Erie Weddings at Erie Blogs

Are you a bridesmaid at an Erie wedding and you are not sure of what your responsbilities will include? 

 If so, visit the Bridal Guide’s Bridesmaid Tell All to read about what you can expect.  It’s also a good read for couples, who should keep in mind the effort everyone else is putting into your wedding to make it special. 

Being a bridesmaid or groomsmen is an honor for your friends– but it’s also a committment to spend time and money on rental fees, hotel rooms, plane tickets, beauty, and more.  Show your wedding party how much they mean to you by keeping them in mind throughout your wedding planning!  Everyone wants their wedding to be perfect.  Make it perfect for everyone…

What Do We Do, Anyway?

Traditionally, the bridesmaid’s duties are to assist the bride, but responsibilities vary from couple to couple and wedding to wedding. Attendants may host or help plan pre-wedding festivities such as the bridal shower and bachelorette bashes. Maids are also expected to buy their dresses, shoes and other required apparel for the wedding, as well as purchase shower and wedding gifts.

But not every bridesmaid realizes the extent of what’s expected of her. “Usually you kind of hope and pray that someone else in the bridal party has a clue,” says Christine. “A good friend of mine got married when she was just out of college and the maid of honor she chose had never even been to a wedding, so one of the other bridesmaids and I had to step in and take over the reins,” scheduling dress-shopping trips and organizing the shower.

There are many resources– both online and in books– to help bridesmaid’s understand their duties.  Barnes and Noble has a great selection.  This could be a great gift from a bride to her wedding party when she asks them to be apart of the wedding.

Little Details wishes everyone a happy and safe holiday.  I hope that some of our Christmas brides will be blogging for us.  For those who have wanted to write something, but haven’t yet, there is no deadline on submissions.

As hard is it may be to believe, Erie is actually having two bridal shows this January.  They are back to back weekends (cant we spread these out, folks? I mean, c’mon).  I am trying to get confirmed dates for both.  One will be at the Ambassador Court Yard Marriott (where I am getting married) and the other will be at the new Bayfront Convention Center.

Shows go on

The 2008 Star 104 Bridal Showcase and Expo will go on as scheduled at Erie’s bayfront convention center, even if the host hotel isn’t ready to open.   (View link for the whole story)
