And of course, I recognize that being a bridesmaid is such a commitment of time and energy and money. Consider all of these things before you commit, and if you're in a place where logistics is an issue, let the bride know. After all, you are friends (or relatives), and being upfront will make all the difference.
For All you bridesmaids:
Having been part of the bridal party and the wedding planner for so many couples, I can attest to the fact that weddings are chaotic and stressful for all involved. You will see the best and the worst in people, but as a good bridesmaid or maid of honor, you have to be at your best for your friend the bride!! Some things to remember:
Because it really is all about the bride, try not to take things personally and to make it about yourself, or the bridesmaid dress, or what you have going on in your own life. The bride and the whole bridal party will function more smoothly.
You are part of the bridal party- emphasize on “PARTAY!”
You are there to help facilitate the fun!
You will be celebrating with the bride and having a good time throughout the whole wedding process despite whatever obstacles might come your way.
And if you're not already close, the members of the bridal party will certainly get to know each other and become a team united for the bride-to-be. From the bridal shower, to the fittings, to the bachelorette party, you all will develop a rapport and get to know the bride through her closest people.
