I need you to cross your fingers!!

MrsCWB, 27 July, 2014 at 16:36 Posted on Planning 0 18

Some of you may remember the melt down I had over my ex-foster sister a couple of months ago. I wanted her as bridesmaid, but I wasn't sure we could afford it and I was worried she would think she was an afterthought, and I was worried about what other members of my family would think.

Well, it's been nagging at me. So, I decided to forget everyone else, find some other bit of the budget to cut and have her as bridesmaid.

I asked her today and she said yes. She cried and everything! She is so excited and it's infectious! I took her to the dress shop so that we could order her dress and try some on to get the size right. All was fine, but, the shop is not sure that they can make the dress in time!!! They are going to let me know tomorrow. So please, could you cross your fingers for her so that she gets her dress? If not, could you find me a chiffon dress in flame/burnt orange?

She is going to be the most awesome bridesmaid, and she can't wait. I really want her to have the same dress as the other two.

    That's fabulous news!!! Even if the dress cant be made in time she is still your bridesmaid and sometimes 2 different dresses compliment each other. You must be so excited!!!! I like you initially had 1 bridesmaid, now 2 as it came down to budget. It's great seeing there faces when you ask them x

    Fingers crossed for you!

    You've not been very specific of style of burnt orange chiffon dress, but I did find this

    Obviously I can't comment on how good or bad they are, but it could be an option?

    The dress is ordered!! Smiley laugh

    They CAN make it in time, and so we paid for it today and will pick it up later in the year. It won't be ready for the group dress fitting in August, but we will go together when it arrives and get it sorted.

    I also phoned the make up artist and said there would be 3 bridesmaids, not 2 and she was fine with that and I managed to get hold of the lady who made the other bridesmaid gifts to get one more - luckily for me, she had ONE left!!

    I am speaking to the hairdresser tomorrow and seeing if she can fit one more in, I'm sure she will and I have found a beautiful hair accessory on EBay to buy for her.

    I am so freaking happy!!!!
