The modern bridesmaids






I was going through google trying to figure out what it means to be a bridesmaids  in images. I remember  watching a real wedding  on reality tv last year where two bridesmaids  didnt get along and it was stressful  to the bride. She had her planning  challenges  to deal with for her big day and the fact that two people  in her line  up just didn't like each other. One was her childhood  friend and the other was the one who introduced her to the groom. In the end she chose her mother for her best maid and the two just learned to get along  before her big day.

It might be the bride's day but having girls she can get along with is really important  for her own  peace of mind. I  am in a local facebook group where one  of the bridesmaids  felt the bride was indecisive on designs, color and cut of their dresses. She felt she had enough  of this and decided  in social media to declare  she'll  wear her choice for the day and not the bride's.  The response  she got from the comments section  was clear enough that many  believe its the brides decision  that should rule the day.



That made me realise that its important  to be good friends with the bride to be on her line up. You always  want the best for a friend and probably  you can encourage  her ideas and corporate  with them. The  planning  process is fun for the bride when she has the support  of her bridesmaids.  Imagine wanting to do spar treatment with her maids and even relaxing by the pool, might be all she needs to do with her girls to continue  enjoying  the planning  process.



More brides want something  different  for their big day. Whether she decides she wants her maids to have personalized  robes  that identify  her from the maids or even t-shirts, caps, bridesmaids  to wear tailored  ankara dresses, the  traditional  bridesmaids  dresses  or even suits to  her line up. These looks mean alot to a bride. When communicated well in advance, she can have happy girls at her line up. In the past when you were selected  to be a bridesmaids,  all you needed to do was get your measurement for dress taken pay up for the dress, shoes and make up and then wait for the big day and be done with  the event.  The  modern  bridesmaids, alot falls in  your plate. Next time we'll  continue  from there.

ps: the pics were all from google. I dont own any of them.
