I have a very good friend who lives in Arizona, and she will be coming up here for the wedding, she is a BM. She will probably be pregnant (which I think will look adorable)...but I told her the dress colors will be wine. I guess she has a wine colored dress that she wore to another wedding when she was preg. with her last child. She said 'Oh good, I can just wear that dress' I didn't say anything because we haven't started looking at BM dresses yet...but I really wanted all the girls dresses (7) to match, and so does my FH. Plus, there are probably gonna be two of the other girls that will be preg by then too. What should I do? I don't wanna hurt her feelings by telling her no, I was thinking of maybe buying her dress for her. Any thoughts?

I would offer to buy her dress if money is a problem otherwise I would just explain that two other girls will probably be prego and you want all of the dresses to match.

Just tell her that you were hoping that the girls would match and that she needn't worry about the dress being appropriate because 2 other girls will be pregnant too. You could always tell her that if she needs help with the dress financially that you would be more than happy to help her out.

P.S. it isn't bridezilla-ish to want your girls to match. Especially if the one that wouldn't isn't your MOH

I don't think you are wrong at all
I would first explain to her that you want everyone wearing the same dress and second that the color wine that she has, might not be the same as the other dress color.
If money is an issue for her, then I would recommend offering to buy it, but I would try just explaining yourself to her first. If you say 'I will buy your dress' right off the bat, I am sure she is going to accept the offer and it might not be necessary for you to have the extra expense.

I was going to say maybe she cant afford it, with a new baby coming and all.. but since you said you would offer- why not just come out and tell her the truth? Go figure out what dress you want to do first, then go to her with it and ask if she would mind wearing it... And then offer to pay for it if she brings up $$$....

tell her what you want... i don't think thats bridezilla-ish at all. also, try seeing her dress, maybe you'll love it and want the other BMs to get it also! who knows?

Maybe you will like the dress she already has and the other girls that will be pregnant can get that dress.

I agree-if she is short on $ I would buy the dress. If not I would explain to her the situation. I'm sure she'll understand.
