Thats too much!

When a bridesmaid dress goes from being free to $500 - would you be ok with that? #bridemaids #loveandbetrayal #weddingplanning #emotionaljourney #weddingdrama #pov #weddingchallenges #weddingguests #weddingplannerlife #weddingskit

Ouch! She's going back on her word, for starters. Moving along, no it didn't HAVE to be those dresses, she WANTS it to be those dresses. No, she's not paying half, she's paying $200 and they're supposed to suddenly pay $500 - for what was supposed to be a gift. Didn't check the price tags? Well, what did she expect from a "cute little boutique". It ain't JC Penney, sweetheart. Cut back somewhere else and pay the whole bill, or you'll lose some bridesmaids. This is going o be a Bridezilla.

[@crimsonfirelily]

The bride is NOT paying half! She is paying less than a third. No way would I put up with the bullying and going back on her word! Bride is being entitled! Not a Bridezilla yet, but very close in how she spoke with you! ✌️

[@fashiondiva6972]

She’s being very entitled since she’s not only demanding 5 people pay $500/each for dresses they weren’t even supposed to buy themselves, she’s demanding the wedding venue coordinator rubber stamp her selfish idiocy. She’s not just an entitled bridezilla, she’s a math moron to boot🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

[@jonimerchant5954]

the bride has LOSS her mind. Her friends should RUN

[@sevenember3332]

My wedding dress cost less than that ($650)! I’d be dropping out of that wedding party in a heartbeat if I were told I’m expected to pay $500 for a wear-once dress. Either that or I would wear it every time we got together after the wedding. That aside, I prefer to say, “here’s the color, go find a dress.” This situation is the exact reason why it’s unrealistic to want your entire bridal party in the exact same dress, especially when you have more than a couple of people

[@goldengryphon]

That was a lot to unpack. The bride said she would pay for the bridesmaid dresses. Fine. She gets to pick the dresses and pay for them, all the bridesmaids have to do is wear them. Great deal all around - no drama. The bride decides on the absolute perfect dress - but it's way outside her budget. Oops. Not so absolutely perfect after all. Cue the drama. Bride *then* decides that she's only going to pay for $200, not quite 1/3 the price, for EACH dress. That puts the bride's cost at 1k, but everyone else has to chip in $500 for a dress that started out being free. How is that a good deal? Now, the bride getting some push-back on that tries "girl math" (a misnomer and insult if I've ever heard one) to justify the current financial situation *SHE* insisted on - she's paying $1k, so all everyone else has to pay is $500, which is half of her *total* contribution. But still more than 2/3 the cost of the dress per person. And, because she's a winning person all over, the bride has decided that, since you're the event coordinator and she's paying you to do a particular job, that you're supposed to be "Yes-Men" for whatever she decides is a good idea. I.E. she's alienated her entire bridal party and is trying to pull the "I'm paying you to be my friend and agree with everything I say" card. Little does she understand that she has a specifically and precisely worded contract that states you are NOT her friend and you ARE her event site. This is a Bridezilla wanna-be. Unless someone intervenes, the wedding will either be a horrible mess with bad feelings through-out or a complete failure - as in it won't happen .

If it was me, I'd tell her she didn't ask me first if I would pay the balance after telling me she'd pay for the whole dress, that I can't afford $500, so she now has one less bridesmaid...& most likely one less friend as she's selfish, so she'll get mad & cut me off. No great loss, IMO. Editing to add: something tells me she's just type to have found those dresses before that outing & knew how much they cost...she had to have them, so she "arranged" all that to trick them into buying them for her wedding.

[@goldengryphon]

And she didn't even look at anything after that. I'm with you. I can't afford that. I couldn't afford $200. Not now, not for a great friend or even family member. Sorry. I have bills and a life. Whether she was sneaky and back-handed about it, she didn't bother to check to see if anyone could pay the remaining amount after she'd paid the deposit. No, thank you. The dress is just the start of the trip to Delulu Land. It goes downhill fast.

[@sandybruce9092]

Even $500 for a dress thst will,probably never get worms again is ridiculous! I’d wave to the Bride while I was saying good bye! I was my sister’s Matron of Honor in June 1972 - I haven’t a clue what my dress cost (it’s almost 55 years ago!!!) but I’m sure it wasn’t ridiculous! I was finishing college (I was on the long-term plan as I was paying for everything myself!) and I still needs to buy some shoes (which I did wear lots later on!). Bruce said she would pay - should have checked the price before or told the girls how much she was willing to put forth!

[@themermaidstale5008]

The bridesmaids haven’t signed any contract with the boutique for dress payment. Bride can kiss her non refundable deposit ta-ta. Bridesmaids dresses aren’t that important.

[@cynthiaoconnor7185]

This bride is too entitled and cray-cray. She's going to end up with NO bridesmaids at all and she'll probably blame them, too. She's only calling Lucette because her friends are her bridesmaids and now she has no one to gripe to. I hope there's a follow up video showing her comeuppance.

[@HorseLady1109]

No, the bride is not getting it. I would have dropped out. Not everyone can afford $500 for a dress.

[@themermaidstale5008]

Bridezilla incoming! She’s stretching to find someone who will tell SHE’s RIGHT and the bridesmaids are wrong. Not gonna happen.

[@lisap2405]

That is what I dislike about do many women (haven't seen it in men by now): Asking for a third party advice just to discuss your opinion if it doesn't align with theirs. I mean if you only ask to have someone on your side then ask your mirror... I can understand that this bride loved these dresses ultimately but still 500 dollars is such a huge amount of money that it can get people into big trouble. I mean this is a month of rent in some cities

[@CS-ys4sy]

If the price is wrong, it's not the right dress. Omg I just got to the part where she put a deposit!! Omg!!!!

[@Ater_Draco]

I'm surprised Australia doesn't follow the UK in this tradition. The bridesmaid dresses are part of the wedding budget. Brides and grooms pay for them. It's seen as chavvy to ask the bridesmaids to pay for their own gowns

[@elvisneedsboats3714]

I wish these stories were just make believe but I know that at this very moment, someone somewhere is pulling this crap!

[@VioletHarmony]

Hello, Delulu Police? We’ve got a live one 🚨

[@rickbethwhite3479]

My daughter, when she was a teenager, was asked to be a bridesmaid and when i found out how much the dress and shoes would cost, i had to tell my daughter and bride-to-be, sorry, cant afford it. Tbe bride had 4 other bridesmaids anyways, and at the wedding when my daughter saw the bridesmaids' dresses, she was glad i couldn't afford it, because she didn't like those dresses and would have felt very embarrassed to wear a dress with a big bow just above her bottom.

[@lysandrarenshaw3584]

My take on this is why not look for the same dress design, she might find somewhere cheaper like shein or something? 😅

[@davidknight3249]

Wow.., entitled much?

[@AnniekinsMyshkamouse-r4j]

Nope, discuss it. Cut the number to increase the amount paid. Find another dress. Not proper to do it this way. Lisette is not your counselor.
