This is a somewhat long story.

I originally wasn't going to have a bridesmaid, because we are planning this wedding very quickly and it seemed like too much hassle. Then I realised that I would at least need someone to sign the registry, so I decided to ask a friend who is making a big effort to come from overseas.

I asked my friend last week, and the wedding is May 31st.

She had already bought a pink dress. I hate pink, and our wedding colour is green, so without seeing a picture I hinted that I would like her to wear a green dress. She is a darling, and went out to buy a green dress. She sent me photos of both today, and I actually like the pink dress on her much, much better!!

I know my friend was excited about the pink dress, and now I can see why. She is planning to bring both, so that she can wear the green one at the ceremony, and the pink one at the reception. I don't know what the return policy is where she lives, but if she can return the green dress I think she should wear the pink one all day. We can perhaps put some pink flowers in her bouquet to match.

So. Basically I have three questions:

1. Can I ask her to change her dress AGAIN and suggest she wear the pink one?

2. Is it worth hanging onto a colour scheme?? (For those of you who are married)

3. Don't you think that the green dress is UGLY anyway?

I think the pink dress does look a lot nicer on her than the green dress.  I guess the rest is up to you, and if she can return the dress.  I know most places have a no-return policy on formal wear, so it would depend on where she bought it.

I would definitely go with just the pink. I don't know what the rest of your stuff looks like, but generally pink and green go well together.

I voted for both and the only reason why I did is because she is an awesome friend for having going out to buy another dress for you.  At least she can enjoy both of them that day!
