well, with only 25 days to go, I found out that the wrong BM dresses were ordered! i had selected Bill Levkoff style #704 in Euro Berry with a Champagne sash. The dress that was ordered is Bill Levkoff style #705 (still in Euro Berry, no sash). I don't know what to do! I'm so upset. The GM's tuxes were coordinating to the Chamagne sash and I had the girls get Champagne shoes. They are going to call the manufacturer tomorrow, but I doubt that's going to do anything. I have an OOT BM who needs her dress asap for alterations. I have included links below with pics of the dresses.
UPDATE: They are going to rush the dresses. They will be in by August 4th. Then I can overnight the dress to my OOT BM. Ugh.....hopefully that's the last big stress I have to deal with! Thanks for all your help ladies!
SECOND UPDATE: So the dresses were supposed to be here last Friday, but they still didn't come in yet. They are telling me that they may be in tomorrow morning. I don't know what to do. My wedding is NEXT WEEK! And I have an OOT BM that needs alterations! This stinks............

I definetelt like your dress much better-but the other dress is pretty as well. Just keep trying to get the manufacturer to rush the dresses-Good luck!

Re: Huge Problem....BM Dresses
can you have the seamstress change the color of the bow to champagne or add somethin in champagne to make it coordinate better? that might be an option for you... the dress is veryy pretty!

Re: Huge Problem....BM Dresses
keep on them about the rush order, I hope everything works out.
If they can't get it in and since the dress is basically the same in color and style, maybe the can get some fabric (champagne colered) and add a sash to the dresses for you. It would be the least that they can do.
goodluck!

Re: Huge Problem....BM Dresses
I would make the salon take care of all of it for you-- it can be rushed-- it happened with my gown, and they screwed up royally with a month to go-- it is 100% possible for it to be done within that time limit-- and I even got a note of apology from the manufacturer, regarding the mixup. do not settle for what you didnt order-- its up to them to make it up to you....thats their job

Re: Huge Problem....BM Dresses
Oh no LL!! I can't tell from your links what actually came in, but you ordered this one, correct?
Look at Cindy - they never placed her order, and it was a WEEK before the wedding, and the dresses came in. Granted you don't need this kind of stress or BS. Can you repost a pic of the one that came in? The Euro Berry goes with champagne regardless of a sash.
Hang in there!

Re: Huge Problem....BM Dresses
looks like the links aren't working. the first one is the dress i wanted. the second one is what actually came in.
i really like both dresses. maybe they can order you the champagne sashes and they could be added on the the dresses that came in? that would look beautiful!

I really like both. Even though the champagne sash is missing, I think champagne shoes would still go, and the guys can def keep their tuxes. I would press the salon to rush order the righ dresses. Altertations can be done overnight.

Re: Huge Problem....BM Dresses (update)
i actually had a major problem with the bm dresses too and everything turned out amazing. The dresses came in and they were all sage green but not all the same sage green so the place sent them back. they came in a week and a half before the wedding and all the girls had to get in to be fitted. everyone of the girls had their dress by the thurs before the wedding. I would have them send back the wrong dresses and get the ones you wanted - dont settle
