# 1 - New Look for Bridesmaids.
- A favorable change from the past
Centuries ago, the bride wore colorful elaborate gowns, and the bridesmaids wore
similar gowns as the bride to disguise her from being kidnapped or to protect her from
evil spirits. As times changed, brides stood out in the crowd by wearing a white gown
(Victorian era), but the bridesmaids didnt change and still wore fancy, frilly colorful
dresses. The attire for bridesmaids has taken a dramatic, positive change in the new
Millennium. Dressmakers have responded to the cries of bridesmaids by offering
sophisticated styles and colors that mix and match. Many brides request their bridesmaids
to select their own dress based on a color scheme and other guidelines. Today, bridesmaids
can enjoy elegant dresses that can be worn to other events, such as a New Years party or
black-tie event. If you decide to let the bridesmaids select their dress, schedule a
dress rehearsal at least one month before the wedding so any adjustments in taste can
be made. At the same time, if the bride prefers all of the bridesmaids to wear the same
dress, then she has every right to say so without objection.

# 2 - How many bridesmaids to pick. Do we have
to have the same number of ushers?
- The wedding attendants (both
bridesmaids and ushers) is an option depending if you want to have
a small or large wedding. Bridesmaids and ushers are not required for small weddings.
Why have them? You want a grand affair with special people represented and sharing
your planning process. Use them to help in the planning and on the day of the wedding.
Keep in mind, the more attendants, the more effort on your part to keep them posted
with attire, behavior and help. You dont want to add to your stressyou want help.
The 2006 Bride and Groom can chose a disproportionate number of bridesmaids and ushers. The attendants dont have to walk arm and arm as a couple. Some brides even select two maids of honor,
and the groom may also select two best men. Many brides are selecting their mother
as their matron of honor. You decide what you like. What are the responsibilities
of each of the wedding party? You make the list, but here are some tips that you
can delegate.
# 3 - Children in the wedding party- Flower girls and ring bearers
are a joy to have on your wedding day. Just a couple of things to keep in mind.
Select children between the ages of five through seven. Any younger, and it may be
challenging to keep them still and able to follow directions. Also, they may end
up with stage fright and cry during the ceremony. Usually the mother of the children
pay for the dress or tuxedo and shoes. The bride normally provides the basket with
flowers and pillow for the rings. During a long ceremony, have the children sit with
someone (parents are best) in the front row. If the marrying couple have their own
children, they dont have to feel obligated to make them a part of the wedding party.
If older, give them meaningful responsibilities such as greeting the guests at the
guestbook table, or passing out wedding programs or bubbles for later. If they are
too young, then assign a relative to take your role as mom or dad for the day.
# 4 - Personal Style - If you have many bridesmaids,
you will have a lot of coordination and communication to do. Ask them to use their best judgment if any of the following
becomes an issue: nail polish color; hair do, makeup, and extra jewelry. Your job
isnt to micro-manage them! You just want them to help, support and share your special
day. Make sure you approve of the dress style, shoe selection and head piece.
# 5 - Maid-of-Honor Role- There are hundreds of ways the Maid of Honor
can help the bride. From helping select the wedding gown, to help writing and assembling the
invitations, to throwing a wedding shower (at least coordinating one), to making menu and favor
decisions and decorations. At the wedding, she helps the bride with her gown, hold the bride's
bouquet at the ceremony, helps the bride with the train, and basically offers total support. She
can also be in charge of making sure the events of the day are running smoothly, maintain the
emergency kit, and offer a toast (after the Best Man).
# 6 - Bridesmaid's Role- The bridesmaids also provide support
to the bride, including helping with the bridal shower, writing the gift descriptions,
passing out cake to the guests at the shower, assemble the invitations, and any other
tasks the bride wishes to assign. The best thing the attendants can do is be response
to the bride's needs, follow-up on any requests, and be present.
