As a Bridesmaid you have a strong supportive role you must play during the entire wedding experience. Although the Maid of Honor may be there for the bride, your friend will also need your comfort and opinions as well.
It is an honor to go with the bride when she is shopping for her wedding dress. She may even invite you to be involved in picking out the Bridesmaid Dresses. If that happens, here are a few hints to help make the experience go smoothly!
5 Hints for a stressless experience!!
1. Shop at www.AliBMaids.com - enough said!
2. Even if you haven’t chosen the dress yet, Its a good idea to have all your girls get their measurements taken professionally and ahead of time (a dry cleaner with a tailor/seamstress on staff will do!) this saves lots of time and stress when you are working within a deadline. (this also helps avoid the need for rush fees since it can be a challenge to get your entire bridal party to comply at the same time!) – OH! and don’t forget to wear the proper undergarments when getting measured!
3. Delegate a Bridesmaid for this job: It is very important to help make sure the dresses are ordered and arrive in enough time for alterations! Be sure to check the lead time needed to order your dresses. When ordering at Ali B Maids, copy and paste this link into an e-mail to all the bridesmaids: http://www.alibmaids.com/docs/ABM_Order_Form_2008.pdf have each girl fill it out completely, scan it and send it back to the designated bridesmaid! Then a simple compiled file of all the order forms can be sent to Ali B Maids via e-mail and you are done!!
4. Need some good advice to ensure your wedding photo’s look pristine?! Agree upon a height from the floor up where you would like all the dresses to be altered, doing so will result in a beautiful bridal party photo! When the girls all stand beside one another – their dress hems (regardless of height) all fall at the same point!!
5. Now book some spa treatments – you deserve it!
