Avoid Bridesmaid Battles: How to Be the Greatest Bridesmaid Ever

February 27, 2015 by Ariane Leave a Comment

Far too many of us know the reality that is, women tend to be a bit catty. It’s especially easy with the stress of wedding planning. And when a group of girls that may or not know each other have to come together.
This infographic helps you avoid those sticky bridesmaid issues. It also has helpful tips on how to give a killer speech. Big thanks to Bespoke Diamonds for this awesome visual!

It’s sad to think that all the people in your wedding may not be in your life after the big day. We hope these tips help you avoid those bridesmaid issues, because no one wants to be the bad apple.
Often it’s not you but rather another bridesmaid that is causing your bride extra stress, either way bridesmaid issues are never fun. I’ve seen first hand when the “wedding cake,” hits the fan. It’s not pretty when you have a bridesmaid embarrassing herself and the bride by being completely sloshed and another crying because she think she looks fat in her dress. Both of these bridesmaid issues could’ve been avoided if they chose to focus on the bride rather than themselves.

Here are some extra tips to be the best bridesmaids you can be!

1. Don’t complain

 So you’re not super happy that the bride has you sitting next to the weird bridesmaid you don’t like. You don’t have to be her new best friend but don’t go running to the bride and demand a new seat. The bride chose you to be a trooper and needs you to put aside your discomfort and worry about hers.

2. Be upfront

If you know you’re already tight on money, don’t be afraid to tell the bride before you say yes.

3. Give a perfectly personalized bridesmaid speech – and catch it on video!

Why are bridesmaid speech ideas so hard? She’s one of your besties, you can tell her anything – but of course you want to tell her everything  so of course you’ll want to put so much meaning, humor, and thoughtfulness. For example, Melissa’s new sisters-in-laws had a super cute bridesmaids speech idea to sing “That’s What Friends Are For” to the new member of their family. Awesome way to use the WeddingMix app to include personalized video messages in the couple’s wedding video!

4. Be the helping hand

If you’re too busy helping others, you won’t have time to run into bridesmaid issues. Does the bride need help with any DIY crafts, does the mother of the bride need anything, did the flower girl get gum stuck in her hair? Wedding’s always have last minute troubles, but be your bestie’s bridesmaid to the rescue by giving a cute toast:
