With all of the stress involved with planning your own wedding, there is one more key item that you need to focus on: Choosing your bridesmaids. Arlene Pecora recommends several things to consider before choosing your special ladies:
Can’t we all just get along
Before choosing your bridal party you must consider each woman and there personality. Ask yourself do we all get along well, can we work together as a group without conflict? If not you should consider choosing mutual friends because nothing is worse on your wedding day than fighting bridesmaids.
Bridesmaids status
Before choosing consider all the situations that your bridal party is in. Are they having financial trouble, are they pregnant, or are they just a really busy person. If they are just to busy or can not fulfill the obligations that are needed by the bridesmaids then you should think twice before choosing them.
Before you choose
Sometimes the bridesmaid that you choose will not live in your area. You should consider this before taking the plunge and saying yes before you think things out. Ask yourself will this person always be available, have reliable transportation, and be there for me with in a blink of an eye? If not you should possibly consider someone else. – Read More Here
