My First Vent - these bridesmaid dresses are getting on my nerves! *Updated*
It started out so nice, all five of us went to bridal reflections they picked out a bunch of dresses to try on, narrowed it down to three they all liked and I picked from them. Wonderful.
Then I'm talking to my MOH and get the feeling she wants her dress to be different (she was going to be strapless but the same color and the others were gonna have straps), so we go back and change it to lighter colors. Fine.
A week later I get the swatches in the mail (which look completely different then in the store!)and the two colors don't match at all! Now the dresses haven't been ordered yet because two of the girls haven't put down deposits, so i can still change it. On a side note, the reason we ordered them so early is because one of these girls is going away to grad school and not coming back till thanksgiving which would be to late. Anyhoo, so I go back again and change the colors,
and my BM who is going away finally goes back the day before she's leaving (had two weeks but waited till the last minute and I had to call and remind her that day!)
OK
Now my other BM who hasn't ordered (and lives like 5 blocks from the store) promised me she's gonna go order this week and still hasn't. Which is ironic because out of all the girls she was the one who wanted this dress the most and kept pushing me to go dress shopping.
And of course yesterday I got a message from Bridal reflections saying the color chart has changed and I need to pick new colors!
I'm really hoping this is a mistake (because she said something about chiffon and the dress isn't chiffon) because if I have to pick new colors again i'm gonna hurt somebody!
Wow, I feel much better! Thanks for letting me vent, my first of many i'm sure.Love u guys even though i'm not on here a lot!

ETA - Ok I'm much calmer now. I called the place and it turns out they meant to call another bride who they had been ordering a swatch for at the same time as me. So everythings fine. The BM hasn't ordered her dress yet but she is supposed to go Wednesday
