Wedding Ceremony Participants: Who Should Be In The Wedding Party?

The wedding party is the people who actively participate in the wedding ceremony itself. Choosing who is to participate in your wedding depends on religion, location and the style of the wedding; you can also take into consideration any family traditions that have been carried down through the generations.

The wedding party may consist of only the couple marrying (or people marrying if it is a double wedding), maids of honor (or matron of honor), bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, best men, groomsmen, flower girls, page boys and ring bearers.
Wedding Party Functions & Duties

Maids of Honor & Matrons of Honor:

First we’ll clear up that most asked question: “What is the difference between maid of honor and matron of honor?”

The difference is purely semantics. Traditionally the chief unmarried (never married) female attending the wedding would be the “Maid of Honor”. For the most part we have modernized this by calling her the “Matron of Honor” this term encompasses married or previously married women. Nowadays, most brides choose the woman she has the closest relationship with to fill this position.

The “maid of honor” is the #1 bridesmaid!

Choosing: Traditionally the bride has only one maid/matron of honor; however, in recent times it is absolutely okay to have more than one and since the bride may have several close women to select from you may choose to have two or even three maids of honor. In cases where there is more than one you will select one to be the “senior” maid of honor.

Duties/Functions: The main function of a Maid of Honor is to act as an attendant to the bride-to-be, but also to be the “crisis counselor” and take care of any problems. She helps with wedding planning: picking invitations, venues, apparel, guest lists, basically being a personal aid to the bride-to-be. She plans the all important Bachelorette party. On the day of the wedding she helps get the bride prepared, helping the other bridesmaids dress and prepare for the wedding, pass messages to the groom, witness the marriage license, keeps the grooms ring, gives a toast and most importantly be there for moral support.

Apparel: Traditionally the Maids of Honor’s dress should be subtly different than the other bridesmaids so that she/they is recognized as the #1 attendant. A great way to do this is to simply invert the colors of her dress (instead of lilac & gold make it gold & lilac). Or you can go a bit subtler like a different color sash, flowers or simply have her carry a different type of bouquet.

Bridesmaids:

Bridesmaids are the women who attend to the bride-to-be on her wedding day. If there is a tween or teen girl (10-17 years old) you would like to be in the wedding party but are too old to be a flower girl she would then be a “Junior Bridesmaid”.

Choosing: Traditionally bridesmaids walk arm in arm with groomsmen up the aisle and they should be equal in number but it is okay if you have more bridesmaids than groomsmen. However, try to keep the number lean, too many may lead to undue ciaos.

Duties/Functions: The duties are basically the same as the Maid of Honor. Other duties may include assisting and seating guests.

Apparel: The bridesmaids will all wear matching dresses. The dresses can match the décor of the wedding. Keep in mind since the bridesmaids & maid of honor pay for their own apparel give them some choices and let them pick the dress they will wear from your selections.

The fresh innocence of a child adds a magical quality to a wedding!

Flower Girls

Selecting your flower girls is a little harder, pick girls who are old enough to take directions and remember what to do, try not to choose girls who tend to throw tantrums, show out or shy girls who get easily nervous.

Choosing: It is best to keep the flower girls ages between 4-10. The number of flower girls to have in the wedding party just depends on your personal preference and/or size of the wedding. You can choose just 1 flower girl for smaller weddings or 5 for larger weddings; it really is up to you.

Duties/Functions: The sweet flower girls can walk singly or in pairs with another flower girl or arm in arm with ring bearers for a cute couple look. The flower girls main objective is to scatter flowers before the bride & groom or simply carry a bouquet. They can also be assigned to lift the bride’s dress train while walking down the aisle if it is long.

Ring Bearers:

The ring bearers carry either a symbolic pillow without the actual rings (which can be held by the best man) or the actual rings can be tied onto the pillow. The ring bearer stay in the same age range as the flower girls.

