You are now **engaged** and have the big decision of choosing the lucky **bridesmaids** who will stand with you on your big day. But you have a big circle of **friends** and an even bigger **family**, or maybe you are an only child with a small group of friends, either way how do you decide? It's a big moment for you and your husband-to-be and you want this moment to be special and only those who matter most should share that moment.... ## 5. Someone You Can Trust... ![Someone You Can Trust...](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/wedding/2011/04/bm31_415x276.jpg) Photo: [Wayne Yuan Photography](http://www.wayneyuan.com/)via [StyleMePretty](https://www.stylemepretty.com/vault/gallery/wayne-yuan-photography+807) No matter if your **maid of honor** and **bridesmaids** are family or friends, make sure they are someone you can **trust**. This is one of the most important days of your life and you don't need a person in your **wedding** **party **causing drama, pulling out of the wedding at the last minute, or planning an outrageous bachelorette party. You want your ladies, or guys, to be someone you can share secrets with, a person who will tell you the **truth** about your wedding gown, and someone you feel close to. Thats why I knew my best friend was the perfect person to be my maid of honor, I can trust her with everything and anything! ## 4. Ladies You Love... ![Ladies You Love...](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/wedding/2011/04/bridesmaids2_420x308.jpg) Photo: [Q Weddings](https://qweddings.com/)via [StyleMePretty](https://www.stylemepretty.com/vault/gallery/q-weddings+801) Your lucky ladies should be someone you **love** and have a special bond with. There will be things you will share during planning, the bridal shower, and on your wedding day that only those who hold a special place in your heart should experience. I love the idea of having your **children** or soon-to-be stepchildren in your wedding. My two **stepdaughters** were my **bridesmaids** and we shared some of the best moments and memories that we will remember forever. ## 3. Someone You Feel Comfortable with... ![Someone You Feel Comfortable with...](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/wedding/2011/04/bm51_415x277.jpg) Photo: [Docuvitae](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.docuvitae.com/)via [StyleMePretty](https://www.stylemepretty.com/vault/gallery/docuvitae+3214) There are going to be some silly, embarrassing, and funny moments on your big day and there may be some friends and family members who you wouldn't want to share these memories with. Don't forget, when you have to go to the bathroom you'll want the girls you feel most **comfortable** with to help you with your big ball gown! As a bride you want to be **relaxed** and at ease with the women around you, you don't need another detail to worry about. ## 2. Girls That Celebrate with Style... ![Girls That Celebrate with Style...](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/wedding/2011/04/bridesmaids1_420x438.jpg) Photo: [Kawartha Photography](http://ww25.kawarthaphotography.com/?subid1=20220718-0452-0789-b8c8-90fbc4e2dba0)via [StyleMePretty](https://www.stylemepretty.com/vault/gallery/distinct-occasions+479) Remember these are the girls who will plan your **bridal shower** and **bachelorette party**, you don't want to choose girls who go wild when they celebrate! You want to have fun during these times, but you don't want to end up on [Funniest Home Videos](https://goo.gl/171CEV)or end up in jail because someone drank too much and caused a fight! Celebrate with the ladies who **party in style** and with poise. ## 1. Ladies Who Laugh... ![Ladies Who Laugh...](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/wedding/2011/04/bm41_417x278.jpg) Photo: [McGowan Images](https://mcgowanimages.com/blog/)via [StyleMePretty](https://www.stylemepretty.com/vault) Though you want to make sure they celebrate in style, you also want them to be your friends and family members who know how to **laugh** and **have a good time**. Don't pick your cousin who bosses everyone around or your friend who likes to take control of everything. You want your bridal party to get along, share the responsibilities, and not make you ( the bride) worry! **Who will you choose for your lucky group of bridesmaids?** ## Related Posts - [cinderella wedding invitation](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/ways-to-plan-a-fairytale-wedding/) - [who should be your maid of honor](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/8-tips-on-choosing-a-maid-of-honor/) - [6 Ways to Color Your Wedding Bright with Yellow .....](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/ways-to-color-your-wedding-bright-with-yellow/) - [fire themed wedding](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/5-cozy-winter-weddings-to-heat-up-your-fire/) - [balloons for wedding reception](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/4-ways-to-be-inspired-by-wedding-balloons/) - [christmas songs you can dance to](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/5-christmas-songs-to-play-at-your-winter-wedding/) - [7 Reasons to Hire a Wedding Planner ...](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/7-reasons-to-hire-a-wedding-planner/) - [5 Ways to Plan an Eco-Friendly Wedding ...](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/ways-to-plan-an-eco-friendly-wedding/) - [4 Wedding Details to Get Your Groom Involved with ...](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/4-wedding-details-to-get-your-groom-involved-with/) - [loreal stylo enchanted](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/5-real-brides-that-will-catch-your-eye/) - [5 Unique Things for Your Bridesmaids to Carry ...](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/5-unique-things-for-your-bridesmaids-to-carry/) - [5 Theme Ideas for a Bridal Shower ...](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/theme-ideas-for-a-bridal-shower/) ## Site Information - [Main page](https://allwomenstalk.com) - [Contact us](https://allwomenstalk.com/contact.html) - [HTML article](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/5-ways-to-choose-your-bridesmaids/)
