out of town bridesmaids

Original post by MrsRtoBe11

my childhood best friend lives in atlanta. she is actually going to try on the bm dress @ brides by lori (say yes to the dress atlanta) .. now shoud she order there or should i place her order here??
the bridal place in atl told her it makes no difference, and since she will need alterations she should order in atl ... she said she will do whatever i want ... help!

Crashing - I had a BM from Cali. She got measured out there and I brought her measurements and a check and ordered her dress here so it came from the same dye lot. When it came in, I shipped it overnight to her to get altered. Everything worked great.

one of my bridesmaids is from michigan so i'm going through the same thing! i'm planning on having her try on the dress at a store near her house and get her measurements taken there, and then i'm going to order all of the bridesmaid dresses at the same from the same place.

2 of my BM live OOT. One came up to order her dress and the other went to davids bridal where she lives and got measured. She called in her measurements and paid over the phone with a card. When the dress comes in i will pick it up and mail it to her and she can get it altered near her. Its best if its ordered in the same place because of the dye lot like the other girls said but also because they may get a better deal on the price if all of the girls all order their dress from the same place

my friend ordered my dress (the wedding was in Massachusetts) and shipped it to me via UPS, that way all the dress colors were the same (since we had heard that sometimes when you order BM dresses separately, the shades of color might be different had you ordered them together). I have one BM who lives in FL and I will most likely order her dress here and ship it to her to get altered.



this is what we did when i was a MOH in my friends wedding... I went dress shopping with them so the boutique took my measurments then when the dress came in the salon shipped it to me and i had it altered here.... I have 2 OOT BM and this is what i plan on doing if we dont wind up at Davids - Then they can just go get there dresses at thier local davids bc they dont have dye lots... all the same....

same problem here. Im doing black dresses so im hoping that the dye wont be as big of a deal. I think its best that she goes to a place near her that way she can have alterations done, but then again if I hold her dress hostage, shes forced to come visit me before the wedding haha.




Black would be my biggest fear. I feel blacks are different ll the time, even from the same store! I would order from one store at one time and then mail the dres to your out of state bridesmaid. I have three, so I feel your pain!!!
