Bridemaids - Heaven or Hell?

Postby Mrs Darcee » Mon Jul 18, 2022 1:44 pm

Have you the Bridesmaid from Hell? I have 3 Bridemaids, 2 of which are my sisters and the other is H2B's sister. H2B's sister was a complete nightmare and has always tried to do what she wants. My sisters are total gems would do anything for me and keep reminding me its my day so I guess I am lucky I only have one to keep in her place !

I just have one bridesmaid - my sister. She's been an absolute gem!! She's organised her dress herself (with a bit of input from me!) and she's organised her own shoes & accessories......she even bought her present from me!! She helped us send out all the invitations and went home with a handful of paper cuts as a result!! She organised the most amazing hen weekend and also helped loads with getting names of bands & string quartets for me, and was great with putting the list of "do not play" and "do play" songs for the DJ. Dunno what I'd do without her!!! :D

I had 4 bridesmaids and on the day all 4 were brilliant - the youngest girl was a bit hyper wanting to know how soon she could get dressed etc but apart from that they were brill - :lol:

I have two bridesmaids, my sisters - and they are fantastic! :D They are more excited about the wedding then I am most of the time.
:o

Both of them are recently married so they have loads of advice for me. They've been sourcing accessories, dress makers, flowers, invites for me since the word go! Couldn't do it without them!

I am also having 4. Thank God, I have not had the need to ask them to do aything just yet. I am sure if I do need help they would be more than willing. I just need them to get measured for dresses if they are not coming out here which most of them are :) :)
Apart from that, turn up on the day, have a good time and I am a happy Camper

I'm having just one bridesmaid, my sister.

It is still in the early stages for planning BM dresses.

She likes the same colours as i do, so far so good.
