Asking your best girls to be your best &#8216;maids is one of the most exciting parts of the planning process. If I could do it all again, I&#8217;d be taking notes from this sweet bride-to-be who rounded up her ladies in a special &#8220;Park Date&#8221; complete with cupcakes, macaroons, and champers, brought along Laura Clarke Photography, and popped the question: &#8220;Will you be my bridesmaid?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How To Ask Your Bridesmaids: <\/p>\n<p>1. MAKE IT PERSONAL<\/p>\n<p>Give your girls something that they will have forever &#8211; and will always remind them of the special day you asked them to be a part of your biggest day! <\/p>\n<p>From the bride-to-be&#8230; &#8220;I wanted to give them something that they could have for years to come. Tie in that I&#8217;m a big fan of romantic, traditional keepsakes, I thought a handkerchief would be something sweet and would also be unique to our friendships.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>2. MAKE IT SPECIAL<\/p>\n<p>Throw a special little party! As if you need a reason to celebrate with your girls. <\/p>\n<p>From the bride-to-be&#8230; &#8220;I&#8217;m also a big fan of parties and celebrations so I knew I had to ask them in a celebratory way with us all together. With the park across from my condo being our typical landmark, gathering and starting point to most of our events, I knew that it was the perfect location. So I asked the girls to all come to a little &#8216;Park Date&#8217;.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>3. MAKE IT YUMMY<\/p>\n<p>Treats are a must, no matter what the event. And a gathering of all your favorite ladies definitely calls for a gathering of all your favorite treats. <\/p>\n<p>From the bride-to-be&#8230; &#8220;Knowing how much we all love sweets, it was full of desserts and champagne. I ordered cupcakes, macaroons and meringues from a favorite shop of ours, Bobbette &amp; Belle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>4. MAKE IT PRETTY<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re always advocates of blooms, and this is no exception!<\/p>\n<p>From the bride-to-be&#8230; &#8220;Since no celebration is complete without flowers, I picked up some colourful stems from Florabunda also in pink tones.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>5. MAKE IT BUBBLY<\/p>\n<p>Celebrate this special occasion right, don&#8217;t forget to bring the bubbly (and maybe a few pretty straws to sip from).<\/p>\n<p>From the bride-to-be&#8230; The celebration kicked off with a champagne toast which lead into asking the girls to be my bridesmaids. Each girl unwrapped their handkerchief and they were a huge hit and surprise!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>6. MAKE IT FUN<\/p>\n<p>Bring along your favorite photographer and practice your smile. You&#8217;re all going to appreciate the camera warm up come wedding day &#8211; and what better way to remember the day! <\/p>\n<p>From the bride-to-be&#8230; &#8220;After all the hugs we had some more bubbly and proceeded to our mini photo shoot. Not only was I able to spend more time with my friends but I was also able to show them how much they mean to me and now we have these wonderful photos to look back on for years to come!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pearl-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/oldblog\/lauraclarkephotographybrides.jpg\" alt=\"lauraclarkephotographybrides.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"><\/p>\n<p>Author: Mallory Recor; Source: Style Me Pretty<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He popped the question, now it&#8217;s your turn.
