Only 1 out of 5 bridesmaids gave me the fabric that I asked for.

My local florist asked for the leftover fabric from the BM gowns so that he can use it for the bouquets. Only 1 gave it to me!

One doesn't have any leftover
One's tailor forgot and threw it out
One STILL hasn't gotten altered yet
One says she sent it out 2 weeks ago. Well, it still ain't here!

I am SO disappointed with them! Now, I have to go out and buy fabric, which won't even match properly!

My girls were supposed to do that, but yeah right, they were sucky bridesmaids. I just gave my florist a sample piece of the fabric and they matched the color to fabric they had. Talk to your florist, they should have or be able to get something to match the girls dresses. You are paying plenty for flowers, let them take care of it!! My florist actually ended up using fabric for their bouquets that I like much better. The fabric they used matched perfect and was an organza which looked great with the dresses!!
