Role of the bridesmaid

The choice of the maid of honor is very important in the eyes of all the brides who want to make use of this figure and that is why it very often coincides with the best friend. There are many “duties” to which a damsel must pay attention in order to carry out this task in the best possible way, which may seem superficially a particularly light-hearted task, but which in reality hides very significant aspects.

During the wedding planning phase, the bridesmaid must take care to follow the bride during the planning of every detail, and must also let the undisputed protagonist of the entire event choose for her the dress, the color and every accessory to it connected.

The bridesmaid according to tradition

According to tradition, the bride has decision-making power over everything that concerns her bridesmaid’s style during the Wedding Day. Usually, however, all brides consult the maids before making any decision; if this does not happen, it is absolutely forbidden to contradict the main protagonist of the event!

Another very amusing task is undoubtedly to plan the bride’s bachelorette party, taking into consideration the latter’s tastes and perhaps organizing activities that surprise her and leave all the guests pleasantly surprised.

However, the most important task is to support the bride morally, both during the ceremony and during the party and the preparations.

Identifying your maid of honor means placing great trust in her and hoping to have great support in intense and exciting moments of which, inevitably, the path to the wedding day will be paved. For this reason, dear bridesmaids, you must feel flattered and at the same time stimulated to perform this delicate, prestigious and absolutely fabulous role to the fullest!

Choosing the dress

The dress of the protagonist of the Wedding Day is, undoubtedly, that of the bride but also the choice of what the bridesmaids will wear must not be neglected.

The main rule that applies to every type of wedding is that the clothes to wear during the ceremony and the party must always follow the fil rouge of the event but never approach too much the style of the wedding dress.

The task of the perfect maid is to enhance the figure of the bride, so the choice of the dress is up to her. However, it is very rare that the opinion of the person concerned regarding the model and color is not taken into account.

The bridesmaids’ dresses, in the Anglo-Saxon tradition, must be identical, but some variations in detail are allowed, for example with regards to the neckline or the addition of accessories.

Hairstyle and makeup

Even the bridesmaid’s hairstyle is defined together with the bride and must be treated in detail. At the bottom of the bridesmaids are those who open the way for the bride during the ceremony and for this nothing should be left to chance.

The trends of 2019 in terms of hairstyles include all types of braids for boho or country chic weddings, elegant chignon embellished by the addition of light points for a more sophisticated and pompous style like that of the baroque wedding. This is what tradition requires, but every wedding is unique: it has its own history and its own way of reinterpreting the canons of the etiquette.

Yes to an original touch

For those of you who have seen the movie “Sex and the City”, it will not be difficult to remember the wonderful clothes that the protagonists wore as bridesmaids at the wedding of their best friend Carrie. and for all its personality, a decidedly original touch that was very different from the tradition but which succeeded even more in highlighting the bride’s originality and passion for the fashion world, fully returning to the spirit of her Wedding Day.

So, dear bridesmaids, who choose to follow the tradition or not, the important thing is that you take this task seriously, so as not to disappoint those who have placed so many expectations and hopes in you.
