I took my MOH and 2 BM shopping this weekend. The dress i choose for them was discontinued so we were searching together for a new dress. I was open-minded to whatt they pulled out, but i really didn't like anything that the store had. My MOH is a size 20 so she couldn't try on any of the samples with us so i think that kinda bothered her. She was pulling out gowns for us to try on, but i didn't see anything that i liked. It was really hard to tell what looked good since everything was too small on the other girls too. Needless to say what one person liked the others didn't like. Finally my MOH snapped at me in the middle of the store and said 'you really need to think about what we like since we have to wear this dress. why can't you bend and let us wear what we want?' I had no problem 'bending' to a compromise for a dress that we all liked. I told her flat out that it's my wedding and i need to like the dress too. Shockingly my mother took her side and told me that i was wrong and that i need to think about them and what they want. when i choose the first BM dress- all i did was consider all their sizes. they all saw that dress and liked it. it was a simple A-line satin dress that wasn't low cut in the front and had a little sweep train in the back. Needless to say we left the store and i was angry because i don't think i was wrong.

Re: Does anyone else have a BIT** of Honor??
First of all, you were definitely in the right. It is YOUR wedding! You will have those pictures for life and you should love everything about the wedding from your dress, to BM dress to favors, etc....! As your MOH and your friend she should know that you would not put her in a dress that was unflattering. It may have just been that she was overwhelmed being that there were no dresses in her size to even try on.

You're right, you DO have to like the dress too. I completely agree with you. I think your MOH is just frustrated because of her size.

It is nice if every one likes their dress but the most important thing is that you like it!! It will be in YOUR PICTURES. Therefore, I feel color and style should reflect YOUR COLOR AND STYLE.
If they do not like it, tell them to get out of the BP :) Maybe a bit harsh...but I think it is fine. haha. You are the bride.

my bridesmaids couldn't pick a dress so I told them to just pick their own in brown satin... I'm sure she was tired and fustrated because nothing fit her and she couldn't really enjoy them moment. Sorry you had a bad experience.
