  I can assure you that you, as the bride, will be the center of attention and that her skin color won't make the entire wedding party look odd.  It's up to her how and when she decides to exercise, so that's one less thing you need to worry about.  I was hoping that your post was going to be more of concern about her fake tanning (which is really really bad for you!) but it was more about how your bridesmaid will look.

  
  

  Please relax and worry about what you need to do for your wedding, not about how your bridesmaid will look.

  You can't tell her she isn't allowed to tan, it's her choice what she does to her body. You also can't force her to exercise. If she shows interest in dieting, encourage her to do it in a healthy way, but because you care about her, not because you don't want to screw up the "look" of your wedding party. You chose people for your wedding party based on your relationship with them, not because of how they look. Or at least I hope you did.

  I also worried some about this--my sister/MOH likes to be very tan.  I figured, if she stood out in the pictures, SHE would be the one to look weird, not me.  It turned out OK though.  Same thing when my MIL decided to wear a purple dress.  There are some things you can't control so just worry about the things that you can.

  why does she have to go to a tanning bed?  If she's so concerned with being tan she should get airbrushed or self tanner, not play Russian roulette with her skin.  I'm a bit over sensitive about fake baking, my mom used tanning beds and got melanoma.  I don't see the point of risking looking like a leather bag in the future for a few weeks of orange-y skin.  *gets off soapbox*

  [QUOTE]One of my bridesmaids (there are only 2 in the party) was talking to me the other day and said she plans on getting a 2 month tanning package so "she can be tan without lines" for my wedding. I asked her not to do it. I told her she would look rather funny standing next to me and my other bridesmaid who are pale complicated. She got a little offended when I told her. I think I am going to have a bridesmaid-zilla with her. She does want me to look my best, but is always talking about what she wants to look like for the wedding. How can I ask her to "slowdown."<strong> I have also asked her to start excerising with me, but she doesn't show any interest in doing anything</strong>. She plans on waiting a few months and than doing a crash diet.  HELP!!! I really don't want her to be overly tan, I think it would just make the wedding party look weird!

  Seriously?  So not only do you want her to not look tan (I would understand being concerned for health reasons, but yours are purely superficial) and now you think she's too fat?
