The ONE thing I asked them to make sure of and they dont know if the seamstress did it. What can I wrap the bouquets in now? I dont even know if my bridal salon saved my fabric.

Are you wrapping them yourself? If so, try to find a sheer ribbon, that way if the color isn't exactly the same it wont matter. you could also do a color like silver or gold so it will coordinate with their dresses.
If you're using a florist, maybe ask them to see what color ribbon they have in stock and then match it up as close as you can.
Good luck!

Dont stress about it. Trust me. Thats nothing.

Your florist should be able to match it easily. Show her a pic, bring a dress in or just buy the ribbon yourself.

Not a big deal sweetie. You can find ribbon to match or coordinate. We didn't have enough fabric since the ladies were pretty tall and didn't have much left of the hem of the dress left over. We ended up using this amazing gold wired ribbon that looked much better:

I saved all of it and din't even use it....if you think about it, the ends are all frayed anyway. I bought beautiful ribbon at Michael's........I got a few different colors that matched the flowers and the dresses and it was beautiful......

Do you have a swatch? I provided my florist with a swatch from my girls' dresses and he matched it with ribbon exactly. See if your florist can do that for you or go to a fabric store. They will definitely have something there for you. It will all work out and believe me, if it is a shade off, no one will notice!

even though you can probly fix the problem by buying ribbon, i can understand why you're upset that your BM's didn't follow through on the one thing you asked them.

I have a feeling I will have the same problem.
It was hard enuf getting them to get their dress orders in on time! They were all so excited when we picked out the dresss and then it was like pulling teeth to get them to call in to the shop to make the order. grrrrr!
