Different BM's dresses? What to do?

[-->Kat<--]

Ok, so my MaOH and my Jr.BM already have their dresses, but my BM just went to order hers about a week ago. She just got an email that the dress has been on back order for weeks and that it would take like 8 weeks to get it in. Well that's too long as our wedding is only a month away. So we're thinking of having her wear a different dress, but would that look weird lined up with my MaOH and Jr.BM having the same dresses. I thought about promoting my BM to MOH (there-by justifying the different dress) as she is actually involved in our wedding and my MaOH hasn't assisted with anything, but FH says that would hurt my MaOH's feelings.

So what to do :dontknow: Any suggestions?

Are they MAID of honor and MATRON of honor?

Two totally different things so nothing to get feelings hurt over. If you were BUMPING her, maybe.

And I think it would be fine for them to have different dresses

right now I have my sister as my matron of honor and my friend Emily as a bridesmaid and my daughter as a Jr Bridesmaid. Emily would be the one with a different dress so she'd be wedged between to of the same dress. (my sister and my Jr.BM)

So that's why (and that shes helped me more than anyone... she went with me dress shopping & to get alterations tomorrow & she's planning the bachelorette party) I was thinking of promoting her.

I think having a different dress isn't a big deal, especially since you have 3 attendants. I think she would look fine in between the 2 girls with the other dress. I would be more concerned that it would look funny it you had 7 girls in one dress and a lone BM in a different dress. Good luck! :)

I have seen photos of different dresses and I think it looks better. Not everyone is made the same and a dress should flatter the person wearing it. I know there have been lots of pics on UW. Since we rescheduled we will have two attendents each, as well as junior GM and BM, so each person will chose a dress style they like in a color I choose.

All my girls wore a different dress and everything still looked good.

My MOH is in the black dress next to me, The two girls in red are my bridesmaids, the other girl in black is my SIL she stood in as the Best Girl.

I think she can be in a different dress. Don't promote her just because of that. And with your wedding only a month away, it might seem odd to ask her to be MOH now...

Since you're having a MaOH and a Jr. BM, I think it's fine for all of them to be in different dresses.

if they were all in different dresses that would be fine, but my MaOH and JR.BM are in the same dress... the only one different would be my BM

I think you should still be fine :)

[*heather*]

Are the MaOH and the BM the same size? Could BM wear MaOH's dress, and she could get a different one?

[-->Kat<--]

unfortunately, no :( my BM is a bit (couple sizes) bigger than my MaOH

You will be just fine! Try making the difference with flowers or jewelry or something. If she were the only one out of six girls I could see it as an issue, but only one of two adults and one junior - you will be just fine.

Yep, I still think it will all be fine. :)
