That's what it is to me.
Same to me too!
Quote from nerdgirl :
wtf, she actually SAID that? the statement makes her sound... i don't know, immature and petty? i would never have said that... my friends are beautiful and i was so glad that they looked good! don't worry, do your makeup normally. those requests are ridiculous imo. (you're right - of course it's about her! like, duh!)

and i suppose she doesn't want her wedding to be very fun either...? lol. i was glad that everyone seemed to get tossed at ours. that's what the open bar was for!

yes, that is what i was thinking of as well. i wonder what azn's bride thinks tho.
I am in agreement with you and alvs! I think that's what she wants but I am getting so confused by her emails. shake head

And yes she did! Pretty people make the pictures look prettier! Maybe plain Jane insecurities? She had that statement and even wrote 'pleassssssseeeee' that took up a whole line so we were sure to see it. Kind of thinking bridezilla? T_T

For my wedding, I am paying for the BM's makeup so they can all look pretty! Not the other way around!!

Colors can be weird! People describe them differently sometimes.

i was just in the store and they said it was discontinued. in the most current catalog it looks discontinued as well! they don't have it available in many colors in my size so it looks like it may be on its way out... Frown

maybe you can help assure her that regardless of makeup company, they will ensure that the bride gets the most attention. bridesmaids, while important, are always secondary on a wedding day. they will spend an hour for hair + makeup for a bridesmaid, and 3 hours for hair + makeup for the bride. that's just how it is. (knowing this beforehand as a bridesmaid also helps you not hate the makeup artist when they don't spend as much time on you) i paid for my bridesmaids' hair and makeup - i just wanted them to not have to stress about getting themselves made up. i felt bad that 1 bridesmaid was hot all day tho, bc i had suggested she leave her hair down bc her dress was long (to even out the look - otherwise too formal looking). her curls came out pretty fast bc she was sweating and her hair stuck to her. i should have just let her put it up like the others.

I'm back to stalking Express clearance. Facepalm If anyone sees this http://www.express.com/lurex-mesh...pro#jsLink in XS, please let me know. I tried the cropped version & didn't like it on me. I think this one will look better. *

nerdi, your pics are amazing. I think you chose the right color to begin with. nod I'm probably a little biased, since I had a dark purple & black wedding, but I can't imagine grey could have possibly been as pretty in your pics as the deep purple was.

Quote from azn1x6flame :

Yes, exactly to both! See why I am now frustrated instead of being excited? She also explicitly stated for no one to look prettier or better looking than her cause it's about her not us! That's an obvious, but I was kinda offended! Of course it's about her!!! But does that mean I can't use makeup?!?
That's actually a little sad. It sounds like she's lacking confidence & doesn't know how to express how she feels. At least, I hope that's the case. It's really inappropriate to make a comment like that. She should want you all to look your best. I'd ignore that request & fix my makeup & hair beautifully. Wink


*ETA: It just popped up on the site. bounce I hope it ships.

I don't even know if she will hire anyone for makeup shake head But if she does, I'll definitely keep saying stuff like she's pretty and such. Which is what I just plan on saying when we go dress shopping with her next weekend. I don't mind one bit at all if she does use the makeup people, but I guess I'm fine if I have to pay for my own and not have them spend much time on me. I just don't want them to make me look weird, especially if I'm paying Stick Out Tongue If she pays, I could care less! Stick Out Tongue

Your long dress BM looked pretty! Couldn't tell she was sweating in the pictures!

Are you preparing to jet off to honeymoon land?

Hehe..yeah. I guess it's just one of those things where it's her day, and she wants to make it all about her, and it's her right. You are right about the expression part. Most of her self expression comes in the form of "I don't know" + a shrug. I guess this is one of the situations where though she may be my good friend, I guess people's selfish sides start to come out. Or bother me a lot more. And just recalling some stuff is kind of making me realize all this.

She can do whatever she wants to look pretty. Not my fault if I just do my normal makeup and look better Stick Out Tongue

yes! trying to figure out last minute stuff right now! leaving soon!

yeah it's amazing you can't tell we're sweating. it was so dang hot.

you won't look weird! just ask to look neutral with a naked eye and that's what they'll do. hopefully she'll take your suggestions and use a makeup artist. otherwise she WILL look plain... it helps SO MUCH with standing out in photos. and you shouldn't be worried about your hair falling out - her wedding is probably a great opportunity to test out an updo to see if that's what you might want for your own wedding. (of course, don't tell her it's a test run... lol) they're really good about putting in adequate pins and such - my hair usually falls out of everything and it didn't budge AT ALL. i was so shocked that my curls stayed in till the end of the night (3am) - that's a first!

hopefully she'll realize that she's being silly and of course it'll be about her bc it's her wedding. i think it's really sad that she has this great group of supportive girls that were genuinely excited to help out (or at least, you were!) but that her actions are causing you to be less excited.

if i don't make it back in here, i'll be MIA for awhile! see you guys soon!
