Through Thick and Thin
They say that if you have five friends that you consider close or dearest to you then you are one lucky person. Throughout the course of one’s life there are many people that come and go but never really hang around through every season of life. Then there are those individuals that choose to hang in there during the most challenging seasons of one’s life, through every heartache, breakup and moment of sadness they choose to be there’ those individuals are the ones that become your bridesmaids.
On the most important day of your life it is those that have been with you through thick and thin that you want to share that day with, not just a casual friend. Being an active part of each other’s life is what makes the friendship so real and worth the continual investment of time. It is only your best friends that will be able to tolerate your bridezilla tendencies throughout the planning and orchestrating of the big day. Your bridesmaids are the ones that ooh and ah over your wedding dress, flatter you with compliments during dress alterations, organize the bachelorette party, yell at the caterer and compose elaborate toasts to your happiness.
When the planning, organizing and stressing is over and the Big Day finally arrives, sharing it with your best friends who feel more like sisters makes it all worthwhile. Though the day may be about you (the bride) it is hard to overlook the years and history that you all share and how life would not be as rich without these special friends. It is difficult to hold back emotions as your life flashes through your mind and every sweet memory you have ever shared together surfaces. How will you ever show your bridesmaids just how special they are to you?
It has become a tradition that brides share a gift with their wedding party the night before her wedding. A gift for the bridesmaid is to symbolize the friendship and bond that has been shared through the years. No gift can truly communicate one’s feelings however, a lovely gift such as jewelry for bridesmaids does show appreciation. Jewelry for bridesmaids is an excellent idea; a gift such as jewelry can help with bridesmaid uniformity and add chicness and elegance to the bridesmaid attire. The practicality of giving jewelry for bridesmaids’ gifts not only communicates appreciation for the wedding party but places value on the wedding party as well.
