Steph: What was it like being a bridesmaid for your future sister-in-law?
Kelsey: It was definitely an interesting experience. Not only was it weird to see my brother get married, but to see a romantic side of him where he is so in love with his bride. It made me a lot more excited to welcome her to the family.
Steph: As a bridesmaid, did it make you feel closer to the bride?
Kelsey: It did make us a lot closer. I also enjoyed seeing how much her and my brother love each other. They were so romantic throughout the wedding that it made me love them together even more.
Steph: That is so adorable! How would you describe the wedding?
Kelsey: Megan and Scott's wedding was very personal. It incorporated her girly and simplistic style with a casual atmosphere. The wedding took place in Virginia Beach during the summer so this beach themed wedding catered to having a great time.
Steph: How would you describe the overall look that Megan put together for the bridesmaids?
Kelsey: Our look was very casual and relaxed. Since it was an outdoor wedding, Megan wanted us to be comfortable. We all wore long green dresses with flowers in our hair. To go with the casual tone, we even got to wear flip flops.
Steph: What was your favorite part of the day?
Kelsey: Getting ready for the wedding- the bridal party drank wine and relaxed while talking about Megan and Scott's relationship. It was sweet to see Megan and her dad interact before the wedding since that is such a sentimental time for a father on his daughter's wedding day. Overall, the day was special, meaningful and beautiful.
Steph: Now that you have some bridesmaid experience, what is it like preparing to be a bridesmaid in another wedding?
Kelsey: It is interesting to see how different each couple is getting married. Megan and Scott have graduated from college, entered the workforce and have been living together for quite some time. Lizzy and Wes are closer to my age, and do not currently have the same lifestyle as my brother and his wife do. However, it just shows me that love is so powerful that it comes at any time and any age.
Steph: That is definitely true and an interesting perspective to have. What new things are you noticing as a second time bridesmaid?
Kelsey: I am noticing a lot of the little details that go into planning a wedding. To be more specific, a bridesmaid should consider wedding costs, time management, the bride's stress level and always giving her positive encouragement. I am realizing it is my job to be there for her every step of the way and I am finding it easier to do that the second time around.
Steph: Describe the bride you are currently a bridesmaid for
Kelsey: Lizzy is a sweet southern belle from North Carolina. She is one of the most sincere people I know and I can trust her with anything. She is a great person to talk to and very reliable with anything you need. I think she is such a good person that it makes me very happy to help make her wedding day as special as possible.
Steph: What is your favorite part about being a bridesmaid?
Kelsey: I love getting to experience the wedding as bridesmaid even though I obviously am not the bride. It is nice to see how much planning goes into a wedding and being able to be a part of that process. The best part for me is seeing how happy the bride is. Their happiness radiates the entire wedding. It motivates me to make her feel even more special and help her embark on the new journey her and her groom are about to embark on.
Kelsey clearly has a lot of incredible advice to give for all current or future bridesmaids. I hope you enjoyed what she has to say and learned something from her personal experiences. Stay tuned for more articles on former BB's and you never know you could be one soon too :)
xo,
Steph
