Bridesmaid and Pregnant
My best friend asked me to be her bridesmaid over 12 months ago. I just found out I am pregnant with baby #2 and will be roughly 7 months along for the big day. I am nervous about telling her because I don't want her to feel like I've ruined her day. She's had a few things happen recently which haven't been what she's planned for her big day, so I've held off telling her until 'the time is right'. Should I trust she'll be happy with my news or have I put another link in her day?

Hi Kathleen, rest assured that you aren't the first and you most certainly won't be the last pregnant bridesmaid! Most stores, including us, have maternity styles. We also customer tailor most of the styles we have in the store to accommodate a baby-on-board. Please tell your Bride that you are pregnant as soon as you can as this is exciting news and she is your best friend.

Hi there,
I would love to talk you through how we could help you by custom making a perfect style of dress to wear on the day, so that you look gorgeous and won't feel like you're letting her down in any way. I understand what you are struggling with here, but I assure you that as along as you have something beautiful to wear, that fits you perfectly and is in line with the other bridesmaids, that it would be ok.... : )
If you could contact me on my profile and I will go through what I have in mind and how can easily help you with this.

Congratulations! I also agree with Wild Violet :). Tell her and have a plan B for your dress (we can help you there) and some suggestions to make the day easy for both of you ready when you do. This will make her feel you are still giving her wedding all the importance it deserves. All the best.
I agree completely with "Wild Violet", great advice! :)

Firstly, congratulations on bub number 2! I would hope she is happy for you, shes your best friend afterall. Weddings are stressful events but with this much notice i should think it wont be an issue. 7 months is not too far along that you won't look and feel beautiful in the right gown. You most likely won't be up for all the duties that come along with being her maid though- I'm thinking hens night and photos for hours on the big day. Be honest with her and tell her now to save the surprises closer to the date.