Other Functions for Children

If you have other children you want in the wedding but have no room in the wedding party than they can be attendants. Most children’s do this very well and take their responsibility seriously. Their functions would be seating guests, taking hats & coats, handing out programs, fans, etc,. They can help during the wedding and then the reception. The best ages for this are 6-17.

Having children through the wedding give the entire service a heavenly feel and makes for adorable memories!

Dress Your Daughter for The Hollywood Red Carpet (Everyday)!

Is Your Daughter A Trend Setter?






Nomatter her age you want your daughter to look her best because what she wears IS a reflection on you (whether we like it or not). Furthermore, your child is constantly trying to keep up or outdo her peers in many ways and fashion is in the forefront of this competition, your daughters self esteem can also be boasted or deflated due to what her peers say about what she is wearing.

This being said…. When you shop for her do you go to the same store all the other moms shop at and buy the clothing you see being worn by all the other kids around OR do you look for the most gorgeous and unique clothes you can find?

If you answered yes to the 1st question than you might as well click off right now, run to Old Navy and pick out a couple of uniform shirts and allow your child to blend right into the fashion background.

If you answered yes to the 2nd question and want your daughter to be a Fashion Superstar than please read on……..

Hollywood’s youth does it all the time~ They walk down the red carpet or can be seen in magazines looking amazing and wearing unique clothes you can't find anywhere ~Your pre-teen or teenage daughter stares at those magazine for hours wanting to look just like their fav teenage icons. But where can you find those grand garments? Unfortunately the only ads in the magazines are for retail stores that do not sell that "eye catching" fashion you've seen or they sell item you can ill afford.

The words you want to refer to for these Awesome Beverly Hills Attire are: Unique and Stylish (and for all of us out here that are not in the tiny 1% of the uber wealthy population Affordable would be the 3rd word).

The movie stars, popstars and super models your daughter looks up to, all have one thing in common. They all wear dashing, distinctive clothing that stand out in the crowd (I’m not talking about the scary, out there fashion you see on the runway). I’m going to give you a few ideas that may help you achieving this type of wardrobe.

Tip 1: You may or may not know this but the nice thing about these magazines is that they usually list who supplied the wardrobe on the top or bottom of the page. This is the best tip to "Name that Fashion"! Because many of these designers are little known in our circles and most of the time they are reasonably priced this is a great way to go about fattening her wardrobe without thinning your wallet. So look through her magazines and pick up a couple of these names.

Tip 2: Outrageous may be a form of unique but it is not necessarily Stylish!!! I cannot press this enough!! Runway models wear some hideous stuff and the oohs & aahs you hear in the audience does not mean that you should put your daughter in these clothes. PLEASE DON’T put your child in an outfit that she is embarrassed to wear; if she doesn't like it, chances are neither will her classmates and this may only hurt her self image!!! The purpose of the runways in many cases is to show what the designer CAN do.

Tip 3: Unique is Great! If it’s stylish & cute the uniqueness will make it a one of a kind, stand out in the crowd, every girl in school will want it, kind of outfit. Do this right and your daughter can be the trend starter of her school and other will look to HER for the next fashion do’s.

Tip 4: It doesn’t have to be a big name to be a big hit. Look to handmade or custom made clothing stores. This is the absolute best way to find her that one of the kind wear. Because handmade is custom, every single one will be different no matter what. You can even talk to the designer of these handcrafted clothes to make them a little more singular by added on ribbons, bows, sequins, beads, tulle, orgaza or anything else your heart desires and most of these small companies will be all too happy to do it for you.

Tip 5: Visit our website for many of these items we just talked about. www.IsabellasFate.com . We offer many item by designers that have been seen in magazines, teen choice awards, the red carpet and even movie posters. We offer companies such as: Three Peas Couture that have been seen in the limelight at the Teen Choice Awards being worn by Noah Cyrus, in Popstar Magazine and is even on the movie poster for the Soulstice Saga movie poster (coming in 2011) and many more. Mud Pie is an adorable infant clothing line that has been seen on many Hollywood babies and have made dozens of magazines. Many of our other brands are handmade and unique (just what you are looking for).
