21 Bridesmaids Horror Stories: Tales of Bridesmaid Drama

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.

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.

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 is when the bridezilla demands the bridesmaids to lose a certain amount of weight in a very short time. It puts a lot of pressure on them and makes them feel bad about their bodies. Another is when a bridesmaid accidentally spills red wine on the bride's white dress right before the ceremony. It was a total nightmare.

One more horror story is about the sizing being all off. You know, like when the store measures wrong or the sizing chart is just not accurate. So the bridesmaids end up with dresses that are either too big and falling off or too small and squeezing them in an unappealing way. It's really a headache for everyone involved, especially when there's no easy fix available and the wedding is just around the corner.

A common one is the issue of dress - related problems. Like the dress not being flattering at all. I know a bridesmaid who had a dress that made her look frumpy and it was a really unflattering cut. She was so embarrassed to be in it during the wedding.

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.

One horror story is when the bridesmaid's dress was ordered way too small. It was a last - minute discovery, and the bride refused to get a new one. So the bridesmaid had to squeeze into it and was uncomfortable all day, feeling self - conscious and unable to move freely.
