A Bride's List of Duties

There are several benefits to being a bride. Aside from the fact that she is embarking upon one of the most memorable events in her life's history, being a bride comes with many perks. A bride's right to solicit help from friends and family ranks high on the list. Although the bride will have bridesmaids, her mother, a coordinator and other friends and family to help with the wedding plans, there are three duties that a bride will have to complete on her own. These duties include shopping for her wedding dress, choosing her bridesmaids, and purchasing bridesmaids gifts. It is easy to coordinate these duties by selecting bridesmaid jewelry gifts that compliment the bride's jewelry.Why are these tasks bride-specific?

Let's explore why selecting the bridal gown, bridesmaids, and bridesmaids gifts are the sole responsibility of the bride.

The wedding dress.

Although, the bride may have a close relative or a friend that is perfectly capable of selecting a likable wedding dress, it is the bride's right to make the final decision. In fact, there are not very many brides that are willing to let someone else choose their bridal gown. Not only is the wedding dress the focal point of a wedding ceremony, but also for the bride, it is the most exciting part of planning a wedding. Is selecting the wedding dress more important than choosing bridesmaids and bridesmaids gifts? Well, it totally depends on the bride. Generally speaking, most brides find it very important to choose their own wedding attire. Unless there are extenuating circumstances that may prevent the bride from picking her dress before the wedding day, it is a bride-specific duty.

The bridesmaids.

The purpose of choosing bridesmaids is to gain support throughout the engagement, wedding planning, and wedding ceremony. A bridesmaid is usually a close female relative or a best girlfriend. A bridesmaid should know the bride very well and be in a position to support her without reservation. The only person that is perfectly capable of choosing appropriate bridesmaids is the bride herself. With that said, let's move on to bridesmaids gift.

Bridesmaids gifts.
Bridesmaids work very hard to ease the load of planning a wedding for the bride. Although bridesmaids cannot take on the entire wedding on their own, their purpose is to support the bride as much as possible throughout the course of planning. It is only reasonable that the bride chooses her own bridesmaids gifts. It is not the gift itself that communicates the bride's gratitude, but it is the thought behind the gift that makes it more special. Therefore, it is not possible for someone else to communicate the bride's feelings off gratitude toward her bridesmaids.

A bride should never hesitate to ask for help, however, she should be aware of which of her duties are specifically designated for herself.
