I think we have a dress!!!

One of the wedding tasks I thought would be the easiest turned out to be one of the top 3 headaches. I have 6 ladies in my bridal party, 3 MOH and 3 BM. I wanted my MOH's to stand out so I thought about having different dress styles. I decided to let them choose their own dresses, but was I in for a surprise. MOH 1 & 3 were pretty much open to whatever I liked and weren't very picky...but MOH #2 was a nightmare. She questioned every decision, style, color, fabric, length, cut, shape, you name it she gave me a hard time. I clearly said choose a long chiffon dress in a Tiffany/Pool blue. MOH #2 sends me pictures of satin ball gowns, lol. We went back and forth for a few days over this. I even asked her several times to meet me at David's bridal to look at the dresses in person and have her try them on. Do you think she made time? NO.

At this point I'm so over it. Instead of losing a friend, I went back to the family owned bridal shop where i purchased my dress and looked at their selection of bridesmaids dresses. They had a great selection with a "Tiffany" collection, so I can have the exact shade I want The style pictured will be the dress ALL of the girls will be wearing. I didn't want to make that decision, but they left me with no choice. MOH #2 was a headache, MOH #1 has been busy with her sister's wedding approaching soon, MOH #3 lives in a different city as well as one of my BM, so this will make things alot easier, especially with so many variations of Tiffany Blue. I love this style, I think it will flatter all the girls figures, and it flows with the design of my dress. The prices are a little more expensive than David's Bridal but hey, they have more than enough time right?

That dress is so lovely. I really like the style and length of it. It looks light too so it won't feel super heavy on the girls. You're right, that kind of dress will drape nicely over any shape and body type. So it looks like it should work. Good luck getting a handle on your girls. I know what it's like! Best wishes to you.

I think the dress is pretty! Me personally wouldn't give my girls too many options because I really want to spare the headache of anyone being picky. I plan on choosing 2 dresses & letting them decide. There will be no debating with me! If anyone objects, they can simply sit it out. I know it sounds harsh but as a bride you have too many other things to be worried about. & 1 shouldn't be catering to picky bridesmaids, point blank! So enjoy your wedding planning & don't let non-factors stress you out! U will be having a beautiful wedding marrying the love of your life nothing else matters! Best Wishes!

Thanks ladies! I've shown it to 2 of the girls so far and they love it! I am so over options...I finally had to put my foot down.  flrjohnson, you commented on one of my blog posts before that really helped me to calm down and relax. So thank you because I am hanging on to your words and not stressing (atleast not yet!!!).
