40+ Bridesmaids Who Didn’t Know These Were Fails Until Way Too Late

No wedding is fool-proof. Fortunately for us, these mistakes were caught on camera and have allowed us and the rest of the world to have an epic laugh.

Could’ve Easily Turned Into a Something Else

What’s a bachelorette party without a few ding dongs and plonkers? It’s completely fine to ask a friend to help in arrangements that will give the bride a wild night. Although, the last person you would want to whisper to about a hen’s party is your husband. This bridesmaid must have been exhausted because she sent the text to the wrong person.

Could’ve Easily Turned Into a Something Else

When You Order From Wish

Weddings are expensive! There’s no denying that. So it’s okay to cut expenses for things like flowers — or porcelain centerpieces instead of glass. However, there are a few brides who have had it with the idea of wedding extravaganza and order their prized wedding dresses online.

When You Order From Wish

This one bride, awed by the glamour and charm of a sequin and netted wedding gown, lived to see a somewhat different version of the gown. Looks like gold is the new white!

E for Effort

Weddings naturally consist of a bazillion tasks so it’s only natural that something may slip your mind as a bridesmaid. Speaking of which, it seems as though these bridesmaids might have forgotten to bring (or buy) “Just Married” décor for the bride and groom.

E for Effort

So, it’s a good thing the car hadn’t been washed just yet! How else would they have drawn up the sign? Zero effort but at least everyone gets to know that these two lovebirds are officially married. This is probably one of the (many) reasons wedding planners are hired.

Just Dab Some Makeup on It

When you realize that your wedding is in a week, the pressure typically gets to you. The best way to cool off from the wedding paranoia is to sunbathe for a while, and forget all your troubles.

Just Dab Some Makeup on It

The only way for this relaxing idea to backfire is to lose track of time. The result? Tan lines — or a sunburn, in this case — across your neck and shoulders for the world to see! Hopefully, a dab of concealer will do the trick.

Just Order a New Cup

Baristas take more than a dozen orders in minutes. So, with that, it’s likely for them to spell or misunderstand names here and there. This is typically taken lightly by customers. What happens when one of these customers turns out to be a bride?

Just Order a New Cup

All hell breaks loose! Hopefully, this bridesmaid had the brains to order a new cup of decaf nonfat latte with caramel drizzle instead of calling the bride the name of what is otherwise a tall masculine man.

Need a Tail?

It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a romper or a gown; no matter how ridiculous and difficult it is to pee while wearing a certain kind of outfit, you have to finish the task! Thankfully, this wedding bride ordered a decent peach dress with an easy portal.

Need a Tail?

The bridesmaid still managed to ruin the wedding by dragging along a tail of toilet paper. What surprises us is the fact that she doesn’t notice it whatsoever.

Fasten Your Seatbelts

History has declared time and time again that although delicious, cakes can be temperamental. The frosting can stick to the box, the icing can melt, the cake can crumble — all sorts of things can happen!

Fasten Your Seatbelts

It is the sacred duty of the bridesmaids to keep the bride and the cake in one piece — at least until the groom says “I do.” This bridesmaid will never again forget to fasten a seatbelt.

Take a Whiff

Wedding photographs are never complete unless you have a thousand pictures in hundreds of different styles. Half of these pictures are often deleted because they don’t meet the bride’s standards.

Take a Whiff

Take this awkward photo, for instance. This poor bridesmaid tried her best to look natural whilst sniffing her bouquet of flowers, but it didn’t really go as planned. Then again, we guess the bride liked the picture enough to keep it —  ya know, for laughs.

She She Yaaaas!

While this soon-to-be fiancé sweat in horror at the thought of being rejected, it was up to the best man and maid of honor — a.k.a. the best friends — to comfort him before popping the question.

She She Yaaaas!

They decorated the room with balloons and banners but rather than ordering the usual, “She said yes,” the maid of honor made a little boo-boo when she bought a double “she.”

Ultimate Wipeout

Every girl dreams of walking down the aisle with her bridesmaids following in suit. The only thing that could go wrong is tripping and falling flat on your face in front of all the guests.

Ultimate Wipeout

Or, ya know, slipping down the stairs in five-inch heels during your entrance! That’s right — this poor bridesmaid fell in front of a live audience. Maybe she’ll remember this moment the next time she chooses shoes she can’t wear. At least it wasn’t the bride!

Words of Encouragement

As a bridesmaid, there will come a time when the bride comes to her for a little encouragement. Perhaps she’s feeling a little insecure about her weight or appearance, and needs some reassurance from her pal.

Words of Encouragement

So, she texts you for some words of encouragement. And instead of making her feel better, this bridesmaid made an accidental typo! Good thing this bride has a good sense of humor!

