EMERGENCY | BRIDESMAID DRESSES

Tamar, on May 19, 2015 at 8:28 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 40

We are now down to the wire with only 3.5 more months until my wedding and I still don't have bridesmaids dresses for my ladies!!! We went shopping together, which is tough to do considering my MOH lives in TX, 2 of my bridesmaids live in Cleveland, and one lives in NY, but we all decided on the Watters Buttercup, style #2736. Not to mention, this was a pretty tough task considering all of our opinions, body types, and budget.

After deciding on a $300 dress I had to shop around for the best deal, which was on Weddingtonway. The dress is marked at $260 and they were going to give me a coupon code, but now that I have all of the sizes of my girls and I am ready to order they are no where to be found. I've left several messages, emailed several times, and I've called several times as well.

I'm stressing a little, because it was a long road to find 'the one' and now that option isn't looking favorable. What should I do? Should I just find another dress and buy off the rack? Plz HELP!

    This is not an emergency.

    Yes, just go find another dress.

    Doesn't sound like you have time to order from Weddingtonway anymore. They say you need to allow 14 weeks for delivery (and I have heard they are slow) and you're under 15 weeks out.

    You might want to get to David's Bridal and start looking.

    No, really, it's not an emergency. Emergencies are when your photographer falls and is injured, your flowers don't show up, or your dress has a hole in it when you're about to walk down the aisle (someone had this happen to her just this past weekend).

    Having three months to locate a bridesmaid dress isn't even urgent.

    I would go find another dress. With such a hefty dress budget I'm sure you can find something else you all like from a more reliable company.

    Must be nice to have your kinds of emergencies. Just pick another dress like us mere mortals would do.

    Find a new dress. You won't get them in time if you order now.

    I had to start over with bridesmaid dresses about 4-5 weeks before my date. I ended up going to DB and buying off the rack. Found dresses same color but different styles.

    Time to find a new dress. Like Alicia said, with that kind of budget, you'll have plenty of options.

    Go look some where else. Everything can be fixed. Only 1 of my 4 bridesmaids have their dress and my wedding is in 19 days. IDGAF anymore if it comes down to it, we're going to head to the store and pick something up.

    I can understand where you are coming from when you say emergency. Having the bridal party in a different state is really hard. I have the same issue my Matron of Honor as well as the Best man are in Washington state and we are in Utah, We had to shop for dresses and the tux last june when we were there. then my MOH decided she wanted to change her dress because of the style of the other dresses. It was frustrating.

    Go check out azazie.com. They have a ton of dresses to choose from, affordable, and will most definitely arrive before your wedding date! Good luck!

    I appreciate the ladies who are offering helpful advice and feedback as this forum is designed to do. I am very blessed and highly favored as a child of God to have a problem as "minor" as this to some. So excuse me for reaching out to brides for helpful advice, when the answer isn't as clear to me. Have a blessed one Smiley winking

    What color did you choose? That dress is a pretty common style - I imagine you can find something comparable. JCrew maybe?

    Better find another dress. Ordering online will take time plus any alterations.

    @annabee71 I chose black. But this dress is so perfect for everyone's body type. Not to mention everyone loves this dress. As simple as this style is, I haven't seen it anywhere else. And the fabric is so nice, luminescent taffeta.

    This place looks like they have them. Says 6-12 weeks at most.
