    I am my sisters MOH in her September wedding. I'm aiming to lose 60lb by my birthday in August so as a plus I'll look great for her wedding. She has Cyan, Electric Blue and Indigo as her colours (for the grammar nazi's that word is not spelt wrong I'm an Aussie and we spell it with an U) for BM dresses and I want to do justice to the dress, plus the groom's sister hates me and I wanna look better then her. She is mad she isn't MOH and has already made snide comments on how I'll look in the photos.

    I am being a bridesmaid for the first time this year at the age of 42! The other bridesmaids are 2 young teens and a twenty something size 10. I'm hoping to get from a large (UK) size 18 to a 14 or small 16 by May! :bigsmile:

    I've been a bridesmaid quite a few times in the last couple years. Unfortunately most of my friends and sister decided to get married when I was at my weight high. lol By the way bridesmaid dress sizing is different than regular sizing. Be prepared for the number to be 1-2 sizes bigger. (They should totally vanity size those suckers). Do NOT order smaller thinking you will fit into it by then. Not a good idea, they can usually let out maybe an inch but alterations are very expensive and it's cheaper to take in then take all the seams out to let out. And you don't want the big day to arrive and you have to tell the bride that your dress doesn't zip. I always had a problem because I have a smallish waist and big hips so to accomodate the hips I'd have to order really big where it was falling down on top, so alteration city. My brides were usually good at letting the bridesmaids decide on dresses, we did all wear the same one but came to a consensus and she had the color and the final vote. Trying them on is hard to see what works since they usually only have gowns in size 6 or so, so they let you try it on with the back open and you can't really tell how it will fit. lol I just figure it is their pictures so if they pick dresses that make the maids look ugly, we will ruin their pictures not ours. As long as you don't "tag" me in the unflattering ones, I don't care. :) And spanx is hard to get on and off when you really have to pee quick.

    I am co-chief bridesmaid for my twin sisters wedding on August 4th! We bought our dresses last july, they are very flattering and suit all 3 of us even though we are all completely different. I chose a uk12, I am usually a uk16 so my aim is to fit into the dress. My sister is also a bit of a bridezilla but I am forgiving her because as we share a birthday this is truly 'Her Day'

    We are all so excited as she's the first to marry so I am determined to look good at her wedding! I'm growing my hair even though I love it short and I am in the process of going back to being a brunette as she doesn't want me to have red hair.

    Before we bought the dresses her fiance joked that she should buy the dresses smaller than we all are and if we don't fit into them then we can't come to the wedding!

    Did I mention my twin is a size uk6!!!!

    I am not a bridesmaid this year. However, I am the wedding coordinator for my cousin's wedding in July. I am feeling a lot of pressure. I will have alot of running around to do that week and especially that day. She is getting married at a botanical garden so there is a lot of ground to cover. I just recently was able to start back going grocery shopping so I have WORK TO DO. I believe we all can do it ladies. It will be so great to look the way you want to in the pictures. Thanks to the bride, you will see those pics almost everyday for months to come after the wedding, : )

    I'm going to be one in July 14th and I would love to be part of this support group. My ultimate goal is 25-30 lbs by the time I turn 30 next January, but for the wedding I'm thinking of it in terms of dress size rather than worrying about reaching my weight goal by then. We tried on dresses in October, but I think the official fitting to order the dresses is March (the dresses can be taken in up to, I believe, 3 sizes before the wedding). When we tried them on the first time I fit into an 8, but I'd love to be at least a 6 by the wedding.
