Today I focus on a particular theme that is asked of me very often.
Many of my brides ask me for advice on appointing bridesmaids and the traditions to follow to recognize this assignment.
Who is the bridesmaid and what tasks are up to her?
The first question I usually get asked is:
What role do bridesmaids have?

There is still a bit of confusion around this figure (a bit like that of the Wedding Planner ), in fact sometimes their role is exchanged with that of witnesses.
The bridesmaids are the bride’s friends who are closest to her, they are often the best confidants or adventure companions of the company, the most close-knit group of the “conbriccola” of friends.
They help her in the different stages of the preparations, they do not just attend the wedding day. They can be an active part in the choice of the wedding dress and in the organization of the bachelorette party.
We think of bridesmaids as an “American fashion” but in reality their figure has much more rooted origins (the first appeared at the time of ancient Rome) and have always been alongside the bride, according to history to protect her. Now it will no longer be like this, but one thing is certain: they must be a real point of reference for her.
They will be by his side both in the previous months and on the wedding day: they open the wedding procession, organize surprises for the newlyweds, entertain the guests when the couple are busy, pose for photographs together with the bride and above all they support her to reassure her., to have fun and make the party even more beautiful than you can imagine.
In the eyes of the guests, however, their task stands out above all at the time of the celebration. It is therefore important that their entry is orderly and well organized so as not to hinder one of the most important and exciting moments of the wedding day.
How to organize the entrance of the bridesmaids

- if you choose up to three bridesmaids they will open the procession by entering the line
- if you choose an even number, they will proceed in pairs
- if they are odd, the first will open the procession alone and the others will follow it in pairs.
The bridesmaids can be from a minimum of one (in this case it will be the bridesmaid, but in USA this solution is not much used), up to a maximum of eight.
I also add that the bridesmaids who manage to wear this task well are a point of reference together with the Wedding Planner and that it is therefore important that they coordinate with her.
In reality it didn’t end there.
The bridesmaids should also help the bride and groom in the delivery of wedding favors and must always be present in the highlights of the day, such as at the moment of toasts and the throwing of the bouquet. Obviously all with a minimum of discretion eh!
Is it clearer now? Remember, the bridesmaids are not just girls who have decided to wear a dress in the color of your wedding and an amazing hairstyle, they will have to participate in a special way!
