Big bridesmaid dress problem

Alison, 1 June, 2025 at 21:21 Posted on Wedding Attire 0 22

My friend ordered two bridesmaid dresses from a well known on line supplier with what seems to be a good reputation. The dresses were ordered separately in the same colour. One arrived and now the other has arrived and while they are basically the same colour they are not exactly the sane shade.


No idea what to do now, The wedding is 8 weeks away, Any ideas welcome,

Thank you.

    If the shade difference is enough that it looks like two different shades (instead of one just being a bit faded!) then you could just go ahead and everyone will probably assume you've gone for the mismatched look. If it's just different enough to look weird, then you either need a high street/mail order company that can provide matching dresses for both, or if you are happy to go with the mismatched look, then you just need one new dress - which would widen your options to second hand or sale models in bridal shops.

    Hello and thank you for your reply. They ended up ordering the two together but they are refunding for the other two so that's good.

    You either need a high street or mail order business bitlife online that can produce matching gowns for both, or you may accept the mismatched look if it's just different enough to look strange

    Hi Alison,
    Try contacting the supplier for a replacement. If not possible, you can balance it out by placing the dresses apart in photos or adding matching accessories to unify the look. Still plenty of time to sort it!

    That sounds so stressful! Dress issues close to the big day can be such a headache. Hopefully it gets sorted soon. While I was browsing online, I came across mcqsalert.com totally unrelated, but super helpful if anyone’s into test prep or study materials too!

    Hi! So I recently moved into a flat with a very airy, bright kitchen — lots of light and white space. While that’s great, it actually feels a bit cold and impersonal. I’m trying to think of small touches to make it feel warmer and more inviting. I’ve added some plants, but I think the walls could use something too. Thoughts?

    That sounds like a lovely space, but I get what you mean about it feeling too stark. I added some warmth to mine with prints from this collection: https://wallartpostersbylucid.co.uk/collections/wall-decor/r/kitchen-wall-art/
    They have charming food illustrations, wine and coffee art, and more. I hung up a pair of vintage tomato and olive oil prints and suddenly my kitchen felt cozier and more lived-in. Subtle, but makes a big difference!

    Two bridesmaid dresses ordered in the same color arrived slightly different shades. With eight weeks to go, solutions include dyeing, swapping, or consulting the supplier for a replacement.

    Oh no that’s such a pain! Just snap side-by-side photos of the two dresses and send them straight to the supplier. They’ve got a good rep so they’ll probably sort a replacement or fix it fast, 8 weeks is plenty of time. If they’re slow, hit up a local tailor—they can tweak the shade to match super quick!

    Loved the point about prioritizing structure and fabric when choosing big bridesmaid dresses—it really makes a difference in both comfort and confidence on the big day. It’s interesting how weddings bring so many details together, from styling to compatibility, which is why I sometimes check tools like this marriage astrology calculator just for a bit of fun insight during the planning process.

    A good dress can really show someone’s personality and style. Whether it’s casual, formal, or something for a special occasion, the right outfit often makes people feel more confident. Fashion is also connected to emotions and memories, especially when getting ready for events like dates or celebrations. Those moments often bring people closer together. Sometimes fun ideas about relationships come up too, like the playful compatibility tool I once saw at https://lovecalculatr.com/.
