Bridal Attendant Duties

One of the things that brides don’t necessarily realize is how busy wedding days are. People have a general idea of what happens on the day of, but there are so many details that go into a wedding that having an extra set of hands would definitely help calm and ease the bride.  Having a bridal attendant could be one of the best tips that I could share with you. If your wedding venue doesn’t have one, I would suggest to hire one for the day. They will shadow you all day and could run all of your extra errands, like to buy food, serve drinks, run to your house to pick up your wedding vows that you forgot, etc., while you and your ladies get ready for the day.

Let me share with you a list of what the responsibilities are for bridal attendants:

1.       They’ll prepare a wedding emergency kit for you (lip gloss, safety pins, hair pins, perfume, band aids, needle and thread, pantyhose, etc.).

2.       Like I mentioned a while ago, they’ll run your last-minute wedding errands, whatever they may be.

3.       They’ll keep you fed and hydrated.

4.       They will help you keep track of your wedding day schedule and help be coordinated with all of your vendors, including your wedding planner.

5.       They’ll help with transporting items from the church to reception site if needed.

6.       They’ll help put out decorations, keep track of all of them and gather them at the end of the night.

7.       They will take care of last minute emergencies that could happen on the day of your wedding.

8.       They will collect gifts and cards for safe keeping and help you bring them to your house.

9.       They will help clean the reception site to make sure that nothing was left behind.

Although your bridesmaids, wedding coordinator and family are at your beck and call, you might want to consider having one. This will help relieve any last-minute stressors you may have during the day and would be able to let your bridal party and family have fun during your wedding day too. This, I assure you, would lessen the chances of you becoming a bridezilla on your wedding day!
