Perhaps even earlier than that! Especially if you are childhood friends or you’ve chosen a sibling to be a bridesmaid. You may have been planning out both your big days together, keep a scrapbook or a Pinterest board full, of images of everything you want from dress and flower ideas to venues and menus!
Incorporate music than evokes magical memories
Did you think about what music you wanted though back then? Other than the tune you wanted to make your grand entrance to, what about the rest of the music. It’s your opportunity to wow your wedding crowd with some uplifting and awesome music as a precursor to getting the party started! Do you and your girlfriends have some favorite songs that sum up your friendship? Or bring back fun memories of the times you’ve all spent together? They might be memories that no-one else is aware of but that your bridesmaids will automatically recognize the importance of the minute the DJ drops the record!
The music you select can set the tone for your celebration.
Music is not only a great way of personalizing an event, but it can also add a lot of atmosphere and dictate the tone of various parts of the day. It is of course also a fantastic way of celebrating and giving a 3-minute homage to your unique bridesmaids for their duties and support throughout. Allow them momentarily to have all eyes on them, rather than you! After all, they look stunning too, and plenty of care and attention to detail will have gone into their dresses, hair, and make-up, so they deserve to have their moment in the spotlight. Let them bask momentarily in the wedding day glory! Plus, depending upon which tunes you pick, you could always try and embarrass them one last time for the bachelorette pranks they pulled on you!
It’s time to kick back and party!
