Commandments of Being a Bridesmaid – An Info-graphic

Getting asked to be a bridesmaid is very much an honor so it is a role that needs to be taken seriously no matter how many times you have been asked to do it! The wedding day is a monumental occasion in the bride’s life and she has asked you to be a special part of it.

Being a bridesmaid can also be fun as you get to be in the wedding party and be treated like a VIP for the day. You also get the opportunity to get to know new people – maybe you haven’t met the groomsmen before, or maybe you haven’t met your fellow bridesmaids either!

If you're already married and did it, how did you feel?

Different Ways to Pamper Yourself Before Your Wedding Day

Every bride wants to be beautiful on her wedding day. Women typically dream of having the best wedding whilst still maintaining a pretty face, a great figure and a healthy, buffed physique. However, with the long list of things to prepare, organize and be apprehensive about, often times the bride loses “me” time to relax and have a breather. She usually ends up being uptight, distraught and cranky. The pressure can just build up and be overwhelming for everyone.
