me to change colors and bridesmaid dresses today. Finally, I just told them to find what they like, make sure the colors are my colors, and the dress is short. once they get it figured out, I'll figure out the other girls dresses.
I just feel like I'm in a losing situation. Every other day it's something different. My family says how they know it is my Fiancé and mine's day, but there is always a negative opinion/complaint. I thought that if someone asks you to be part of their celebration, you are part of it. The rest of the bridal party says it's my day, and they will do whatever/wear whatever and are just looking forward to the after party. This is supposed to be the easy part. and just for clarification, my fiancé and myself are paying for the wedding, not the parents....
