Happy Friday wedding gurus :)
I decided to kick off this fabulous weekend with an interview from a former blushing bridesmaid, Kate Baker. Kate is a 21 year-old student from James Madison University studying education. She was recently a bridesmaid in her cousin's wedding this past fall. The wedding was an event to remember not only for this vivacious BB but also for the timeless bride. So soak up Kate’s experience and take in any advice she has to offer for you future bridesmaids.
Kate: Liz’s wedding was one of the most extravagant events I have ever seen. It was a formal black tie wedding, where people could only wear black or white. It was funny to see family members in evening gowns and tuxedos, but everyone looked great! The ceremony was at the Melon Auditorium, which is a few blocks away from the White House. It was beautiful and lasted over one hour.
Steph: That sounds like an incredible wedding to be a part of. What is your bride like?
Kate: I would describe Liz as a “glamorous princess”. She loves to put on a show and I would say her wedding was definitely entertaining. She is also very sincere and head over heels in love with her groom. On the morning of the wedding, she placed post it notes saying, “I love you” all over her future husband’s door, it was so sweet. They exchanged gifts to one another every hour, you could truly feel their love for one another.
Steph: That is so cute! What did Liz do to keep you and other bridesmaids involved in the wedding?
Kate: Liz did a great job communicating with the bridal party. She was very interactive with us and made everything fun. I loved hanging out with all the bridesmaids and Liz, especially on the wedding day. We watched the movie Bridesmaids while we were getting ready, it was hilarious.
Steph: That is such a good movie and perfect to watch leading up to the big event. What was your favorite part about the actual wedding day?
Kate: Before the wedding, we all ate fruit and drank champagne while reminiscing on old memories. We talked a lot about the happy couple and how they met, but we also talked about Liz when she was a single lady.
Steph: Did Liz seem stressed on the day of her wedding? If so, what did the bridal party do to comfort her?
Kate: Yes, she definitely was stressed with making sure everything was perfect. She started to cry with her parents before the ceremony, it was a special moment. The bridesmaids were there to make her laugh by playing songs from her favorite pop star, Lady Gaga.
Steph: What would be your final advice for future bridesmaids?
Kate: Definitely keep in touch with your bride during the entire wedding process. There are so many details that go into wedding planning, so be there to help your bride every step of the way. Always stay positive and embrace the experience. Let your bride know how special and loved she is at all times!
I hope you all enjoyed Kate’s story and are even more excited to one day make your bride’s dreams come true as a blushing bridesmaid. Remember that every wedding and bride is different but the bridesmaids are there to make this the happiest day of your beloved bride’s life.
