The Bridesmaids

I’ve just had my first official bridesmaid meet up. I arranged a mini tea party (may as well keep the them going) on Sunday afternoon, where I presented the bridesmaids with a little gift. I bought each of them a Bridesmaid sticker book, it was meant to be a joke, but all three of them took it very seriously and then proceeded to ignore me for the next half and hour!

I’m having two adult bridesmaids, they are both school friends. I was bridesmaid for both of them too, so it feels good to return the favour. I’m hoping that they’ll be able to offer me any advice I need as I go along. They were both really laid back with their own bridesmaids, and I intend to be the same with them. We’ll go dress shopping nearer to the date of the wedding and I’ve said that they can choose a dress style that suits them, if they happen to be the same then great, if not then as long as they fit in with the scheme then that’s fine too.

My niece will be my third bridesmaid. She’s just turned 5, and is very excited to be a princess on my wedding day. She’s actually the more demanding of the three, she’s told me that she’ll be wearing a princess dress, carrying a wand, wearing a tiara and I have to buy her a flower ring.

The wand idea went down well with the adults too, so I may have just saved a bit on flowers!
