Why having a personal attendant is so crucial
Your big day is here! There have been so many little factors, a lot of time, and energy that have gone into this day, and now is the time to enjoy it! A personal attendant can be your biggest lifesaver. Here are a couple sample situations:
- The bridesmaid and bride are finishing getting ready and the venue doesn’t know where to put to cake and it just arrived. The Personal Attendant to the rescue; the bridal party can keep on time while she attends to the cake situation.
- The Groom or groomsmen don’t know how to put on their suspenders or need help with their ties! The Personal Attendant to the rescue; if she doesn’t know how, I’m sure she can Youtube it!
- The Bride and Groom just had their first look, and there were many tears – because, of course, it was an emotional experience! The Personal Attendant to the rescue; she has tissues to help blot and also makeup to help touch up.
- The Bride and Groom are taking photos and the bride needs help walking with her dress. The Personal Attendant to the rescue; she helps carry the dress to help keep it clean.
- The Ceremony is about to start and Grandma isn’t sure where she is suppose to be. The Personal Attendant to the rescue; she helps to point Grandma (or maybe some other unsure guests, in the right direction)
I could go on and on with different situations that the personal attendant is crucial, but this post would be pages long! I also truly believe that a coordinator can help fill these roles too, but it is helpful to the Bride (and Photographer!) to have a personal attendant. She often is a close friend or family member of the bride, and knows the family and bride well. As a photographer, a personal attendant is very helpful with family formal photography as I don’t know all the guests and their roles to the bride.
