    OK let me give my back story. I orginally had 6 bridesmaids who are my 2 sisters and 4 friends. My fiance had 6 groomsmen but I demoted on of my bridesmaid because she was being negative all the time. She would complain about the dresses and events my other bridesmaid would plan and didn't want to attend any of the events. Lastly she became a bridesmaid because she begged me to include her because she was my sorority sister and I felt bad so included her, then eventually told her we didn't have enough groomsmen so she will have just me a honorary maid. But now his sister that I didn't include in the wedding at first becuase we had a big fight a few months before we got engaged wants to be a part of the wedding. I told her she could be a usher and help greet guest, but they are wearing blue and she doesn't want to wear blue but wear purple like my bridesmaids. She has become nicer since I've gotten engage to her brother but is that enough for me to tell her ok buy the purple dress and become a bridesmaid and have my sorority sister I demoted see that she got replaced with my fiance sister???

    No.  You really shouldn't demote or kick members of your wedding party out.  That's a friendship-ending move.  Nor do you replace them, because that tells the replacement that they weren't good enough to make the original cut.

    You demoted a BM to Honorary because you didn't have even sides, you had a fight with your FSIL so you told her she couldn't be in the wedding, then you and FSIL reconciled so you told her she could be an usher, then she said she didn't like the color you told her to wear as an usher, so now you want to make FSIL a BM as a prize for her getting along with you and to show up your demoed BM? Do I have that right?

    No. Not under any circumstances should you ever replace a bridesmaid with someone else.

    Other "nos," in no particular order...

    You shouldn't have picked anyone because they begged you. 

    Once you did though, you shouldn't have gone back on it without some SUPER serious reason like she physically assaulted you.

    Sides don't need to be even. No, not ever. You shouldn't have demoted anyone because of that.

    Bridesmaids don't need to like the dress color, they just need to show up wearing what's been designated with a smile slapped on their face, even if it's fake.

    Bridesmaids don't have to like any pre-wedding events, nor do they have to attend them. See above requirements of bridesmaids.

    Ushers don't need to wear any particular color. They are not part of the wedding party. Let your ushers wear whatever they want. Same goes for parents and readers.

    Something I have never quite understand is why people become so obsessive and crazy over this whole bridal party crap. 

    What is so special about being a BM? What if you don't want a bridal party? Why do some girls who are not even close to the bride freak out and demand to be a bridesmaid? I just don't understand this. 

    And why do brides get so hostile with their bridal party attendants? Who cares! The whole point to a bridal party, and this is just my opinion, is to have those close to you stand with you as you make such an important life decision. That's it! Who cares what color dress they have on, their hairstyle and make-up, whether or not they were able to attend your bridal shower/bachelorette party? How do you 'demote' someone close to you? You just don't. 

    Of course, lets hope you chose your bridal party wisely and they won't care about dress color or anything else just as trivial. Hopefully they accepted the request because they want to stand with as you make this life decision and for no other reason.
