A bridesmaid in any wedding
constitutes the most important female attendant
who caters to every need of the bride. She
actively supports the bride in her pre- and
post-wedding requirements. Apart from the
principal bridesmaid, called "The maid
of honor" or "The matron of honor"
(in case of a married person), there is usually
more than one bridesmaid in a wedding. In
fact, d epending on the workload the group
is usually divided into layers with the matron
of honor taking the prime place.
A sister of
the bride often enjoys the position of a principal
bridesmaid because of the familiarity between
them as also the closeness. And, a close relative
or a friend dear to the bride occupies the
maid of honor position. Irrespective of the
ultimate positions and layers conferred, the
bridesmaid needs to carry her job with style,
grace and élan. The bridesmaid is supposed
to oversee the uprightness or decency of the
whole team, setting up a dress code if need
be in consultation with the bride.
The
ultimate factor is the total satisfaction
derived by the bride without worries and frequent
hassles, including the dress code for the
entire team!
Apart from her main
jobs she is expected to help the bride in
fixing up the venue to the wedding much before
the wedding time, preparing the wedding list
and sending out invitations to various guests,
helping the bride with her shopping for the
wedding gown and her other dress materials
besides the nitty-gritty of the whole team.
She should not take her eyes away from guarding
the gifts, of which she alone becomes the
sole in-charge to avoid unsavory scenes.
Last but not the least, She coordinates with
bride for any important wedding preparations
as also with the other bridesmaids. She has
to take charge of hosting a party called the
Bridal shower, where gifts are brought to
be given to the bride . If you are the bridesmaid
having to choose the dress, you have to search
the perfect combination that ends up in great
style!
