See-through clothing fears
Stylish looks for a company picnic
Q. I’m getting married in September and I’m a little stuck on my bridesmaid’s colors. We ordered their dresses because we thought the dresses were hot pink, however they are more of a fuchsia. My colors are hot pink, light pink and a summer green. What do I do about the dresses being fuchsia? I soooo don’t know what to do and I’m freaking out. I already bought some hot pink stuff and the flower girl.....her skirt is hot pink.
-Pretty in Pink, Pink and More Pink
A. Wow, you really love pink. If you can’t exchange the dresses, stop fretting. The freaking out will only consume you, bug your fiancé and upset your bridesmaids. I understand and empathize with your problem - biggest day of your life and all - but remember it’s about you and your fiancé getting married and spending your lives together, not the colors matching. You can’t make your bridesmaids buy new dresses. If all the bridesmaids have the same color on, it will look like you intended to have them wear fushchia-one more shade of pink. Say you just couldn’t get enough of all shades of pink. If guest or family member makes a comment, say there was a little snafu, but you just let it roll off your shoulders to enjoy the important experience. And if you want to change something, then get a different skirt for the flower girl.
