Bridesmaids
I give up. :(

Seriously???? I thought the bridesmaid drama was over. Everyone agreed on one dress. The BM out of state was a little worried about the chest area, but was going to try it on. She sent me a text telling me she tried it on and told me she hates it, she's uncomfortable in it and had to go up three sizes. She sent me a pic, the dress doesn't look bad at all. I can't help that she is bigger, dresses aren't going to change that. It just sucks. I FINALLY got everyone to agree on a dress, it was the only one that I thought someone didn't hate. :( As I type this, she is looking for something else. I really feel it's not up to me anymore. I want everyone to be comfortable, but seriously??? Every dress they tried on(ALOT of dresses) someone hated. What should I do?? I really didn't want everyone to have their own style of dress, I really wanted the uniform look. AARRGGHH!!! I give up. The ONLY stress I have had has come from bridesmaids. It really shouldn't be this way, should it????

oh man! :( my heart hurts over this! I would honestly tell her that unfortunately not everyone is going to be happy, and if she is the only one who doesn't like the dress, well she can choose to either just wear it, or not stand up...it sounds harsh, but realisitcally there is no way that everyone is going to be satisfied when you have so many different body types.
If you really cant bring yourself to be assertive and tell her she has to waer the dress, then you always could consider different dresses....if your girl's dresses are black then youw on't have to worry about matching shades...you could just go with each one of them seperately and let them each pick a black dress that they love...I stood up in one of my bridesmaid's wedding a couple of years ago and she let us all pick ur own dresses, they just had to be brown and above or around the knee length. It looked really unique and I actually thought it looked better than having all the same! But if your heart is set on them all wearing the same then you need to go with what you want and let the bridemaid know that the dress has been chosen.
goodluck hunni! I'll be praying that this situation doesn't cause anymore drama!

You are going have to put your foot down I know you may not want to seem like a bridezilla but sometimes you have to remind ppl its not about them  and if you want them in the same dress then then let them know.The way I see it they are either gonna realize yeah you are right its is about you and  wear the dress you picked out or if they dont care about yr feelings or what you want they will choose not to wear it and step down at this point I feel like as sad as this may be  if they dont wanna be there for you then why force them and have them there stressing you out.I know how it is I had a problem wit a BM and had to take her off the wedding party Im sorry this is suppose to be special for you and you are suppose to be the main focus.I will be honest I was upset at first really upset  i wanted to have the closest ppl to me there I wanted 3 BM and 1 MOH so she ruined that but as I thought about it longer it was for the best I dont anyone ther who not going to support me and what I want and like I told my dh the other day even if it just you and me thats all that matters . I know thats not how you picture it but when it comes to it thats what really matters just you and your fh everyone eles is just extra and they are either gonna be there or not.I hope things get better for you  and you are able to enjoy this time in your life.

Oh honey, I'm so sorry about this!
it sucks because you have your heart set on something and finally everyone agress on it and then it only takes one person to bring it all down. You will over come this. And you will find a much better dress that all will agree on and when they do, you'll look back and be like "phew" glad that is over.

Having bridesmaid drama is a common thing, but no you shouldn't be going through this. unfortunately there are just somethings we all can't avoid.

Stay strong love.  We are here for you <3

ok i feel for u bc im having bridesmaids trouble to but in the end they should do whatever makes u happy even if if means they r uncomfortable its not right for them to put u through so much stress my bridesmaids found a dress the first time looking for dresses and they all love them and they look amazing its not right for them to make u this frustrated like i said in the end u tell them what they r going to wear i know u want them to be comfortable but all they r doin is causing u stress and planning a wedding is already stressful enough expecially if ur a DIY bride so i would just pick a dress for them and tell them what they see is what they get no matter if they like it or not well good luck girlie :)

Thank you soooo much, girlies!! You honestly have no idea how much I needed these words of encouragement, I can't thank you enough!!!!! Last night she sent me a dress she is comfortable in, but I'm telling you, the hem looks like a cat got hold of it!!! It looks shredded!!! So I nixed it right away. I really didn't want there to be all different dresses, but I am considering this, tell me what you think. One of the bridesmaids actually preferred another dress( but is willing to wear what I want her to, she's the best!!) I was thinking of having the girl try on that dress, and if she likes it, have them 2 and 2. Any thoughts? I know it's not what I wanted, but maybe better than all different and keep the peace?? I forgot to tell you girls that the one that is having trouble with the dress is my future sister in law!!!! So I don't want to cause problems with my new family, ya know? Philly has been WONDERFUL letting me vent, feels bad it's his sister, but honestly, it was my cousin first, so we're even, haha!!! Seriously, though, you girls are the only reason you haven't read a headline that says Bride goes Crazy, haha. Thank you all so much!!!! XOXO
