Each girl is looking forward to the moment when her lover will make her a marriage proposal, after which she acquires a special status and turns into a bride. For the solemn ceremony to be excellent and remain for a long time in the memory of newlyweds and guests, the girl needs to solve many preparatory issues. Without the help of a girlfriend with this one can not cope, so wedding efforts begin with the choice of a responsible witness.

A bridesmaid is often called a witness, as she is not only near the bride and groom at the wedding, her functions also include painting on documents in the registry office. Therefore, for this role, usually choose girls with whom the bride has a relationship of trust. The witness needs to know what is required of her and what is included in the main tasks at the wedding ceremony. The list of functions of the girlfriend directly depends on the peculiarities of the celebration and the personal wishes of the bride. Therefore, if a large-scale event is planned, then it is recommended to choose several girlfriends, each of whom will do his own business.

As a rule, the bridesmaid at the wedding is engaged in the following matters.

• First helps in the preparation of the celebration. The witness is considered to be the assistant to the bride and the presence of organizational skills is required of her. The girl does everything that the culprit asks for her. She needs to consider in detail all the nuances of the ceremony and help the bride with a choice of shoes, veils and dresses.
• On the day of the celebration, the girlfriend should come before all the guests and help the bride and groom to gather and give farewell to the groom, invited relatives, to avoid fuss. Upon the arrival of the groom, she also directs the bride ransom process. She should check that the newlyweds do not forget their rings and passports.

• During the direct marriage girlfriend can play the role of official witness.
• The girl needs to control the sequence of all events and not allow the young to be late to the registry office, to the photo session and to the church if the program provides for a wedding. At the same time, during the wedding, the witness also has responsible responsibilities, which you need to know and discuss the details with the priest in advance. For example, a girlfriend should have with her several kerchiefs in case someone of the guests forgets to take them.
• During the painting help the newlywed to support the wedding bouquet, and after congratulating the guests to the assistant, you need to collect all the bouquets.

• The witness needs to prepare in advance the coins and rose petals for sprinkling the young; you must also arrange for the guests.
• At the end of the painting the girl is engaged in seating invited at the banquet table. She should not only agree with the waiters to serve dishes, but also actively participate in dances, games and fun contests.
• A friend needs to constantly be a “lifesaver” for the young: accompany her to the restroom, monitor her makeup and the appearance of the decoration. In order to prevent embarrassing situations, girls should have spare stockings, hairpins, napkins, pins and threads with a needle just in case.

The bride's girlfriend is considered her main support and support on the day of the celebration. To overcome the excitement and fully enjoy the atmosphere of the holiday, the bride and groom need to choose the right assistant, who will take part not only in preparation for the ceremony, but also solve many other organizational troubles. Therefore, the witness must be responsible and collected.

Today, it is in fashion to invite a few assistants to the wedding, who distribute duties among themselves, thus all issues are resolved faster and more efficiently. But in this case it is necessary to remember that helpers are girls, and they can be offended and argue. As a result, a fun celebration will turn into a solid showdown. Therefore, it is best to choose one reliable girlfriend. A good option for this may be a sister (not necessarily dear) or one of the relatives of the groom (her choice will help strengthen future family ties).

If the bride was a witness to her close friends, this does not mean that she is obliged to choose their helpers. By tradition, the girlfriend should be unmarried, so resentment is inappropriate here. In addition, it is best to choose a witness according to the height and build of the bride, so that her appearance is in harmony with the image of a young woman. It is advisable to give preference to girls with a sense of humor and organizational skills. It should be a tireless beauty, who would not just sit in the corner, and actively participated in competitions and dances.

You should not take a girl as a witness if she:

• Married. Of course, in many Western countries, the status of a lady does not play a special role, but it is still customary not to take as a girlfriend blood married relatives, divorced women and widows. This is considered a bad omen.
• Forgetful and non-punctual person. Since the witness is the right hand of the bride, she should not be late and delay the ceremonial events with ridiculous actions. The constant absent-mindedness of a girlfriend can end up with the fact that the young ones will be left without wedding glasses, and the guests will not be able to find their seats at the table.
• Endowed with overconfidence. At the wedding, only the bride should be the main “star”, but if the witness is always used to being in the center of attention, then she will not do. The image of the bride can not overshadow the other radiance.

