Wedding is 5 weeks away and I just got an email for my maid of honour back in Canada. She tried on the dress for the first time in a couple months and it won't close over her boobs, and could I give her the link to buy it again as her old one wasn't working... awkward; the colour was discontinued by J Crew after Christmas, which is why I sent an email back in February saying 'omg, just had a brief panic attack. Did you get your dress? that colour has been discontinued!'
*sigh*
So I just replied to tell her it was discontinued and to check ebay or if the dress in't too far from fitting to see if a seamstress could help, but I'm also on the lookout for an alternative solution if she can't find a dress in 'monterey pine' in her size. I wouldn't mind her being in a different colour altogether, but I definitely don't want a dress in a similar colour with slightly different shade and fabric. So, I need to choose a back up colour for her dress, and I need hitched help.
The colours of our wedding are greens, reds, pinks, and florals. This is my sister's dress, in the original colour, which she will still be wearing, and the FG dresses:
This is my dress (ish), and Anthony's tie (my dress will have a sash the same burgundy as the tie):
And the groomsmen all are wearing black tuxedos with dark green bowties and pocket squares:
And then there's lots of floral tea cups for decorations, incorporating a lot of pinks and creams as well, and I've used cath kidston floral wrapping paper on my table plan, will have a pink table cloth for cake table and floral frames for signs, etc. The colour scheme I created is along the lines of:
So now the dilemma of choosing a different colour for one of my two adult bridesmaids. IF I do end up having to put her in a different colour, I will endeavor to also find a bow tie that colour for the best men, so it doesn't look out of place, but here are the options:
White, champagne, or blush. I only include white because the flower girls are white, but I think I'm leaning more towards either the champagne or blush. Thoughts? Here I thought my BM dresses had been the most stress-free thing in the world, as I didn't choose anything about them and my sister was the one who picked the shop, and the colour, and both girls chose their own style in that fabric and colour, so I had nothing to do with it. But now, if there's two colours it ends up a bit more complicated.
Oh well, I'm sure it will be fine no matter what happens, I just value few opinions from on here.
