you and your girls
Happy Monday!! One of the best parts of weddings, is the people you choose to share your day with. Choosing your bridal party can sometimes turn very political.. do you ask your future sister-in-laws? What about long lost cousin so-in-so? Do you have three friends or ten? What will the group dynamics be like? Does everyone wear the same dress or pick out their own? You can see the potential drama!! Make sure YOUR wishes are known, choose dear friends that will help and not hinder. Make sure your expectations are expressed in advance. If you had your heart set on everyone coming a few days before the wedding, make sure that is known. Fancy wedding or not, this is the one day of your life where millions of pictures will be taken, so if you want that wild college girlfriend to cover up her tattoos, don’t wait til the day of to talk about it! Everyone should know when and where you want them, what they are wearing, down to the shoes, jewelry and hair. Most bridesmaids want lots of notice if you expect them to give a toast at the reception. Don’t forget to thank them for the showers they throw, the DIY projects they help with and the traveling they often do for you. From hand writing your place cards to decorating for your rehearsal dinner, bridesmaids can be a wonderful asset. Most of our precious friends love to be included, so delegate tasks which are their strengths! Here is some bridesmaid fashion to inspire you this week!!!
