Hold onto your veils, brides-to-be! Planning a wedding is an exciting and magical journey, and one of the most important aspects is assembling the dream team of bridesmaids. From choosing the right moment to pop the question to your potential bridesmaids and celebrating the night away.
Here at Woodhall Manor is where bridal parties become sisterhoods, and every moment is a celebration of love, laughter, and maybe a little mischief.
When Should You Ask Your Bridesmaids?
Your bridal party reflects your closest friends and family who will stand by your side on the big day. Start by asking your bridesmaids well in advance, ideally 8-12 months before the wedding. This gives everyone enough time to plan and prepare for their roles.
How Many Bridesmaids Should You Have?
There’s no magic number when it comes to the size of your bridal party. Consider the size of your venue, your personal preferences, and the dynamics of your relationships. Quality over quantity is key – choose those who have been a significant part of your life journey.
Gift Ideas for Bridesmaids
Gift-giving is an art, so make the moment memorable by presenting your bridesmaids with thoughtful gifts. Consider personalised items, such as monogrammed robes, custom jewellery, or a heartfelt letter expressing your gratitude.
With your girl gang assembled, you should now feel fully equipped to take on all that comes with your wedding planning.
