Yes, from the groomsmen to the bridesmaids, a lot has been written about the how they entire wedding entourage came to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Today, it is but proper for the bridesmaids to wear the best and the most interesting <a title=\"Bridesmaids dresses\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridesmaids.html\">bridesmaid dresses<\/a>. In the past, bridesmaid dresses are limited to mimicking the bridal gown? Let\u2019s see why.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Early Roman World<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During this period, bridesmaids formed some kind of a protective shield or an infantry in order to protect the bride as she travels from her place to the village of the groom. Protection was needed as there\u2019s always a possibility of thugs hurting the bride or suitors stealing her away. You can see here that even at such an early civilization, violence has always been one of the by-products of unrequited love.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the Western World<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The tradition begins with complying with the wedding ceremony requirement of having ten witnesses. The aim of this requisite is to outsmart evil souls and spirits who are believed to be in attendance during the ceremony. Thus, it is but proper that bridesmaid dresses are identical to that of the bride (the attire of men ushers must also be identical of the groom\u2019s) so the so-called evil spirits would have a hard time identifying which of the ladies and gentlemen present are being wed.<\/p>\n<p>If you take a look at wedding photographs of Victorian marriages, you\u2019d really have a hard time identifying which of the couples got married simply because of the sameness of the clothes that the entourage is wearing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Today\u2019s World<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These days, the need for a female troop to protect a bride is no longer imminent. This clearly eliminates the fact that bridesmaid dresses need to be identical with the bride\u2019s. However, bridesmaid dresses should still be in harmony with the theme of the <a title=\"Wedding decor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/wedding-decor-toronto.php\">wedding ceremony<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-309\" title=\"Wedding decor\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Prem-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding decor\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Prem-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Prem-416x276.jpg 416w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Prem-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Prem.jpg 1090w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And although bridesmaids are no longer required to help fend off curses and hexes and evil spirits altogether, they still maintain a vital role in the entire wedding ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>For example, they need to provide key support to the bride. This may be in terms of shopping for the perfect <a title=\"Wedding gown\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/brides.html\">wedding gown<\/a> or scouting for the most reasonably-priced hotel for the couple\u2019s out-of-town guests. In addition, bridesmaids would also prove to be such a great help in looking for least costly but memorable <a title=\"Wedding favors\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/wedding-favors.php\">wedding favors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-308\" title=\"Wedding favor\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/8783.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding favor\" width=\"139\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/8783.jpg 139w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/8783-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 139px) 100vw, 139px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, their responsibility to the couple &#8212; especially to the bride &#8212; is not only confined in the wedding ceremony itself. There is still bridal a shower to host and organize.<\/p>\n<p>Being a bridesmaid is truly demanding &#8212; in a positive way. If you are one, make sure you prepare yourself to get busy months or even years before the special date. You need to spare some time in taking care of wedding preparations. And the payoff for all of these hardwork and sweat? A gorgeous gown that you can wear down the aisle!<\/p>\n<p>You see, the function of bridesmaids hasn\u2019t really changed that much over the years. It has never really made a 360-degree turn, it simply has modernized and has adapted to modern times. Because the fact is, wearing those bridesmaid dresses (identical to the bride\u2019s or otherwise) gives bridesmaids one role: supporting the bride.<\/p>\n<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"letreach_post_category\" value=\"Bridesmaid Dresses\">","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that the whole wedding ceremony has a long and rich history?
