If you cant afford having more bridesmaids I would leave it is it is with 2 and a flowergirl. Dont feel pressurised into changing your mind as you bro should understand that you cant afford to have more bridesmaids anymore and that it is your choice after all who the 2 bridesmaids should be. So dont feel bad or guilty and stick to your guns, wouldnt you rather have a lovely day with 2 bridesmaids than a few more bridesmaids and knowing you have the extra cost hanging over your head.
Also can I just add that you are pretty in my eyes so dont put yourself down like that and you will be gorgeous on your day too. x

8th August 2008 - the day he was mad enough to propose to me
24th July 2010 - the day I felt beautiful inside and out and
became Mrs Dickie for life. xx

Why not blame it on cost? You could say "if she can buy her own dress, she's more than welcome to be a bridesmaid..." Then you can put her in a minging dress just to be on the safe side ;-)
I feel the same as you, but I think when we're dolled up in our own dresses we will all steal the day :-D

No one is gonna be looking at the bridesmaids hun only the bride I wouldnt worry about it anyway, tell your brother that if they can pay for their dresses then they are more than welcome but that due to budgets you cannot have them. And btw Jenniebean you are very pretty so stop saying things like that!
21st September 2011 the day I became Mrs Davis!

yeah i'd tell her she has to buy her own dress that way you keep everyone happy and aren't out of pocket
well me and H2B had a chat and have decided to have the extra i am being silly he said and i am and will be the most beautiful thing on the day we have asked the bridesmaids to pay for thier own shoes though to help with the cost i am actually excited about having 4 now and my daughter georgie as flower girl going to make them all work though and tbh may be a good idea having my brothers gf as she will be going on maternity leave so i can give her jobs to keep her busy you understand lol
