I would also be upset. I would address it by sitting down with her (calmly!) and saying "I thought that we were very close friends and while I am disappointed that I'm not one of your bridesmaids, I'm more disappointed that you weren't able to tell me about it directly. I thought our friendship was strong enough that we could be straight and honest with each other about something like this". And then, look on the bright side. You don't have to pay big bucks for a dress and shoes you won't wear again. You didn't have to put on a shower or a bachelorette party or invest funds into any of that. You get the same food/drinks/entertainment at the wedding that they get, without the heavy financial investment.
