 What is a bridal attendant? A bridal attendant is a trained staff member by your side on the day of your wedding to assist you and your bridal party with all of your day of needs. 

What exactly does a bridal attendant do?

The goal of the Bridal Attendant is to keep you happy, stress free and comfortable throughout the day. Bridal attendants do many things during the day of your weddings ranging from helping put on your dress to helping you pack up your things at the end of the night.

  • Help Prepare you for ceremony (holding your dress, placing your veil, holding your flowers)
  • Coordinate the line-up of your bridal party and family for ceremony
  • Fluff your dress and placing your veil before you walk down the aisle

Our bridal attendants will be there to anticipate your every need, take care of all the little things, help you keep to the timeline and more!
