Maid of Honour wants to wear a bridesmaids dress from a previous wedding
Hi all,
I am only haveing a maid of honour in my wedding party. She just informed me the other day that she would prefer to wear a bridesmaids dress she wore in a previous wedding. It's lilac and my colour is periwinkle. I was quite upset and hurt that she would even suggest this. What's happening with people these days? How should I respond to this. Lilac is a purple hue, not a blue hue. I gave her the option of choosing a dress as I am only having one attendent. I left the option for her to choose something that flatters her, just as long as it's periwinkle, or in the light blue shade.

No worries...just tell your bridesmaid that while you appreciate her frugality you need her to select a dress that is periwinkle in color simply becuse you're selected these colors throughout the wedding decorations such as flowers and such. zLilac simply will not match. You've allowed her to select the syle but she needs to choose the right color. Is there any way she could have this dress dyed?

I just received an e-mail from my maid of honor saying that she would prefer not to be in my wedding party now. While I am dissapointed, I'm not all that upset, but I'm unsure how to react to this now. In her e-mail she said that no matter what dress she picked that I may not be happy with it and she didn't want to be the person to "ruin" my day!? I'm really stumped on this one. My sister can easily fill her place, but I asked my friend because I wanted her to be my maid of honor as she is the oldest friend I have. I need guidance on how to respond to her when she calls me or I call her.

Sounds like your oldest friend is acting very young!
If you want to keep her as your maid of honor tell her that the two of you will go together and settle on adress you both like. With only one attendant this should be a fairly simple task but it sounds to me like she may not want to spend the money. Speak to her about this issue.
