How To Be The Best Bridesmaid
Most brides get buried under a mountain of things to do when planning their big day, and often they are too scared to ask for help. They don't want to be a bridezilla, or put you under too much pressure. They want to think they've got it all under control, but the truth is they need help, particularly help they don't have to ask for.
We asked brides of Canberra a simple question "What was the best thing one of your bridesmaids did for you in the lead up to your wedding?" and here's what they said.
Attention to Detail
"My Maid of Honour was just always there. She had a surprise at my hens, made little care packs for myself and the bridesmaids for the day. It was all the little things that helped. She not only looked after me, she also looked after the bridesmaids too." - Corinne
Honest Opinions
"Coming with me for dress fittings. I needed honest opinions and there were too many dresses to choose from." - Kate
Picture Perfect
"My bridesmaid just took care of everything - She researched photos/positions so on the day she was just in charge of us and the photographer and it just ran sooo smoothly - no awkward pauses of wondering what to do next." - Cassie
Loving Leadership
"Mine was a good planner/organiser and kept everyone in the know of what needed to be done and when. Weddings get so hectic and busy! There are too many options! I would have never gotten it done without her saying stuff like '...well the invites have to be ordered today so choose by midnight or i will'" - Tanya
Creative Cake
"She helped me decorate my wedding cake!" - Aodhamair
Care Pack
"One of my bridesmaids made me a bride to be care package that she gave me the night before my wedding full of useful thinks like wine to settle the nerves, a eye patch to get a peaceful nights sleep, a playlist on my iPad and then a survival box full of bobby bins, safety pins, Hollywood tape, Panadol, throat lollies and stain remover wipes. Those stain remover wipes definitely came in handy for me!" - Rebecca
Share Excitement
"Being excited about all the things I was excited about" -Jules
Keep Sakes
"They made me a memory book with messages from each guest and photos. It's a beautiful sentimental keepsake to remember my hen's!" - Tenille
At the end of the day, bridesmaids are there for support and to prevent possible problems. And lets face it, you were always going to do that as one of her bestie's anyway.
