A Day-Before Duty for Every Bridesmaid & Matron of Honor:
A proactive bridesmaid, matron of honor, and wedding party member start their duties a day ahead. Your first task? Ensuring that the outfits for the bride, groom, nearlywed and bridesmaids, and any wedding party member are impeccably steamed and hung, preferably on identical hangers. This small detail enhances the visual appeal while keeping the getting ready room organized and ready for action, far away from potential makeup and hair product and avoiding steam ruining the makeup and hair.
