Well, our author today, theuser u/lil-red-doormat, was that lucky – the maid of honor helped her identify a potentially serious problem four days before her wedding. Moreover, she also found a solution to this problem. But the bride-to-be still experienced a feeling of awkwardness in connection with this situation.

The author of the post chose 8 friends as bridesmaids for her upcoming wedding, and asked them to have burgundy dresses

Around a month before the wedding, everyone texted that they already had the proper dresses

However, just 4 days before the ceremony, the author found out that one of the bridesmaids in fact had a maroon dress, not burgundy

The maid of honor found another burgundy dress and another friend found it fit perfectly – so the bride made a last-minute substitution

However, the bride-to-be still had some remorse as to whether she was right or wrong here
So, now meet the Original Poster (OP) – a 26-year-old woman who very soon (at the time of the story) was supposed toget married. Long before the ceremony, back in December last year, the author chose 8 bridesmaids and texted that she wanted them all to have silver shoes and a burgundy, mesh, floor-lengthdress.
Moreover, the author specifically sent a couple of examples of the color of the dress to the common chat. All the bridesmaids answered “Okay,” and our heroine calmly went about her business. Literally a month before the wedding, she once again texted the bridesmaids to ask how things were going with their dresses – and everyone replied that everything was fine.
One of the women, “Sam,” also wrote something like “I have the dress.” This confused the author a little, because everyone else texted that theyhad boughtthe outfits… but she reassured herself that Sam had never been famous for the accuracy of her wording. However, four days before the wedding, the bride-to-be shared her concerns with the MOH and she suggested contacting Sam again about this.

At the same time, some experts argue that a situation where the newlyweds themselves buy dresses for the bridesmaids is considered a kind of good form when preparing for a wedding – at least if they can alsoafford it. “We’ve seen more brides paying for their bridesmaids’ dresses, especially if they pick a more expensive dress for their attendants to wear,”Brides.com quotesGabriella Risatti, the founder of Gabriella New York Bridal Salon.
