When it comes to choosing the bridesmaids for your big day, it can become a little problematic. Tradition stipulates that the couple usually chooses bridesmaids from both sides of the family; however it is important that you go with people you really want. Bridesmaids really do play an integral part in your wedding.
Here are few hints and tips when it comes to choosing your bridesmaids on the most important day of your life!
The hardest decision usually comes when a number of bridesmaids has to be specified and choosing too many runs the risk of the wedding becoming over the top. It is wise to match the number of bridesmaids with the scale of the wedding.
The saying ‘blood is thicker than water’ tends to be true. If you have any female siblings it is probably best to include them, as well as choosing any future sister in laws to avoid unnecessary conflict
in the future. This will ensure you are always on their Christmas card list!
It is wise not be flippant when it comes to deciphering which of your friends to choose and always go for those who are the most reliable. You can probably count your true friends on one hand, so go with your gut instinct and avoid going for whoever is just ‘flavour of the month’.

When it comes down to it, your Bridesmaids will be responsible for organising your hen night, which, let’s face it, needs to be as memorable as it can be! Any self respecting bride to be needs to make sure their last night as a single woman goes off with a bang!
Make sure your Bridesmaids actually want the role of organising this and don’t take it personally if they turn you down, some people just don’t like the lime light and the pressure of being centre stage isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. You will probably find some people will support you more behind the scenes an
It is wise not to fall in to the trap of thinking ‘the more the merrier’ for your Bridesmaids. As a rule of thumb, the more you have to organise, the more complications you can encounter. As a bride you will want to keep any potential complications to a minimum.
Getting a group of women to decide on the same dress code is no mean feat and this needs to be factored in. It is important to ensure your Bridesmaids are comfortable, but ultimately this is your day and it should look and be exactly how you want it, so don’t be pressured into going with what they want. Cost also has to be factored in, so the more you have, the more it will cost, simple!
Bridesmaids don’t always have to be adult friends, flower girls are also a beautiful touch to any wedding and everybody loves the cute factor they bring.
In the long run it is important to put in some thought and effort into selecting the right Bridesmaids for you. The right decision will ensure that you have the perfect day you have been dreaming about.
