A new bridesmaid?

Lilacbouquet, 8 December, 2017 at 19:14 Posted on Planning 0 1

I have a friend who I have known since we were babies. We fell out at secondary school and lost touch for a few years but have been back in touch for a few months again now.

She has been really interested in my wedding and is happy to talk about wedding things when we meet up and seems genuinely interested. She has plenty of ideas for a hen do and I have given her a save the date which she was very pleased with.

She is happy to meet up and discuss my hen do but doesn' want to book things as she says that is up to my bridesmaids - valid point. I have been thinking if we keep getting on well I would like her as my bridesmaid but OH is concerned I will ask her a bit early as we haven't been back in touch that long.

Another thing is I have had to let a bridesmaid go (long story) and don't want to cause bad feeling about 'replacements'. But she wouldn't be a replacement, I would choose her for her not as a replacement.

Also if I wait too long I won' be able to get her a dress as it takes a few months to make the dresses, I think they are on back order.

Could I have your opinions please????

    Hi

    Congratulations on your wedding!

    I personally think you should ask your friend to be bridesmaid. Despite falling out, you’re close again now and she is obviously excited and happy for you.

    I wouldn’t worry about the bridesmaid you’ve lost and her feelings, it’s tour wedding and you don’t have to make any excuses for the decisions you make.

    Your the one that has to look back on the photos in 20 years!

    Someone will kick off not matter what, so follow your heart and make sure you have a day you enjoy.

    There will be people who view this as a replacement, and there is no helping that.

    You do need to establish if this friend is comfortable with being a bridesmaid though.

    Alternatively, ask said friend to do a reading or be a witness or something
