Choosing the Right Bridesmaids

Choosing your bridal party is one of the best parts of getting married. More than likely your bridesmaids are friends you have known and loved for years, or sisters that you want to share your special day with. If you already have your bridal party in place before you even get the ring on your finger then a lot of weight is taken from your shoulders and your bridal party probably already knows their roles. On the other hand, some brides have a hard time narrowing down the lineup. Its difficult telling one friend no and some friends yes. Hurting the feelings of someone you care about can cause a wide ripple of repercussions. So what do you do? Below are some tips to help you choose the best bridesmaids for your big day. Choose Quality over Quantity Its a common theme in fashion. Youre always supposed to choose quality over quantity. Instead of buying several cheap dresses which may not last until the next season, buy a couple dresses that will turn heads and always keep their shape and color. The same thing can be said for choosing your bridesmaids. Dont pick your bridesmaids just because you dont want to leave anyone out. It may end up costing you more money in the long run. Choose quality bridesmaids you want in your party. These bridesmaids will be the ones helping you through it all and you should trust them enough to hand over the steering wheel if things get tricky. Having a few close friends or family members as part of your bridal party will help you feel at ease and calm when the big day comes. Choose People you Trust Your big day has been planned, packaged, and perfected over the course of months or years. The checklist is ready and you have everything under control. Unfortunately a checklist doesnt mean things will go according to plan. In fact, things may very well go the exact opposite of your polished checklist. Thats when youll be glad you have a gang of bridesmaids you can trust to get in the trenches and figure out how to fix any problem which may arise. Having a group of friends you can trust to help you get through your big day smoothly is extremely important. Being able to trust your bridesmaids to get any assigned task accomplished will save you a lot of stress on the day. At the end of the day its all about having your best friends at your right hand to both help you through the tough parts and celebrate the amazing parts with you. Choose a Steady Group There are a lot of opinions about weddings but one thing should be true your big day should be about you and your new husband or wife.  So why not choose a group of people you know will stick with that focus and help make sure the day is special for you? Weve all heard horror stories about bridesmaids. They want to be the center of attention, they dislike another bridesmaid, the dress doesnt fit right, and they should be the ones getting married! Having a bridesmaid like that can make or break your big day. Why not look ahead and choose the most cohesive group? Steady bridesmaids will make sure the day is all about you and help out when needed. Having zero drama with your bridal party is one of the best presents they can give you.
