How to Choose Your Bridesmaids

By Arpie & Maral Couture

Your brides­maids are your right-hand girls, they should be sup­port­ive and help­ful in ensur­ing that the big day goes to plan. So, how do choose the right women for the job?

The size of your bridal party will depend on the size and type of cer­e­mony. Accord­ing to some wed­ding gurus, the rule of thumb is one brides­maid (and grooms­man) for every 50 guests. Although that’s not writ­ten in stone, it is wise to bear in mind that large bridal par­ties tend to fit a larger, and more for­mal, ceremony.

5 Tips for Choos­ing Your Bridesmaids

1. Big­ger Isn’t Always Better

Always keep in mind that a large bridal party can lead to large com­pli­ca­tions. For exam­ple, more brides­maids means more women who have to approve of a dress, more sched­ules have to be syn­chro­nised for the shower or hen’s night. And then, of course, there is the small mat­ter of finance. Brides­maids need dresses and bou­quets, all of which ratchet up the bud­get of your wed­ding. Con­tinue reading

By Arpie & Maral Couture

On the face of it, chil­dren and wed­dings don’t really mix. Expect­ing a small per­son to remain still and quiet, even for a rel­a­tively short cer­e­mony, is often ask­ing a touch much.

Well, first, weigh up the pros and cons of hav­ing chil­dren at your wedding.
