Bridal Party Requirements

Many brides overlook the bridal party at the early stages of the planning process, however do this at your peril. Not only will they affect how the pictures look, but they play a key role in keeping you sane during the lead-up to the big day and during the day itself. They help the day run smoothly by taking on many of the major jobs, none more so than the best man and maid/matron of honour.

Although originally the bridesmaids were there to divert evil spirits away from the bride by dressing like her, today it is a chance for you to share the biggest day of your life with some of your closest friends and family.

The first step is to choose who you want to be fill each role. Most brides and grooms will already have a good idea of who they want for each job. Some brides will consider how the bridesmaids will look together for the photographs but friendships should take priority. The same is true for your other half when choosing the best man. Ideally he would consider those friends who are comfortable making speeches. The most important thing is that you have your nearest and dearest there with you on your big day.

Once the relevant people have been chosen, you will need to decide on what they are going to wear. Cheap bridesmaid dresses should complement the bride’s dress and yet suit the bridesmaids’ body shape and colouring.

Shoes can be used to even out their heights (for the pictures) and should be appropriate for the locality (grass, beaches etc) while remaining comfortable. Jewellery and accessories should match the bridesmaids’ features and dresses without overshadowing yours.

Finally you will also need to decide on whether or not you are going to give bridal party gifts which can be a bit of a minefield in itself.
