I do apologise but i need a good rant!!!!
Getting married 16/11/13 and have just confirmed venues and what we are having etc, i asked my bridesmaids a couple of months ago to be part of our day.
I have 3 adults and a 4 year old flower girl.
I am trying to organise all 3 adults plus me to go dress shopping and it's proving a difficult task. I actually live in Hull, but i'm from Leicestershire and having the wedding there. 1 of my bridesmaids lives in Scunthorpe and the the other 2 are also from Leicestershire.
BM1 - My Cousin - More like a big sister has been great, just freeing up time as and when i ask. She's a a size 12-14 dress.
BM2 - My Childhood friend - She's been there for me alot and shes amazing. She's a police officer so her time off is precious but has really odd shifts so am trying my best to work around her. She is a pretty little thing and a size 6/8
BM3 - This is where my problems lie. BM3 is our mutual friend and actually me and H2b came to know each other because of her. She is being awkward about everything!!!!! She is a larger lady a size 24 and conscious of how she looks. Being a plus size myself i totally understand how she feels about wanting to look nice and not ridiculous. BM3 Lives in Scunthorpe.
The BM's are paying for their dresses themselves so i can appreciate they want to keep costs low so i have been lenient in terms of design as long as all their colours match. Because of the variation in dress size a high street shop is out of the question really. I have seen a gorgeous dress that i think will suit all 3 of them lovely and its £130 and i know they go right up to a size 32. I have arranged for all my BM's to go see the dress over the next couple of weeks and to get BM3 enthusiastic i decided to show her the design i saw. In the shop they actually have it in the colour we are having (yellow). I thought she would be really positive but got nothing but negative vibes from her and she's really put me on a downer. She likes the dress but is being picky about this that and the other. I even flashed her my dress and again she has just been negative. We went for a look round some shops together and i tried dresses on with her and now because i haven't ordered the one i tried on with her has got the hump.
She's now being elusive as to whether she will actually be coming on the day we arranged. I offered to pick her up and take her back on my route.
I obviously want them all to look lovely, but how do i take into account all 3 body shapes, personal preferences, location differences etc. It's just starting to get me down to the point where i just want to shout at BM3 and ask her if she actually still wants to be a BM!
Help what do i do for my sanity!?!?!
