Congratulations! How exciting it is to be chosen as a Bridesmaid for your friend or family memberโs special day? Now you may be asking yourself, what does being a Bridesmaid mean? What Bridesmaid duties should I expect? The Foxy Hen is here to help you be the worldโs best Bridesmaid! To make it easy, we have broken down everything down into 7 categories
Note: Itโs becoming much more common for brides and grooms to have mixed genders in their wedding party. We celebrate all supporters of the married-couple-to-be, whether youโre a Best Woman, Man Of Honour, Bridesman, or Groomswoman!
The maid of honor should make sure everyone is introduced. Both a group chat and email chain may be the best way to make sure everyone knows what is happening
The bride will typically give some direction for what you should do in terms of hair and makeup
If not, it is better to go neutral. You are not trying to show up the bride so a simple yet elegant look wonโt fail you!
Typically the bride will have these laid out for you as well, but if shoes arenโt chosen it is again best to go neutral and simplistic so you donโt stand out from the rest of the Bridesmaids.
Check with the other Bridesmaids as well to see if you all already own similar shoes or accessories again for coherence!
This varies depending on the wedding, but a Bridesmaid dress can be anywhere from โฌ100-800+ and the individual Bridesmaids typically pay for their own dresses. If youโre not sure, itโs best to speak with the bride early to make sure itโs clear who is paying.
Generally, the Maid Of Honour is the only one who does a speech but traditions are changing and itโs best to speak with the Bride about what sheโs planning.
It may be a good idea to have a few lines prepared in case you are asked to say a few words on the special day.
If you live further away, it is understandable if you canโt make every lunch, dress fitting, and planning session but speak with the Bride to make sure youโre clear on her expectations. It is important to try to attend the bridal shower, hen party, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day, of course.
If for whatever reason you have a conflict with one of these planned events, make sure to let everyone know in advance to avoid any problems.
If youโre a bridesmaid and you have the awesome job of planning the hen party, then we know you probably still have a million questions about how to do it right and how to make it a special experience for the bride-to-be. Weโre here to help!
