As I wedding photographer, I’ve encountered various types of
brides. I’ve encountered the
“I-want-everything to be perfect” kind of bride, along with the “I just want to
get this day over and done with type of bride”.
I’ve also encountered the do it yourself type of bride. I fell into this category when I got married,
but I was smart. I had help J
So often brides don’t utilize their bridesmaids enough! In my opinion, your bridesmaids are there to
ensure that you have a smooth day.
They’re there to let you know when your dress zip is a bit scew, you
hair pin just fell out or your eyeliner’s smudge; then they fix it. They are the people you leave at the
reception venue knowing that they have all the last minute things under control
(‘cause they know you that well). THEY
SHOULD ENSURE THAT YOUR WEDDING DAY’S PERFECT.
I mean, you choose your bridesmaids based on your love for and fondness
of them. So because of the bond you share, they’ll want to ensure that your day
is everything you dreamt of and more (as would you if the roles were reversed). Why don’t you let them?
It saddens me when a brides too stressed ‘cause her
bridesmaids haven’t done their job. I
had 8 bridesmaids and they were all fabulous!
I had the best wedding ever. Even
though I DIYed the whole thing, from décor to my dresses. I had a lot of help and by the time my I
started getting ready, I didn’t have a care in the world ‘cause my bridesmaids
ensured that everything was under control.
One of them even stayed and got dressed at the ceremony venue (before
the wedding of course) because she wanted to make sure everything was the way I
envisioned it. And it was. Thanks
Liezle.
Of course my chosen venue
(Evergreen), had fabulous and talented people who assisted and put up
everything the way I wanted it, but they didn’t know me personally and well
enough to know that I am quite fussy with small details (as are most brides),
but my bridesmaids did ;)
Point I’m trying to make is that we are girls and we deserve
the best wedding ever. We waited so long
for the perfect man to come along and once he did, he wooed our hearts and
asked the perfect question; “will you marry me?”. So why should we not have the perfect wedding
day.
Looking back on my wedding day, I wouldn’t change a
thing. It was the happiest day of my
life. And because of my bridesmaids,
there wasn’t any little mishaps to get in the way of my perfect day. And
because I know how awesome it is to be able to say this, I want every bride to
be able to say it about their wedding day.
My advice to all future brides and my future clients: you’re
bridesmaids are there for a reason. They
want to love you and contribute to YOU having your perfect wedding day: LET
THEM! Relax, have fun. So that when everything’s over, you’ll look
at your awesome wedding photo’s and love the day it reflects so perfectly. And you’ll remember how much you could enjoy
the honeymoon ‘cause you weren’t stressed and overly-exhausted.
