All her cousins will be in dress. She's girly in the way that she likes to have her eyebrows dimensions ,nails painted and she would usually wear a dress if she had to .

Aibu to dash out last minute and find a suit for Dsisters wedding ?

(Where can I get one btw,she likes one like cara delavigne. Can only find low cut ones that are worn without a shirt )

Sounds like a fantastic idea. I hope you find something.

I'd go for patent brogues or ballet flats.

If you can't find a suit in the ladies/girls sections, then look in the mens and pick out a skinny cut. It'll probably work ok as your DD is petite.

H&M have a white tuxedo with a black lapel. Would the bride go for that? I know wearing white can be wrong.

ZenNudist · 08/07/2017 14:46

Well I for one want to know what she wore. I'm thinking she'll look fab come what may.

@Sparklingbrook ... the clues in the name 'maid' of honour ... so a virgin. If they're unmarried they're maid of honour, if they're married they're chief bridesmaid.

BeyondDrinksAndKnowsThings · 08/07/2017 15:09

Or matron of honor

What colour is the original dress, op?

Sparklingbrook · 08/07/2017 15:14

Oh right. I have no clue about bridesmaids. I always thought the Maid/Matron of Honour/Chief Bridesmaid was married for some reason, no idea about virgins Confused. I didn't have any bridesmaids, I thought it was pointless.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 08/07/2017 15:16

Not what I've ever heard, although I'd have to admit I'm no wedding expert. I've always understood a maid of honour to be a married woman and a bridesmaid to be unmarried.

I wonder how OP got on? Wedding must be under way or over by now. Hope we get an update.

And before the daily mail turn this thread into an article . Fuck you Daily Fail!

Love it Grin

Daily Fail readers a dimwitted twats.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 08/07/2017 15:16

Oh, that's what I was thinking of! Matron of honour - that's the married one. As you were. Blush

Sparklingbrook · 08/07/2017 15:17

Unfortunately stating 'Fuck you Daily Fail!' on a thread will not deter them one iota. OP has even gifted them a picture for the piece.

Sparklingbrook · 08/07/2017 15:20

So we have-

Maid of Honour=Virgin bridesmaid
Matron of Honour=Married Bridesmaid
Chief Bridesmaid=? Arranges the hen do?
Flower Girls=Little bridesmaids?
Page Boys=small boys in sailor outfits?

So glad I didn't have any

BigGreenOlives · 08/07/2017 15:32

Too much hassle.

No bridesmaids, no bouquet, no speeches, no first dance, no going away outfit

SoupDragon · 08/07/2017 15:40

Hasn't she just lifted a freely available one from google? Confused

Exactly. Save them looking through the pictures library themselves.

Not a happy ending to this thread Sad .

Ended up buying 4 different suit outfits/ combinations and shoes (Dd loved them all and I thought she looked fab) and 6 different dress as well as trying to take the original dress to be altered ( no luck anywhere) . So we got as many options as we could so that we could decide on one and return the others.

Sent Dd off with all the clothes and shoes to show the others as the bridesmaids weregetting hair and make up done with the bride and traveling separately . Got to the wedding and no sign of DD , only to be told by another bridesmaid who had stepped up and taken the role of maid of honour that none of the outfits looked right.

Dsis (bride) and I confused as to wear Dd actually was only to find her in leggings and a top running errands for everyone 'behind the scenes',not even sitting with the guests .

I'm fuming . We travelled far to be here and Dd was delighted to be maid of honour. Now I have an upset Dd and the bride was also upset that the older bridesmaids did this to Dd and didn't even let the bride know .

Anyone still interested to see the lovely outfits I got Dd when I get home ?

What a shame! Disgraceful way to treat your DD and the bride!!

Please still post pics, your DD sounds like she has a cool style.

How old are the other bridesmaids? They've acted terribly, who does that to a 15 year old?
I hope you tracked down her clothes and got her into an outfit so she at least looked and felt nice for the rest of the wedding.

BeyondDrinksAndKnowsThings · 08/07/2017 17:42

Shock that's bloody awful, poor DD!! Is she okay?

FaultySpice · 08/07/2017 17:43

What a bunch of cows Angry

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 08/07/2017 17:43

I'd like to see them.

Sorry but to be honest it is a little unreasonable to expect the others in the middle of trying to get ready to get involved in your daughter trying on 10 different outfits and picking one. I'm sorry she seems to have missed out but I don't think arriving with huge selection of outfits at the last minute was particularly sensible.

PhilODox · 08/07/2017 17:45

Oh no, poor dd! Wasn't the ending I was expecting for sure.

WomblingThree · 08/07/2017 17:52

Blimey, ten outfits? You're a super-shopper! You should do it for a living.

Maybe it was DD that thought none of them looked right.

DanceMam · 08/07/2017 17:56

Dd was in tears . There was one outfit she loved and wanted to wear . All the outfits were locked in the older bridesmaids room so Dd was stuck in leggings . They're all partying now,I'm sitting here with Dd waiting for the bridesmaid to give me her hotel key/card.
