Here are some of the top ways you can support the bride if you’re a bridesmaid.

 

If your recently engaged friend has asked you to be one of her bridesmaids, you may be wondering what your responsibilities will be and how you can be the best bridesmaid possible. The good news is that you’ve come to the right place! In this blog, we’re going to go over some of the top ways that you can support a bride.

Supporting a Bride

It can be difficult to know how to support a bride on her wedding day, as well as throughout the wedding planning process. Below are some of our top tips and tricks that you can use if you’re not sure how to support someone as a bridesmaid.

Communicate Early

One of the first things you should do after finding out that you’re going to be a bridesmaid is communicate with the bride about what her expectations are and how you can be supportive. Some brides want their bridesmaids to be incredibly involved in their wedding, while others want them to take a step back. 

 

Asking the bride where she falls on this spectrum is a great way to make sure that you’re both on the same page and you’re supporting her in the way that she wants to be supported.

Be Present

Another important thing to do is be present during the planning process. One great way to show the bride that you care about her and her wedding is to prioritize her appointments and anything else that you’re invited to. Being present is one of the best ways to show that you care. 

Help With Tips

Sometimes couples will ask someone if they can be in charge of tipping vendors on their wedding day. This can be a great job for a bridesmaid to do, so consider asking the couple if this is a way that you could help them out.

Stay Positive

An essential part of being a bridesmaid is staying positive! It’s no secret that the wedding planning process can be stressful for the bride, so it’s important to make sure that you bring a sense of peace and calmness. Staying positive can be a great gift to give the bride, so think about some ways that you can put a smile on her face.

Bring an Emergency Kit

One of our favorite tips for bridesmaids is to create an emergency kit to bring to the wedding day. From spilled wine to rips in dresses, there are so many things that can go wrong on someone’s big day. Planning ahead and having a kit ready can be a great way to make sure that you’re being proactive and planning for emergencies.

 

If you’re not sure what to include in your emergency kit, don’t be afraid to go big or go home. From baby wipes to makeup remover and tissues, there are so many different things that you can include for the big day.
