Anyone else going to be a pregnant bridesmaid?

Re: Anyone else going to be a pregnant bridesmaid?

  • I was a bridesmaid at 14 weeks! The dress was flowy, which was good, but really unflattering! Not good for my big bust, and the other girls were tiny!!! No big deal tho, attention is on the bride :)

  • Won't be a pregnant bridesmaid, but will be my sister's MOH a couple months after the baby is born. I'm so afraid my body won't bounce back in time or my boobs won't hold up like they used to. If worse comes to worst I will invest in some spanx and a great push up bra ;)

  • I am a MOH in a wedding at the end of October. The dress came in but doesn't fit now (these are the smallest dresses I've ever seen. Ordered a size 16 but it is more like a 10 in regular clothes) I had been on a weight loss trend when we ordered the dresses so I went with the smaller size they quoted, so I don't even know what to do. The dress shop said they can order more fabric but not sure how much. I am calling the seamstress that did my wedding dress to see if she can work some magic.
  • Maid of honor at 29 weeks!
  • @mullenixj As MOH I personally feel you don't have to match the other girls, just fit in (then again, I had my girls all not matching). Talk to the bride, there's no reason you SHOULD have to wear the exact same dress when you're into maternity sizes (unless she's a bridezilla...but that's my personal opinion, I hate when brides are too rigid about their bridal party!)

    I will be not a bridesmaid, but a bride at 29-30 weeks! :)
  • I'm a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding this weekend. I'm 13 weeks, so I'm not so concerned about the dress but getting snacks in between the events of the day!

    MOH at 30 weeks - not going to be getting a matching bridesmaid dress. Instead I am going to get a formal maternity dress closer to the date. So grateful the bride is so accommodating because I was getting really nervous there for a second...
  • I was supposed to be a bridesmaid. I would have been 30 weeks pregnant but the bride just kicked me out when I told her I would be pregnant for her wedding.
  • Glad to hear not all brides are complete Bridezillas!
  • @lyssabee2 seriously!!? Who is the bride? A friend? Or family? That is crazy.
  • I will be in my sister n law wedding in November. This is my first baby so I have no idea how big I will get. I will be 6-7 months. I honestly don't know how to even go about getting the dress size but oh well, we will make it happen.
  • My sisters wedding is next weekend! The dress is ok, she was smart and picked one that poofs out more around the waist and bottom. I'm 14 weeks and I've gained a couple pounds, but nothing too significant. The only thing I'm a lil concerned about is the heat. It's been so hot recently. I will have to drink lots of water. Will probably be all sweaty and gross, but I'm doing it for her! All outdoor wedding. 
  • One of my bridesmaids found out she was pregnant after we already ordered dresses form fitted dresses (upper body). I ordered 1 yard of extra fabric and that took care of it! She was 20ish weeks during the wedding. She looked phenomenal.

    My best friend from grade school- 25 years of friendship. Needless to say, I'm really upset about it still.

    You totally have a right to be. That is so rude!
  • I was just in my cousin's wedding a week ago! The best advice I have is wait until a week or two before the wedding to have your dress altered! It will save you a lot of money. Get really comfortable shoes and have your dress shortened if need me.
  • My cousin did everything she could to make me comfortable including having lunch and tons of snacks ready! Lol
  • Well.. I'm due 28th of jan and I'm meant to be a bridesmaid the 10th of feb.. Whoops! I'm struggling to see how this will work out

    Ugh I'm so sorry. That is so mean/crazy. But it sounds like you will be saving yourself from dealing with a nutcase.

    That's what I am hoping to do too. Order extra fabric and see if a seamstress can add side panels? We'll see...
  • I will be a bridesmaid in late August - I will be 18 weeks. Hopefully won't be rocking too much of a bump at that pt - wasn't really showing much last time at 18 - and dress is flowy so hoping for the best

     

  • I am the Matron of Honor for my sister's wedding at the end of September. I will be 25 weeks by then. We ordered the dress larger and I will just need to get it altered.

    I will be a bridesmaid at 27 weeks.  The dress is formal, with a cinched waist and corset back.  The bride is aware of the situation.  The wedding is several states away so I'm not sure if it will be okay to fly at that time.  Might be road tripping.

  • @Poppy108 Unless you have some medical issue, you should be FINE to fly at 27 weeks by any standards I've ever seen. The earliest I've heard of doctors saying to stop is 30 weeks, with most allowing even later.

    @ CaraBoonie Thank you!!  I keep meaning to ask my midwife but PG brain kicks in during most appointments.  Thanks again!

  • @Poppy108 Definitely still ask to make sure, but unless something medical pops up later on, I doubt she'd keep you from flying at 27 weeks :)

  • What are you guys wearing as far as a bra for your Bridesmaid dresses?

    I need to wear something strapless, but my boobs are far too large to just wear a strapless bra. I considered a corset bra, but I imagine that may be uncomfortable against my belly? Maybe I'm wrong.

    Any suggestions appreciated!
  • I've been wondering the same thing about bras. No way a strapless would work for me either
