For bridesmaids: the confetti complete guide

You’ve been picked to be bridesmaid. Now what?

Did you know that the role of the bridesmaid dates from pagan times, when evil spirits were thought to attend wedding ceremonies?  By surrounding the bride with ‘look-a-likes’ -- similarly dressed attendants of her own age -- it was thought the evil ones would not be able to single out the bride.

And frankly, in that fuchsia taffeta horror the bride forced you into, you’d frighten the devil himself...

Only kidding!  Being asked to be chief bridesmaid is an honour and most modern brides will at least let you influence the style of your dress, if not the colour.

Also, it’s a great excuse to spend months shopping with the bride and to get really involved in her wedding day. The confetti Complete Guide will take you through everything you need to know to be a great bridesmaid.
