To ask for Mumsnet to help with a small wedding hiccup?

[Weddinghiccup]

NC as this is identifying! But Center parks, penis beaker, cancel the cheque etc.

I’m getting married in two weeks. Quite a few things have gone wrong along the way, including replanning the whole thing at a new venue after the original one had a huge fire a few months ago.

Anyway, this is a small thing.. but one of my five bridesmaids has just told me she lost the wrap I bought for her. They’re probably going to need them on the day as it’s November!
So I went online to buy her another only to find they don’t sell them any more. I can’t seem to find anything similar.

I was wondering if any of you vipers please have one lying around that I can buy off you?
It’s the showcase, silver satin wrap from Dorothy Perkins. Link here: www.dorothyperkins.com/en/dpuk/product/showcase-silver-satin-wrap-cover-up-8456880

I appreciate this is a small problem but it would look much better if they all match. I’m honestly not a bridezilla

Great news!

Ah, this is great! Well done, Yabadee, and good luck for your wedding, Weddinghiccup

Yay

This thread warmed my heart and really cheered me up

Nice one @Yabadee and happy wedding @Weddinghiccup

🤩😍😍😍😍🤩

Ah this has made me smile. Lovely thread and lovely result!

What a lovely thread to wake up to.

I don't think this one is an exact colour match but they have a huge range of different colours so you may find one closer to the others.

Fingers crossed for you S!

Sorry! didn't realise you'd managed to find one, i should always check the most recent posts before i post, well done to the lady who was able to help 😊

Now the real question is, OP, are you going to trust your bridesmaid with this one or will you give it to her only on the day?

Lots of opportunities to wind her up here - “oh I managed to find one in DP Australia, cost £150 plus £80 p&p but I’m so glad you agreed to cover the cost!”

How long do you reckon you can string it out?

I know you have sources one now, but if anyone has the same issue in the future I was going to suggest taking one of the other wraps to a fabric shop. You can get them to fabric match it for you so you could buy a length of fabric to match. Then it’s just a case of getting someone to hem the edges for you (it’s an easy job as just a big rectangle).

Ahh I love this!

I am definitely not going to give her this one in advance.
I’ve not even told her I’ve hopefully found a replacement! I’ll let her stew for a bit. She knows I’m not overly happy about it.
Thanks again lovely Mumsnetters.

You’re presumably close if she’s your bridesmaid? Why would you want her to stew? She probably feels awful about it

She knows now. OP received the scarf at the weekend and was seeing the bridesmaid that night so it’s all gravy now.

It matches, not exactly the same but she can use it thankfully.

Yab

Thanks for the update. Great news!!

Ahhh, well done @Yabadee

These threads are what MN is all about.

Wow. I think that second one looks so close!

Congratulations on your forthcoming nuptials. I had a similar"crisis" with my own wrap for my wedding. It might seem a small thing but it really is such a special day.

It was a day I will never forget and 12 years later through uphills and downhills - I am so grateful to have the companionship and love of marriage.

I don't have the same one but I have one with tassels from Accessorize if you would like? Will find a link shortly

Lol at stewing bridesmaid.

How brilliant it has all worked out.

Yes, thanks to @Yabadee she has a wrap and will not freeze to death!
I'm now dealing with all sorts of other wedding issues but hopefully all will be ok on the day.
@Trishteres that's lovely. Hopefully our day will be the start of a similar story.

You are really kind. In that situation I would have preferred to have one less bridesmaid lol
