Let's Create the Ceremony Together with Your Bridesmaids ♡
Asking your close friends to be your bridesmaids.
Having bridesmaids dressed in beautiful gowns makes the wedding ceremony much more vibrant and festive, doesn’t it? ♡
The origin of the custom of bridesmaids is to protect the bride from jealous spirits by dressing similarly to her, thereby confusing the evil eye.*
Therefore, in the past, bridesmaids were responsible for staying close to the bride throughout the wedding, fixing her dress and assisting her.
But nowadays, the role of assisting the bride, including dress adjustments, is typically performed by an attendant.
So, it's recommended to assign your bridesmaids different roles instead! ♡
One of those roles is to participate in the ceremony where you vow your love and help create the ceremony together.*
Here are some recommended ceremony performances that experienced brides have successfully asked their bridesmaids to do, which will create wonderful new memories with your beloved friends! ♡
Ceremony Performance Idea 1: Escort for the Bride's Entrance
The first idea is to ask your bridesmaids to serve as escorts during the bride's entrance.*
This bride opted for a separate ceremony abroad, so she entered the ceremony in Japan with her bridesmaids. ♩
The sight of entering with bridesmaids on either side is incredibly glamorous and moving!
Ceremony Performance Idea 2: Role of Laying Down the Aisle Runner
Another bride found a way to ask her bridesmaids to lay down an original aisle runner over the virgin road.*
It’s a big responsibility, with guests even expressing pressure over whether it could be laid down beautifully…
But the moment the entire aisle runner is revealed after it’s all laid out will surely excite everyone in the venue! ♩
Ceremony Performance Idea 3: Leading with Flags
Holding flags designed with "Here Comes the BRIDE" and leading the bride's entrance is also a lovely idea. ♡
When two bridesmaids hold the ends of the flagsticks, it creates a tremendously festive atmosphere! ♩
Ceremony Performance Idea 4: Bringing the Rings
It’s standard to ask children from your relatives or nieces to be the ring bearers, but asking your bridesmaids to do it is definitely recommended too! ♡
It’s a “ring lady” instead of a ring girl!*
The friend you asked might say, "Thank you for trusting me with carrying your precious wedding rings...!" and express gratitude in return. ♡
Ceremony Performance Idea 5: Witness of Marriage
Lastly, for brides having a civil ceremony, here’s a suggestion to ask your bridesmaids to be witnesses of your marriage. ♡
After exchanging vows, they can sign as witnesses on the marriage registration as representatives of the attendees. ♩
Since you can only choose one from the groom's and one from the bride's side, it’s preferable to ask your closest friend!*
