A bridesmaid has a strong supportive role that has to be played during your engagement and wedding experience. Although your Maid of Honour will be there for you, your friends will also be there for your comfort and to listen to your opinions too.
Being chosen to be a bridesmaid is one of the most honorable duties any woman can fulfill for an important girlfriend in her life. The bridesmaids do have responsibilities and, they can really help the couple through this amazing time of their lives. Being there to witness the signing of the marriage license is a tribute to your friendship.
Bridesmaids are there to offer general support to you, the bride; to plan and help with the bridal shower under the direction of the Maid of Honour and to assist the guests at the ceremony and reception. It is, of course understood that they will also offer help to the bride with pre-wedding duties such as addressing invitations, (if requested) and helping to assemble the wedding favours.
Other duties include helping with wedding organization and going with you to choose a wedding gown; attending the rehearsal dinner, helping register for wedding gifts if the groom is not available and being there prior to the wedding festivities. The most important role is to provide moral support and be a good listener to the bride throughout the engagement, since it is a wonderful but challenging time for the bride who is faced with much decision making.ugly tulle and taffeta gowns are long gone. Today’s dresses are chic, stylish and very 21st century. No longer do you have to recoil at the thought of deciding on that important purchase. Some brides are choosing the colour palette and leaving the style of the dress to her bridesmaids. That way, everyone is comfortable and the bonus is that the dress can be worn again at another time and won’t be delegated to the back of her closet.
