How Do I Pick My Bridesmaids?

Katie & Alec Photography

Your bridesmaids can be made up of all your favorite people or just a select few of those BFF’s. If you choose a large bridal party, you will need to plan on paying for more gifts, bridesmaids bouquets, and other things. Alternatively, if you have more bridesmaids, it is easier for them to split the costs of a bachelorette party. The younger you are, the more likely you are to still be close with your high school, college and now work friends which can make the decision difficult. Sit down and think about the people you would want with you one of the most important days of your life. Think to yourself “Who is going to help me if things get difficult in my marriage in the future? Who will help me work through my problems and come out better on the other side?” Those are your bridesmaids.
