Congrats, You’re a Bridesmaid! Here are Your Main Tasks as Part of the Bride Tribe

Congratulations! You are on the honor roll for being the bride-to-be’s right hand. First, you will need to know your responsibilities, and second you must be aware of the do’s and don’ts while fulfilling your duty as her trusted friend. This task may sound daunting and require a lot of your time and effort (and some money), but hey, you’ll do it all for the love of you dearest bride-to-be! To help the bride overcome her wedding jitters, we have put together these tips on what to expect in the months leading to the wedding. Follow these pointers and you’ll be on your way to acing this new role!

 

(1) Divide and Conquer

Once you have been appointed as one of her trusted bridesmaids, take the initiative and get involved. Help out the Maid of Honor by dividing the wedding checklist amongst yourselves–from bridal shower ideas, to sorting out RSVPs, or assembling wedding favours. Split these tasks according to each of your strengths. You may make suggestions but do follow the Maid of Honor’s lead.

(2) Attend the Bridal Shower, Bachelorette Party, Rehearsals, and Wedding Related Appointments

The bride cannot demand 100% attendance for all wedding related appointments, but try your very best to be present unless there are major constraints. As for fittings, depending on the bride, she may want her girls to be by her side at all dress fittings. After all, you would know trending dress shapes and silhouettes best!

(3) Plan an Amazing Bridal Shower or Bachelorette Party

Do not underestimate this important but exciting task. Your duty is to take the bride-to-be out to enjoy her last bits of singlehood. If partying is not the bride’s thing, go with a bridal shower in a spa, have some high tea, or check out some of these other fun ideas for bridal parties. The expenses of this party will be split amongst the bridesmaids, so do brainstorm ideas with the girls and get consensus on a budget.

(4) Say Yes to Your Dress

The bride is allowed to pick your dress especially if she’s paying for it. You may suggest more flattering cuts or colors but ultimately, you will have to say ‘Yes!’ to her chosen dress. Not all brides will offer to pay for your dress. She may send you off with a color scheme in mind to hunt for a dress yourself. If you have issues with this, speak to the bride privately and work something out.

Beauty Essentials to Achieve that Perfect, Everyday Bridal Glow

Your Big Day is nearing and we know that you have a million and one tasks to complete. Don’t let these get in the way of you looking your best everyday. Achieve the perfect, everyday bridal glow while you’re running around planning your wedding. “How is this possible?”, you might ask. The answer: Proper skincare and fresh makeup, of course! From your cleansing routine essentials, last minute quick fixes, to must-have makeup products, we’ve got you covered! Check out these products and find out how they can work their magic on you.

 

Achieving a Clean Canvas

Be diligent and go to bed every night with a clean face. Cleansed skin sets a clean canvas for everything else that is to follow. We are big fans of the double cleansing method that Korean women follow to achieve clear skin. Start off with an oil based cleanser to remove makeup and impurities without stripping the natural barrier of your skin, followed by a water-based cleanser. Living in a city with pollutants can be troubling for your skin too. Use a cleansing tool to help remove stubborn pore clogging dirt. After the crucial double cleanse method, remember to tone your skin. This step will help to balance your skin’s pH levels so that it will absorb the products that are to follow.
