hi have a talk to her and say that you are happy for her to give you her opinions on things. but tell her politely that it is your wedding so you have the final decision and if she cant understand that then you might have to ask her not to be a bridesmaid unless she is willing to abide with your choices

Time to have a chat. Whether you're willing to compromise is up to you,but you need to let her know that you and your groom make the decisions,not her and if she can't rein it in,maybe it would be better for her to step aside

To talk her, but make it clear it's ur wedding not hers, I had 6 bridesmaids, 3 Small and 3 between 13-22, as they were older they all grey dresses but different styles to suit them, maybe it's a body issue with the dress and hopefully will be sorted soon x

Its your wedding if she doesn't like what you choose then get rid of her. Sorry to be so blunt x

You need to try and put your foot down. Explain how this person is making you feel by taking over your special day and politely tell her to back off in a nice way. If that fails, then you will have to just get tough and really tell them to back off. After all its your day and you only plan on doing this once, so why should it not be as special as you always wanted. Other guests should be grateful that they are a part of the celebrations really. Good luck!

Just talk to her, she may not feel comfortable in the dress you have chosen. But at the end of the day it's your wedding and if she's going to be funny about it then might have to re think your decision. This is why I'm glad I've only got 2. One big one little. Hope you sort it out x

Find a picture of the most horrible bridesmaid dress you can find on google, save that picture and then go to her...
"you have 2 options!! Wear the dress that has already been chosen or wear this (the bad dress) there is no third option this is my wedding not yours"
I have 3 bridesmaids and I asked them what they would like to wear and all 3 said its your wedding we will wear what you tell us to wear! If she kicks up a fuss then say you can wear the dress and be a bridesmaid or wear what you want and be a guest instead x

Tell her to fit in or f**k off. Tell her the rest of your maids have agreed on the dress and if she doesn't like it she can downgrade herself to an evening guest if she wants to wear her choice.

I have just lost a bridesmaid and a flower girl because she liked nothing i picked.

Tell her it is your day not hers. If she doesn't want to wear what you have picked then she is no longer a part of the bridal party.
