Last minute bridesmaid addition?

I'm a big believer in 'your day- your way' so firstly I wouldn't be too bothered about other people thinking its weird or whatever. If you feel she is someone you are close enough to become one of your bridesmaids then i say go for it.

Things change over time and if she has shown to be a true friend then you may regret not including her on the big day.

It is strange how things work out over time and how you realise who is important and who isn't when planning your wedding. I had my bridesmaids chosen within a week of being engaged but then added one on 7 months before the wedding and it was the best decision I made.

When deciding I felt that I would regret NOT making her one more than I would regret having her as bridesmaid. It cost me a lot more money and meant a little more stress on the build up to the day but it was so worth it. With 3 weeks to go it might be tricky but it's your wedding and you don't want to be regretting a thing.

Thank you! It will be stressful getting matching necklaces to the others, dress altered, and paying more for flowers and hair but I really feel she deserves it and I want her to be a part of it all

I think if you want to ask her you should. I'm sure she'd be thrilled but I'd be equally prepared for her to say no. She may already have spent money on a new outfit, shoes, jewellery etc and it's possible she won't have money (or even want to pay) for a dress to be altered at this late stage. I know that's not something I'd want to pay for myself. Hope it works out for you x

I think that answers your question. You sound like me! The exact same things went through my head and I didn't regret it one bit. She was an excellent support and we are really close now.

I think you'd need to make it clear what she will need to pay out and be prepared she may say no. If she does, do you have a reading she could do if she preferred?

My thoughts exactly. Go for it!

I agree with this. If she doesn't want to do it then I'm sure there are plenty of ways to involve her and give her a special role in your wedding without being your bridesmaid.

For what it's worth though, I'd totally ask, she's obviously important to you...I hope she says yes!

Did you ask her?

If your friend doesn't become one of your bridesmaids, she could be a witness. I have 2 best friends, a man and a woman, so it was easy for me when deciding on one of my bridesmaids. My other friend however, tends to be a bit emotional and I don't think he'd be able to do a reading, so I have asked him to be one of our witnesses.

Yes I asked her and she said yes!! Sooo happy that she's going to be a bridesmaid!!!
