So to ensure that you’re up to the challenge check out our top tips for bridesmaid success:You need to get organised early on. As soon as the wedding date is set get started on your pre-wedding event planning. This includes venue, entertainment and logistics planning for the Hens party. If your bride is keen to establish her collection of homewares it may include a kitchen tea as well. You need to provide constant support to the bride throughout the planning period particularly to provide emotional support during this challenging time. If you can pitch in and be proactive during the planning stage the bride will appreciate it. Whatever tasks there are that need doing such as getting invitations printed, selecting flowers, organising seating arrangements, and helping choose readings for the ceremony, it is your job to assist with a positive attitude. Hair, make-up, shoes and the choice of accessories are another area of specialty for a bridesmaid. Again, honesty is crucial. No bride wants to turn up to her wedding looking completely unlike herself. So if you think that things are headed in that direction it is your responsibility to say something. Although many of your official duties end after the wedding ceremony it is important that you stay close to the bride and are attentive to her every need throughout the reception. Minor tasks such as applying touch ups to the bride's hair and make up, helping her to meet and greet guests, and keeping her dress train off dirty surfaces even helping out in the powder room if the bride requires it - all go a long way in helping things run smoothly. Have fun. It is an honour to be a part of a bridal party and the the best opportunity to help celebrate one of the most important days in your friend's life so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to let loose on the dance floor and enjoy yourself.