You Had One Job

Bridesmaids are often considered angels as they’re there to do all the work so the bride can feel very little pressure. They taste cakes, make decisions, and help out with hundreds of other wedding tasks.

You Had One Job

They also help out with snacks at the engagement party — or, in this case, they try to. The particular bridesmaid had one job, and that was to provide the popcorn for the party…

Wrong Foot?

Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful, so it’s understandable that the bride may get a bit overwhelmed at times. What happens, though, if one of the bridesmaids accidentally messes up the decorations?

Wrong Foot?

You try to forgive and forget? At least, that’s what we hope the bride did when her maid of honor unintentionally stepped on the chalkboard decoration before it was seasoned.

Photogenic Bridesmaid

RBFs are cool if you’re an introvert. You always look annoyed so people end up staying away — and you’re perfectly okay with that. However, when it comes time for a wedding, it’s better to practice your poses and be aware of your facial expressions at all times.

Photogenic Bridesmaid

Too bad this bridesmaid didn’t realize what her resting face looked like for the entirety of the wedding. Better practice your expressions in the mirror for the next wedding!

Surprises Aren’t Always Good

It’s always fun to surprise the bride. Then again, these surprises need to be well thought out before consulting with the rest of the gang. This bridesmaid didn’t really think things through before throwing confetti at the bride during her exit.

Surprises Aren’t Always Good

Unsurprisingly, it didn’t turn out as she expected. Instead, she was left with one angry bride bathed in a bunch of yellow and red confetti.

Olympics Preparation

These kids were probably once part of the cheerleading team and are trying to relive their days of glory. Their effort for building a human pyramid is impressive, but truth be told, this isn’t appropriate just to take a wedding photo.

Olympics Preparation

You’re paying for a wedding, and you’re most likely in debt. You probably don’t want any legal trouble when a bridesmaid slips and breaks her back and maybe an arm. Hope you kids were safe. Sigh!

Golf vs. Gold

Wedding shoes are timeless! From ancient traditions, women — whether it’s the bride, the bridesmaids, the mother, or a random guest — high heels are vital for certain occasions.

Golf vs. Gold

This maid of honor asked the bride if she wants the bridesmaids to wear gold shoes with their dresses. However, she must have been watching a golf tournament whilst sending the text. Classic mistake. Imagine if all the bridesmaids ended up wearing golf shoes instead?!

Diving Down

It’s part of the bridesmaids’ duties to make sure that the bride has the best wedding day possible. While their sacrifices are always appreciated, they can’t be fully trusted, especially when they’re drinking.

Diving Down

This gang of bridesmaids wanted their best friend to cross the bridge to a new life with a loving husband. Unfortunately, they didn’t really think it through and ended up forming a bridge using their own bodies.

Failed Surprise

It’s inherent in every bridesmaid to surprise the bride with parties and fun. The ultimate goal is to pump up the bride and keep her happy when she’s dealing with the stress of planning a wedding.

Failed Surprise

This bridesmaid, unfortunately, put everything on the line when she texted the wrong person. Yeah — Marissa is the bride. You were not supposed to tell her about the “thing.” Bad save, too! If the other bridesmaids find out, you’re out of the gang, Jenn!

Sister Woes

It’s always sweet to plan surprises for the bride, especially when it’s the bride’s family doing so. However, oddly enough, the sister of the bride must have hit her head on something.

Sister Woes

Why else would she be so bold to have her sister — a.k.a. the bride — ask their mom what day they were planning her bridal shower for. It’s cool that she tried to ease out the situation. But still, guess what? No more hiding!

Star Wars Fan, Anyone?

History has some pretty fascinating pairs of bridesmaids’ gowns. While some look like models ready to walk the ramp in New York Fashion Week, there are other bridesmaids that resemble a church choir.

Star Wars Fan, Anyone?

Then again, from the looks of these dresses, it could be possible that the bridesmaids have landed on Earth from planet Terminus. If you look more closely, you can see they could be perfect bridesmaids for Princess Leia’s wedding. If only they had the buns…

Teletubbies Hats Wanted

It’s okay to have one bad picture in which your RBF was evident. This, however, does not look like a happy wedding. Every one of them, including the bride, looks miserable.

Teletubbies Hats Wanted

And honestly, if we didn’t know any better, we’d think that these ladies were off to the spring fling. Were the blue and yellow stripes intentional?

Winter Wedding

Have you ever seen bridesmaids dress up for winter weddings? Yes, they look exactly like summer weddings — same dresses, same hairstyles.

