THE BRIDESMAIDS

• Walking down the aisle as part of the procession then standing alongside the other attendants before being seated during the Service itself.

• Following the Bride & Groom out of the Service as part of the exit procession, either two-abreast or being escorted by an Usher.

• Travelling to the Reception along with the Best Man and any Ushers (assuming there is room for you all in the yellow Reliant Robin that was hired!)

As well as the traditional responsibilities, Bridesmaids (generally only the senior ones, although there are some tasks that junior Bridesmaids can help with also) may also chip in to help with the following:

• If asked to by the Chief Bridesmaid, help to plan and organise the Hen night.

• Assist the Bride and Groom by tracking down potential product and service suppliers.

• Do something sweet as a surprise for the Bride (write a poem for the Service, put a scrapbook together, arrange for a bottle of champagne to be delivered to the Bride & Groom on honeymoon etc.)

• Help put together favours or address and sent out invites in the run up to the Big Day.
