The bridesmaids don't like the dresses you've chosen.
The bridesmaids hate the color scheme you've decided to have.
One or some of your bridesmaids have huge tattoos on their arms and refuse to temporarily cover them because "they don't want to have to change who they are."
According to your bridesmaids, you're being too extravagant ... too showy ... too vain.
- Your bridesmaids agree to participate in your wedding, but fail to show up for important fittings and/or planning appointments.
- One or more of your bridesmaids threaten to drop out of the wedding unless they get what they want.
If by chance you come across any of this, ask the culprits to see themselves out of your wedding with haste. You don't need the stress. You don't deserve the headache. When/if your bridesmaid gets married, she can pick HER styles and colors. When/if your bridesmaid walks down the aisle in a silk Vera Wang gown, she can proudly display HER skull & crossbones tattoo. It's an honor to be asked to participate in a friend or family member's wedding and if you accept you should remain gracious and helpful, not confrontational or spoiled. If any of your bridesmaids feel they can't deal, ask them to kindly step aside.
Brides, it's YOUR day! Don't allow anything or anyone to steal your joy.
