In the first of our five part plan to pick your perfect partners to stand with you as you say your vows, we tackle Bridesmaids/mates.  If you are struggling to make those oh so important decisions, go through our easy to use flowchart to see if you should say ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

Remember, there are other ways to make people feel important.  Readings, register signing, utilising musical talents of friends and something as simple as a buttonhole or corsage, can all make your specials feel as though they are a significant part of your big day.  I use the words YOUR big day, because that is what it is.  Don’t be pushed into having great Aunty Beryl’s, daughter’s, husband’s, dog’s, aunty’s cousin just because it is expected.  Your choices should belong to you and your beau.  Because your wedding day really is all about you.
