A wedding is the most important day in every girl’s life. Who better than to help a new bride navigate the many events of her special day than five of her closest besties? But apparently, sometimes even the most well-intentioned friends end up totally dismantling the carefully made wedding plans, From those who unwittingly steal the show to those who just have no sense of boundaries, here are some epic bridesmaid fails that will make you think twice before asking Racy Stacy to be your maid of honor.
Who’s The Weakest Link?
The wedding hasn’t even been officiated and already there’s some infidelity going down because clearly, someone cheated on their diet. What started out as a lovely photoshoot quickly turned sopping wet on account of what appears to be one too many McMuffins. But hey, nobody’s pointing fingers at the bride, of course.
Living Room Set
Does the carpet match the drapes? Maybe not, but these bridesmaids dresses sure do! The owner of the fabric store probably jumped for joy when these ladies purchased an entire roll of this pattern which probably hadn’t been touched since the 1950s.
Party In The Back
We’ve all been there. That momently when you have to awkwardly fidget with your backside while somehow not attracting any attention. It just usually doesn’t happen on our best friend’s wedding day. Clearly, it’s all business up front and party in the back for these maids of honor.
Take Me To Church
Everyone wants to make the bride happy on her wedding, but this bridal party is utterly (and drunkenly) devoted to making her special day LIT. It’s sweet that they want to form a bridge for their newlywed friend to cross, but unfortunately, mojitos don’t mix well with games where you have to prostrate yourself on the floor.
That One Friend
We’ve all got them. That one girl in the group who always has to make it about them. Here in all her floral-shirted glory, this woman’s bridesmaid is effortlessly stealing the show – which is an impressive feat, considering the unique ensembles of this bridal party. But hey, at least she brought the booze. And when it comes to friendship, isn’t that what truly counts?
Didn’t Choose The Thug Life
We have more than a few questions about this pic and we’re probably not gonna get any answers. Is that girl making a gang sign or just praying that whatever’s in the toilet flushes down smoothly? Also, is there some common theme between a flower crown and an official Nets cap? These are the things that keep us awake at night.
Interpretive Dance
A wedding may be about a union of man and wife, but this totally wasted bride’s friends are clearly gonna be there through thick and thin, for better or for worse, whether she’s on the floor of a sleazy dance bar or her own wedding hall. But maybe friends shouldn’t always be so encouraging…the internet never forgets.
Fashion Distraction
We’re sure this bride just innocently thought aqua would be lovely color on her bridesmaids, and rightly so. What she definitely didn’t take into account was the um, custom sizing needs of this particular maid of honor. We’re betting the wedding photographer and the groomsmen didn’t overlook this little fashion faux pas though.
Maid Of Dishonor
There’s nothing like a girl’s best friend. She was there for you when you suffered your first heartbreak at thirteen. She came to your college dorms to eat spicy instant noodles at 3 am. And now, she’s facedown on the dancefloor as you and the love of your life cut your wedding cake! Would you really want it any other way, though?
Here Comes The Side Chick
Well, that was quick! You’d think the groom could wait at least until the wedding was over, but apparently he thinks he’s getting a two for one deal. You can’t really blame this bridesmaid – no one wants to be the bearer of bad news, especially not at your best friend’s wedding. Well, make that ex-best friend.
Party Games
Oy vey. This bridal party clearly started out with good intentions, but research shows that nothing good ever comes from dancing on tabletops. We’re guessing it was some variation on a conga line. Or perhaps the horah.
L’Chaim!
These three were definitely the bride’s sorority sister buddies from back in the day, and it seems they still have yet to master the art of saying ‘no’ to another berry rose mojito. The last thing this wedding needs is for these three to make a drunken toast, but we can pretty much feel it coming.
You Can Find Me In The Tub
They say that friends who bathe together stay together. And judging by this bride and her whopping bridal party of nine, we’d say they’re onto something. Typical bridal shoots take place on the beach or in a field, but why go through the trouble of getting wheat in your hair when you’ve got a perfectly good jacuzzi tub right at home? We can only imagine the afterparty…
Last Minute Errands
Everyone knows brides can be finicky and request all sorts of crazy things leading up to the wedding. This one friend, however, is going above and beyond her humble bridesmaid duties just moments before the reception., and it looks like the groom isn’t really sure how he feels about it.
