I don't get this. You gave them 20 dress choices, and they were supposed to tell you which one they ordered. Two of your girls ordered the same dress. Is that correct?
@loves day: what about adding a belt or sash or some other accessory? in the end... it'll be okay. she got a dress that was one of her options and it will work, so it's not like she'll stand out terribly or anything. it sounds like she's not a great friend in general but it is what it is... frustrating!
Yea ask her to alter in a way to not look like the other girls dress, but if you do, i think you should have to pay for it.
@loves day: So 2 out of the 5 girls have the same dress? Honestly, I would let it go. yes, its annoying that she didnt pick a different one like you asked but at this point its probably too late to order a new one. I was in a wedding with 7 BM's and the bride let us pick our own style. 2 had the same and 5 of us had different ones. It wasnt a big deal and the pictures still looked great
This sounds like a totally honest mistake. I think that if only two of the five have the same dress, your girls will still look great. Give her a break on this one and try to be excited about having her there with you on your wedding day!
I think you can make this work. Nobody will probably even notice, or they will think it's intentional. Just put them in between your orther 3 (spots 2 and 4) with the other dresses being in spots 1, 3 and 5.
Why is it an issue that 2 girls have the same dress from the styles you selected? I think she followed your instructions, maybe she just liked this one best. How does this make her a bad friend? I personally don't see anything wrong with what she did. If you want them to stand out differently I would do a sash or belt.
I think you are worrying about nothing. So what if she ordered the same dress as another girl. No one is really going to notice. If you want her to alter or get a different dress you should be paying for it not her.
I am upset because 1) this has been democratic from the beginning with input from each of the girls. They voted on the designer and to all wear different dresses. After they voted on it the idea really grew on me and I was really excited to see the concept executed and 2) she couldn’t be bothered to read the emails with all the instructions.
@ MissGreen I specifically asked the girls to wear different dresses. I then asked the girls if they would be okay if 2 of them wore the same dress and they all vetoed that. They all wanted to wear different dresses in order to stand out more.
@ MightySapphire yes. They each had to pick a different dress from the 20 or so options that they had.

So I am getting married soon. I have 5 bridesmaids and 2 hostess. I started polling the girls back in January about dress. I wanted to set a few parameters (designer {which they voted on and chose}, length, material, and color – that still left about 20 odd dresses from them to choose from) and let them pick their own style. I have been sending out incredibly detailed emails with all of the dress information, including everyone’s top choice. I have left voicemails and text message because not everyone likes to communicate via email.
But still, with all of that one of my girls ordered the WRONG dress. She ordered the same dress as another one of my friends. Now, I know in the grand scheme of things that isn’t a big deal, but it is the one thing I asked her to do. Just get the dress and stand up next to me. Nothing more. No need for her to participate in anything else because she just moved and have a crazy work schedule. Seriously, how did she get the wrong dress? It is especially hurtful because we both agreed to work harder on being good friends to each other. In each email I asked the girls to either send me a picture of them in the dress or call me to let me know which dress they planned on ordering. I just feel like, “wow, you didn’t care enough to call and check with me?”
So if I just let this go I don’t get the vision of what I wanted for them for the day and my other friend will be upset because even though she followed the instructions she will end up looking like someone else or…..what? I can’t ask her to get another dress due to cost and time restraints. Can I ask her to alter it (and to get it to look different will be costly)?
