21 bridesmaids horror stories

There was a case where a bridesmaid got food poisoning the night before the wedding. She was so ill that she couldn't perform her duties on the big day. The other bridesmaids had to quickly adjust and cover for her, which was really tough as they had their own tasks planned already. Plus, it put a bit of a damper on the whole bridal party mood.

Well, perhaps there was a case where a bridesmaid accidentally spilled red wine on the bride's white wedding dress right before the ceremony. It was a total nightmare. Everyone panicked, and the bride was in tears. The bridesmaid felt so guilty, but there was little time to fix the situation.

The most common one is probably the dress issue. Either the bride chooses an unflattering style for all body types, or there are problems with sizing and alterations. Another common one is when the bridesmaid is overworked. The bride may expect too much help with pre - wedding tasks, leaving the bridesmaid exhausted.

One horror story could be a bridesmaid's dress disaster. Maybe the dresses were ordered from a shady online store and they arrived looking nothing like the pictures. The color was all wrong, the fabric was cheap and itchy, and some of the dresses were even the wrong size. This led to a lot of stress and last - minute alterations.

One common type is the over - demanding bride. For example, she may demand that the bridesmaids lose a certain amount of weight in a short time to fit into the dresses she has chosen.

Bridesmaids could have a horrible time with the hair and makeup trials. The stylist might not listen to their preferences and give them a look that they hate. For example, they might end up with a really over - the - top hair style that doesn't suit them at all. Also, during the preparation of the wedding favors, if the bridesmaids are in charge and something goes wrong with the production or the ingredients, they are left to deal with the mess. And if the bridesmaids are supposed to learn a special dance for the wedding but the choreographer is really bad, it can be a nightmare for them.

There might be a story where a bridesmaid had to deal with a bridezilla. The bride was constantly yelling at the bridesmaids, making them run all kinds of errands at the last minute, like getting the wrong type of flowers fixed just hours before the wedding.

One horror story could be the bridesmaid dresses. They might be extremely unflattering or the wrong size. For example, I once heard a bridesmaid got a dress that was two sizes too small because of a measurement error. Another horror could be a difficult bridezilla. The bride might demand too much from the bridesmaids, like making them do all the last - minute wedding preparations while also expecting them to look perfect. Also, there could be issues with the groomsmen. Maybe they play pranks that go too far on the bridesmaids during the wedding day.

Some bridesmaids might choose to just grin and bear it for the sake of the friendship. But this can be really hard. Another option is to find a mediator, like a mutual friend or a family member who can talk to the bride on their behalf. This way, the bridesmaids can avoid direct confrontation and still hope for a resolution to the difficult situation.

You could start by focusing on their unique personalities and experiences. Maybe include some funny or touching moments they shared with the bride.