Friends Til The End
Ladies and gentlemen, behold: the original ride or dies. From their high school days up until their friend’s wedding day, these bridesmaids were as loyal as they come. And now, seeing as their friend has moved on to the next phase in her life, so must they. Clearly no good deed goes unpunished.
One Last Fling
Bachelorette parties are known to be wild and crazy. But usually, the shenanigans involve phallic-shaped necklaces and tequila, not midnight police raids. But hey, at least one of these cops looks like he’s enjoying the party so we doubt anyone went off in handcuffs that evening.
Good Friends VS Best Friends
There are some friends who pose prettily beside you on your wedding day, and then there’s that one who rides another girl inappropriately and basically ruins your entire wedding shoot. The latter, folks, is your best friend. Like it or not, she’s here to make your wedding just a little more naughty.
When You See It
Hmm. No one wants to bother the bride on her special day, but is it possible that one of the bridesmaid’s gown was ordered just a couple of sizes too small? Then again, you can’t blame her for having a very well endowed friend. It just makes for some um, distracting photo moments.
Sneaking On The Job
Uh oh. It looks like this woman’s bridesmaid is slacking on her wedding day duties, and with the best man, no less! Either that or the riverside view is absolutely breathtaking…
Luck Of The Irish
Is it Saint Patrick’s day, or is this lad just having a very, very good night? The best man has got his hands full with these matching bridesmaids, but he looks happy as a leprechaun. We’re not sure about a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but these neon-colored maidens are certainly going to brighten up his night.
Open Bar
Oh wow. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what true friendship looks like. A ride or die girlfriend who’s there to serve up laughs and booze on the most important day of your life. Fellows, if you’re eyeing this Cinderalla, keep an eye out for a trail of broken champagne glasses.
Ominous Occasion
If you want a wedding that’s shrouded in mystery and fear, look no further than these creepy hooded bridesmaid cloaks! These lacy ensembles will add that unique sense of dread to your traditional wedding reception, and ensure that all your guests know something very bad is bound to happen.
‘Tis The Season
These maids of honor should definitely end up on Santa’s nice list, for the sheer fact that they agreed to wear these ridiculous outfits on their friend’s wedding day. We bet you there are going to be some silent nights once this is all over.
If It Clucks Like A Chicken
The three maidens of honor don’t look particularly happy to be holding those hens. And we can imagine the feeling is mutual. I think the question everyone would like answered is what on earth is the theme of this wedding?
Black Eye Affair
Some brides make her guests show up in ridiculous matching ensembles, but not this one! Instead, she opted for a classic dress code of smoky raccoon eyes and tight glittery dresses, complete with cutouts in all the right places. Yea, these bridesmaids look more like overdone mermaids going to prom but hey, to each his own. Ten points if you noticed the bride back there.
Party Like It’s 1999
Whoo boy, that is a LOT of empty bottles. Every bride wants her friends to party with her till the sun comes up, and no one does it better than this 90s queen. She listens to Green Day, rocks Converse sneakers and has a black belt in the art of red cup drinking.
Pretty Fly For A Mama’s Boy
That moment you’re trying to get it on with the maidens of honor and suddenly Mom is right there behind you asking if you’ve tried the lamb meatballs. It looks like our handsome Lothario has got his hands quite full, giving his friend in blue a clear shot at the ladies – though it seems he’s more focused on figuring out where exactly he is.
Double Double Toil And Trouble
Hmm. It’s a close call, but these wedding day looks were either modeled after witches from the 1970s or a very specific wallpaper pattern. Hey, at least there won’t be any competition between the bridesmaids. They all look equally bizarre.
Exodus
That one bridesmaid leading the pack to safety is pretty much the Moses of our times, parting the red sea so that these wanderers may at last reach shelter, hors d’oeuvres, and Pinterest inspired wedding decor.
That’s A Mouthful
This bride and her bridesmaid have a pretty dirty sense of humor. The photo is actually hilarious, but we’re wondering if the families of the married couple will feel the same way. Not exactly PG material.
