Where to shop for dresses for your bridesmaids
Most wedding dress shops will have dresses suitable for your bridesmaids, but don't worry if they don't, or if these are too expensive. Department stores such as John Lewis and Debenhams will stock dresses that may be suitable, along with shops such as Monsoon, Coast and Next. As with your wedding dress, it will depend on budget, and what styles suit. If you try to force a bridesmaid to wear something that does not suit her shape or that she is uncomfortable in, she will not be much help to you, and may resent her role.
How to choose bridesmaids
Your bridesmaids, the older ones at least, should be people you trust to support you on the run-up to your wedding, and on the day its-self. Don't feel you have to bow to pressure to choose family members, or return the favour of a friend who chose you as a bridesmaid at her wedding. Your wedding budget may limit your number of bridesmaids if you are planning to pay for their entire outfit. A good bridesmaid will help you with organising your wedding, give an honest opinion when needed, be the voice of reason to your worst 'bridezilla' moments, and be a source of calm, practical help on the day.
Thank you gifts for bridesmaids
Jewellery that can be worn on the day is suitable, but it is you may wish to buy something else, a small gift that can be presented during the thank-you speeches.
Bridesmaids' duties
Helping to organise the wedding.
Attending dress fittings.
Planning the Hen-Night if the bride wants one.
A poem to pop into a thank you card might help express how much your bridesmaid means to you.
our flower girl
How lucky we are to have a flower girl
who's so cute in every way.
Someone who knows how to walk down an aisle
and steal everyone's heart away.
So thank you for being our flower girl,
dropping petals to lead the way.
But thank you most of all for helping
to make ours a perfect wedding day.
My Bridesmaid
And My Friend
Today I wed the one I love,
And life won't be the same.
But still I know you're there for me
If I should call your name.
You've been the best friend you could be
And always shown you cared.
And I will treasure evermore
Adventures we have shared.
I'm thankful I can count on you,
For all the things you do.
And I'm so glad that I can say,
I have a friend like you.
We know not what the future holds,
And we may have to part.
But you will always be with me,
Forever in my heart.
Special Thanks To:
Our little bridesmaid
A little lady carries flowers
and brings a small bouquet.
She helps us as we celebrate
a joyful wedding day.
She is a princess in her gown,
a picture come to life.
She brings such joy in helping us
become a man and wife.
We're glad that she can stand with us,
so graceful and so tall,
and help to make this special time
the very best of all!
