When people think of weddings, they often jump straight to the ceremony or the reception. But there’s one moment I absolutely love planning – the bridal party. It’s that special time where the bride is surrounded by her closest friends and family, soaking in the excitement before saying “I do.”
I recently planned a bridal party that truly captured the spirit of joy, elegance, and fun – and I couldn’t help but share a few thoughts on what makes this kind of celebration so meaningful.
It’s All About Connection
I always tell my brides: your bridal party should feel like a warm hug. It’s a time to connect, relax, laugh (and maybe cry a little), and feel supported. That’s why I like to create an atmosphere that encourages conversation, laughter, and shared memories – whether it’s a relaxed garden brunch or a chic rooftop toast at sunset.
Personal Touches Make It Special
One thing I love doing? Adding little details that reflect the bride’s personality. Custom robes, handwritten notes, a playlist of songs that bring back shared memories – these elements might seem small, but they create big emotion. The bridal party is not just an event, it’s a moment suspended in time.
Smooth Planning, Zero Stress
Bridal parties should never feel like an extra source of stress. That’s why I take care of everything – from the timing and logistics to making sure the setting matches the overall mood of the wedding. Whether the bridal party happens the night before the wedding or a few days ahead, I want everyone to enjoy it without worrying about a thing.
Capturing the Energy
I always recommend hiring a photographer or videographer to quietly capture the behind-the-scenes magic. The laughter, the glasses raised, the tight hugs – these are moments you’ll want to keep forever. And trust me, those candid photos often become some of the bride’s favorites.
No Rules – Just What Feels Right
Every group is different, every bride is different – and that’s the beauty of it. Sometimes we go for a soft, intimate vibe. Other times, it’s a full-blown party with music, dancing, and cocktails. What matters most is that the bride feels surrounded by love.
