While these trends can sometimes feel a bit consumerist driven, they do add a bit of excitement to the early stages of wedding prep. Plus, this is a great excuse to give some love to a few important ladies in your life.
Of course this is NOT a necessity. There is absolutely nothing wrong with calling up your sister and asking “hey, will you be a bridesmaid in my wedding?” Honestly, 99% of these little details won’t matter on your actual wedding day. So if you’re a low-key lady and you’re thinking “Why would I propose to the people who are going to be holding my dress while I pee?” I hear you- so skip the hassle and get yourself a bottle of wine.
For everyone else…get your glue guns ready.
