Fussy Friend
Q: My maid of honour is driving me nuts! She hates every dress I pick for her and insists that she has to wear it again. My other girls will go with anything but I just can’t make my maid of honour happy. What do I do?
A: Although your MOH is making this situation, shall we say, less than bearable, there is definitely a solution! Luckily for you, there are many designers that have created bridesmaid collections with different options to ensure that there is consistency throughout your bridal party. The great thing is that each girl gets to choose a unique style to suit her body type and personality while keeping with the wedding’s theme. A personal favourite at Weddingbells has to be the Lela Rose collection available at dessy.com—you won’t be disappointed as it offers many ideas for your bridesmaids at a variety of prices. The same goes for the bridesmaid collection at Impression Bridal (impressionbridal.com). Offer your maid of honour the luxury of choosing her own dress with the added bonus of a reasonable price—she won’t be complaining for long!

I don’t design bridesmaid dresses anymore but I used to and so I am very familiar with your problem. Whenever one of my bride’s asks me about the maids and what they should wear I always tell them this, “If you want happy bridesmaids and a beautiful, well co-ordinated, classy wedding party, tell all of the girls to get a really classy little black dress; give them fabulous jewellery to wear and colorful flowers to carry.”
I did this and it is turning out great! The only thing I said is that I get the last say on any dress, it has to go through me first! It was no big deal, but i wanted to make sure the dresses fit with the theme, and weren’t too riskee! Hope it works out!