Wingwomen
This picture calls to mind many things, among them, tacky Halloween costumes and Hillary Duff’s 2003 hit, Metamorphosis. Obviously, these butterflies just aren’t ready for their little caterpillar to sprout wings and fly away. And it’s clear from this photo that the butterfly effect is truly something you have to experience for yourself.
Magic Carpet Ride
You know the expression bring your own bottle? Well, these ladies took guest etiquette one step further and brought their own Persian rug! Can you ask for better friends? Props to their boyfriends for making this exotic experience possible.
Bouquet Ready
Yikes. This girl is either a very questionable quarterback, or way too eager to catch that bouquet. The girl next to her clearly sees she’s out of her league, leaving our girl open for the perfect catch. We just hope her boyfriend is standing around to catch these um, football-sized hints.
The Bridesmaid’s Tale
This bridal party seems to be preparing for the inevitable dystopian future that awaits us all. Either that or they’re enacting a Victorian shame/torture method on this poor bride. It’s all very ‘Scarlet Letter’ of them. Definitely theatre majors, every last one of them.
Girls Over Grooms
Uh oh. Did this slightly too friendly moment happen before or after the bride and groom said their vows? There’s likely going to be some trouble in paradise for the newly married couple. Unless, of course, the groom is on board for all of this. In which case, it should make for an interesting wedding night for all.
Overdressed For The Job
We all have that one friend. You agreed to a casual jeans-and-tee night out, and then she shows up like Beyonce at the Met Gala. You may love her dearly, but so will the wedding photographer.
Addams Family Reunion
Yikes. This alternative crew is not your average Instagram-worthy bridesmaid party. Hopefully, this day isn’t going to haunt the bride for the rest of her life, but we guarantee you this picture will.
Squad Goals
As the Spice Girls famously sang, “If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends.” In the case of this groom, he should probably politely decline and get a restraining order. Because this bride’s crew takes marriage very seriously.
Last Minute Landscaping
They say the friends who spray together stay together. Or at least that’s the case for these two unconventional besties. Keeping your yard attractive on a budget can be a challenge, especially with a wedding to plan, but these two are taking care of it on the down-low. One thing is for sure: this is no garden we’d like to frolic in.
That Look She Gives You When…
There’s way too much going on in this picture, but we can’t help but focus on that one particular bridesmaid who’s staring deep into our souls. Maybe she just made a special connection with the photographer or maybe she’s possessed with the spirit of a creepy Victorian child. We’ll never know!
Mermaid Of Honor
This woman has seen ‘The Little Mermaid’ perhaps one too many times and is determined to make her best friend’s wedding an ocean-themed affair to remember. Sorry to break it you, ma’am, but we’re just not part of your world?
Love Knows No Bounds
Is there such a thing as too much love? Yes. The proof? This claustrophobia-inducing, heart-shaped ring of friends. It’s one thing to be surrounded by loved ones on your wedding day, but it’s quite another when there’s no escape route in sight.
All The Single Ladies
Yikes. We can all relate to the single struggle, but it might be time for an intervention here. While all the bride’s maids are definitely there to eat, drink, and be merry, the girl on the left is taking one of those three commandments a little bit too seriously.
Backup Plan
A picture is truly worth 1000 words. This groom is clearly having some last-minute hesitation and that bridesmaid in her tiny cocktail dress and stiletto heels isn’t helping the situation at all. Does anyone object to this marriage?
Seize The Day
This bride already has a pretty rambunctious bridal party, but her two blonde friends on the left are really stealing the spotlight. It appears that they saw her wedding photoshoot as an opportunity to capture their love as well, and you’ve gotta admit, it makes for some fascinating pictures.
Bridesmaid Duties
A bride’s friends are generally willing to do a lot to help make her wedding day run just a bit smoother. But this pastel-clad crew appears to be taking the extra step to ensure that the groomsmen are feeling relaxed pre-reception.
Little Bo Peep
You know you’ve got a fascinating wedding ahead when the bridesmaids are dressed like characters in a children’s rhyme.
Otherworldly Ceremony
These lovely bridesmaids are perfectly dressed for a wedding on Mars! Although their cooky ensembles are definitely overshadowing their friend’s traditional wedding dress, it’s the thought that counts and they truly went all out to make her wedding day…special.
