HOW BRIDESMAIDS CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOUR TIMELINE | Pro-Tip Series
The wedding day timeline is an intricate balance of moments, emotions, and logistics. Typically external factors like vendors and schedules affect the timeline, one crucial element often goes unnoticed—the impact of bridesmaids. Yes, those closest to the bride can significantly shape how smoothly the day unfolds. Let’s delve into how bridesmaids can make or break the timeline.
Firstly, I always advise brides to get ready with their bridesmaids at the same location. This not only allows for beautiful candid shots but is also essential for a stress-free morning.
Now, let’s talk about the bridesmaids themselves and their role in the timeline. Their demeanor and involvement can set the tone for the entire day. A room filled with friendly, cooperative bridesmaids is every photographer’s dream, making the day flow effortlessly.
Here are some key actions bridesmaids can take to ensure the morning runs smoothly and stays on schedule:
Punctuality
Being on time is crucial. The bride will have a lot running through her mind and will be filled with emtion. Having her support system present and ready alleviates stress and sets a positive tone for the day.
Bridal Details
Knowing where the bridal accessories and details are is key. Bridesmaids can assist in gathering these items for the photographer. This allows the bride to focus on hair and makeup while ensuring the photographer captures essential shots.
Matching Robes
If planning to wear matching robes, timing is key. Coordinating robe shots with the bride’s hair and makeup completion ensures a cohesive look in photos.
Getting Dressed
Once the bride nears the end of her hair and makeup, bridesmaids and mother of the bride, should start getting dressed. This ensures readiness for assisting the bride into her gown and makes for prettier photos.
Assisting the Bride
Only a few bridesmaids can actually assist the bride into her gown at one time. The others can be by her side for support as well as blocking distractions.
Embrace Imperfections
It’s essential for bridesmaids to prioritize the timeline over personal perfection. Minor imperfections like unfinished hair or missing jewelry should not derail the schedule, as these are rarely noticeable in photos.
When bridesmaids understand their role in facilitating a smooth morning, the entire wedding day benefits. Their support and cooperation will enhance the bride’s experience and ensure a seamless timeline.
In conclusion, bridesmaids are not just friends in pretty dresses; they are the unsung heroes behind the scenes. So, to all the bridesmaids out there, remember your crucial role in making the day unforgettable—for all the right reasons.
