Bridesmaids Paying for Their Own Bouquets

I do! Love my girls. Initially I was bummed that my younger BM wasn't into any wedding related stuff - but that was just me being a little whiney at the beginning of wedding planning. They've all been great so far. I offered to pay for their makeup & jewlery & they were thrilled. I have been really laid back with letting them pick their dresses, shoes, hairstyles, makeup, jewlery, etc. They ask for my approval but I really want them to pick it all to be sure they really like it. No complaints here. I'm excited for my shower to see what they've planned

Ditto. My bridesmaids are actually getting annoyed with me because I am too lenient! They asked what dresses to buy and I said we need to try them on and all agree on them because I don't want them to buy/wear something they don't like. Then, they asked what shoes. I said I don't even care if you go barefoot. It's a long dress and an evening wedding. No one will see your shoes. They begged me to even just pick a color because they said it made it more complicated for them because they have unlimited choices instead of me just telling them what to buy. So they all said they have silver shoes, so I said silver is fine.

FMIL was asking me what dress she will be wearing. I'm like, I don't know. What dress are you going to choose to wear? She said, "Shouldn't you tell me?" So I told her, jokingly, "I can't even figure out what I'm wearing on a daily basis, I really can't be responsible for other people!" Then she keeps asking what color. I'm like, whatever color you feel you look best in! I really had no idea people expected the bride to be so demanding! I'm not in any way a person to make someone else do something just because of what I think.

Feel free to send your uncle our way. I'd love to get our bathroom re-done!

Our whole Bridal Party is awesome so far. With the exception of my FMIL everyone has been super supportive. My MOH offered her land as our venue. My Aunt offered to be my Wedding Planner/DOC. My nephews are helping build some of our décor. My Mom has offered to go every weekend with me until I find my wedding dress.

Your BMs must be very happy about your wedding. Offering to pay for their bouquets was a way to express that joy. You're a lucky lady.

You're lucky! Mine have complained about everything.

I've also experienced the "too lenient" phenomenon!÷

I am glad everyone else is experience awesome people as well!

I am so much farther behind in this wedding planning thing, having just asked my 2 besties to be maid ofhonor and personal attendant,within the last 2 weeks. Now, before you yell about the PA thing, know that she was going to asked to be a MOH too, but before I could get it out she asked to be my PA, because she doesnt feel comfortable being in the front row, and center of attention (which is weird given he outgoing personality). So, of course, I agreed, happily! Anywho, last Saturday I had drinks with my MOH friend and she asked what shes going towear... I said anything you want to.....said anything you feel great in thats in your closet, or on sale after easter or prom. She got a little pissy and snapped..well, what color at least? Haha I did say something lighter would be nice, since we are wearing darker colors...like a pattern or flowers or something. She looked confused lol. Then, she said I have to go with her...which is awesome, I love shoppin with my girls, but she's going to pick the dress she likes and can afford. Its kinda damned if you do and damned if you dont. Her hubby (GM and my cousin) will most likely wear his HD stuff..black pants, black boots, black vest...and I hope he will at least wear a short sleeved dress shirt instead of a hHD tshirt.....but whatever he wears is great as long as hes there!

3/4 of my bridal party has been super accommodating and very creative. The one BM that isn't/won't be I don't mind because her wedding is not even 3 months after mine, she's got enough to worry about!

My Bridal Party is great. My only complaint is that my sister/MOH is overstepping her bounds a bit and trying to invite family to the shower I didn't originally invite. I'm a little hardcore, but if I haven't had a conversation with you/laid eyes on you in my adult life, you are not invited to my wedding festivities. Sorry, cuz.

We haven't done much, but so far it's going good. My brother is taking his Man of Honor duties super seriously, and is all about helping to make my day perfect. (He's such a girl.) I'm not putting overly high expectations on, which probably helps. But my girls and I have a pretty similar outlook on things, so I am not anticipating any drama.