In addition, witnesses must take into account the following signs.

• According to the old belief, the bridesmaid should wear a dress in green, pink, blue and golden hues. At the same time at least one of the many accessories should be green. In this way, the beauty will be able to quickly find a loving husband.
• You can be a witness no more than two times, since the third is considered unsuccessful. If a girl does not take this into account, then perhaps she will have to wait a long time for her marriage. It is advisable to choose a helper from distant relatives under the bride.

The bride's friend should look beautiful, but at the same time, she should not stand out too sharply against the hero of the occasion. Therefore, selecting the outfit for the witness, as well as creating her image, it is important to consider a number of nuances.

• Color design. The dress can be a lavender, gold, blue or green hue. It is impossible for a friend to wear a dress in white and dark colors, for example, a black and snow-white dress is unacceptable. The robes in pastel and beige shades will also look beautiful.

• Features of style. Since girlfriends usually order attire, it is necessary to choose a beautiful and stylish cut that would harmoniously combine with the bride's attire.In this case, it is undesirable to stop the choice on creating an image in a business or austere style; one cannot choose dresses with a deep neckline, as this will give the image of vulgarity. A good choice would be an outfit of the usual cut without a fluffy skirt with a slight asymmetry. As for the length, it can be different - mini, dresses in the floor or models to the knees.

• The cloth. As a rule, for tailoring bridesmaids dresses choose chiffon, satin or satin. If there are several witnesses at the wedding, their outfits are made in the same color and style, using material of the same texture.

• Convenience. Since the witness will have to spend a lot of time in various amusements and dances, her outfit should not be cramped, comfortable and should not restrict movement. Best for this suit transforming dresses or simple styles.

In the image of the witness you need to carefully think about the make-up, hairstyle and choose the right accessories. Everything should be in harmony with the overall style of the celebration. Since the girlfriend will need to move actively and a lot, she needs to get comfortable shoes, replacing a high pin with a wedge. It does not hurt also to have a spare pair of shoes. As for accessories, bracelets, hairpins and a small handbag should be the perfect complement to the dress.

If several witnesses are invited to the wedding, then the design of their image should be taken more responsibly. To make friends look great in photos, their outfits need to be sewn in the same style from the same fabric, giving preference to the same color. It is also necessary to pay attention to the color of the hair and skin of girls, their figures. An interesting solution will be and tailoring dresses in the same style, but in different colors, it will give the wedding a game of bright colors. Bouquets, ribbons or belts of the same shade will help to unite all the girls in a single image.

Unusual will look at the celebration and girls, in the form of which there is the effect of "ombre". That is, each girlfriend will have to wear a dress of the same color, but of different shades, for example, smooth transitions from turquoise to blue dew or bright fuchsia to a delicate rose. Several bridesmaids can also be combined into one style with the help of dresses with a print. If the design of the celebration allowed the use of dresses with patterns, you can choose beautiful dresses with a cage, geometric patterns, peas and flowers.

For all girls, the wedding is considered not only a celebration, but also an opportunity to show off beauty. Therefore, making out the image of the witness, the bride must take into account her personal wishes. In the case when the equipment of girlfriends is different and some of them have magnificent forms, then they do not need to sew the same outfits. It should pick up the original styles, which in a special way emphasize the beauty of each girl. For example, you can give preference to long dresses, decoration in the Greek style or dresses-columns.

Marriage is considered the happiest event in the life of young people, so the bride's friend needs not only to take care of her image, to cope with all organizational issues, but also to present the original gift to the newlyweds. It should be unusual and remind about itself for a long time, so the traditional sets of dishes or bed linen, which usually give relatives, in this case are excluded. So, a photo album can become a pleasant and unexpected gift, its design can be independently thought out and made to order. A good solution would be a photo archive, designed in the form of a wooden chest with pull-out drawers.

A great gift will be a certificate to visit a beauty salon or a famous restaurant in the city for two. Now gifts in the form of technology are also in fashion, so if the bride has long dreamed of a new gadget or things from the Hi-Tech series, then such a purchase will be appreciated. If financial capabilities allow, the witness can give a young smartphone, e-book or laptop. A symbolic souvenir that will suit both the bride and the groom will be a wonderful gift. The only thing that it should be useful and not wallow after a wedding in a pile of unnecessary things.