Winter Wedding

This wedding picture probably looks like it was taken in the ‘80s — and that’s because it was. The fur gowns look like a blend of winter coats and wedding gowns. At least the bride is wearing a typical wedding gown.

Football Match, Anyone?

Know the reason why brides have only a handful of bridesmaids? Most often because they can’t afford the ridiculously expensive wedding dresses. Not this couple, though. They turned 80 girls into bridesmaids and managed to get them all the same bridesmaid dress.

Football Match, Anyone?

If all of these are bridesmaids, then who knows how many people they have actually invited for the wedding…

Wedding vs. Funeral

Remember that goth phase in middle school when teenagers made an effort to look different? They used to adorn themselves in black and plaid outfits with black lipstick, eyeliner, and lots of mascara. Then, they’d scream at their mom about how it’s not a phase.

Wedding vs. Funeral

We have three guesses — this bride made her bridesmaids wear black so that her own gown could really pop, she has some friends who still haven’t gotten out of their goth stage, or and number three, her friends came to her wedding straight from a funeral.

Dance Until You Drop

After all the planning is over and done with, and it’s time to enjoy the actual wedding day, it’s no surprise that everyone — from the guests to the bride and groom themselves — lets loose.

Dance Until You Drop

Sometimes a little too loose, in this case. Whether these bridesmaids had a little too much to drink or were just overly excited about their best friend getting married, it’s clear that they’re (literally) going down.

Wedding Pet Policy

Well, this next wedding fail is an interesting one. We’re not sure how an iguana fits into a wedding or if it’s the pet of the groom, who’s laughing in the back, but we can at least tell that the bride is remorseful.

Wedding Pet Policy

Then again, who wouldn’t be if they saw one of their wedding guests getting clawed?

Run Like the Wind

Let’s be real — photographers go to extreme lengths to capture stunning wedding shots. Why not try these out yourself with your fantastic group of bridesmaids? They’re here to roll in the dirt and eat mud if it means the bride will be happy.

Run Like the Wind

Bridesmaid Janessa James is here to let her best friend’s gown flow like a dove for the perfect shot even if it means diving headfirst into — you can work out the rest. She’s camouflaged, too!

To the Rescue

This is probably one of the kindest pictures to make the list. When a bridesmaid fails, her fellow comrade comes to the rescue to make sure that the show goes on.

To the Rescue

The picture features a bridesmaid that has fainted during a wedding and no other than her partner in crime came rushing to her side with a bottle of water. That’s what best friends are for!

Wedding Rumble!

Weddings are blessings. It is a blessing not only for the bride and groom, but for everyone around them as well. There’s a ritual that involves the bride throwing her flower bouquet at her bridesmaids to catch.

Wedding Rumble!

It is believed that whoever catches the bouquet will get married next. By the looks of the picture, the future husband of this bridesmaid will have his hands full!

Caped Bridesmaids

Capes don’t define heroes. Bridesmaids are nothing less than heroes, and they definitely don’t need any capes. These cape-wearing bridesmaids are explicitly proving the fact that heroes don’t always need to wear capes.

Caped Bridesmaids

Your wedding attire should be eye-catching and fashionable, but don’t try anything that has the potential to take away the day and make it look like something else!

Where’s the Bouquet, Ladies?

As mentioned before, throwing the bouquet during the wedding ceremony is a ritual and tradition that many people do.

Where’s the Bouquet, Ladies?

These bridesmaids are ready to get married next, and they’re trying their best to catch the bouquet. The only problem is, there’s no bouquet! It’s clear that they’re posing for a picture, but it’s so….fake!

So Many Things Wrong!

Mustaches fit best on a man’s face. No, we’re not saying that these ladies look ugly with their faux mustaches but the fake facial hair is not necessarily the greatest fashion statement.

So Many Things Wrong!

Also, what’s up with the dresses?! No one wants their bridesmaids to look like different flavors of ice-creams on their special day.

Oh, the Heat! (Or Not)

While weddings are fun and blessings for the bride and groom, there are so many awkward moments happening all the time! Just like in this wedding. The bridesmaid just faints as the newlyweds share a kiss — but, why?

Oh, the Heat! (Or Not)

A more concerning question is, why is no one bothered by the fact that the poor girl fainted? So many questions! Answers? We might not get any!

Birds With Same Feathers

Weddings are the perfect place to capture some truly special moments — but not like this! The bride is the most beautiful woman in that event, and she should have the best pictures as memories, hoping she doesn’t have to take these pictures again in her life.

Birds With Same Feathers

Now, the bridesmaids’ job is to look after the bride before the wedding and tell her what she should and shouldn’t do. If these bridesmaids can’t stop the bride from taking this picture, then they failed at the one single job they had!
