It usually is the duty of the bridal party to
wait on the bride in the months leading up
to the wedding and also on the big day
itself. The maid of honor and the
bridesmaids are to and ensure that the
bride’s every need is attended to and that
she is properly taken care of; no frayed
nerves, no frustrations, just peace and
tranquillity through it all.
However, this means that the bridal party
usually misses out on fun aspects of the day
and are themselves stressed whilst
attending to the bride (missed photo
shoots, missed meals and drinks, throbbing
feet, headaches, sweaty makeup, the list is
endless) .
Also there’s busy work/school schedules,
distance, personal and medical emergencies
which might hinder a bridesmaid from
performing her duties in the weeks/months
leading up to the wedding.
A Bridal Concierge (also known as a
Personal Bridal Assistant) is on hand to
attend to a bride's every need in the period
leading up to her big day and on the day
itself. She's there with the bride every single
step of the way, at every turn, and for every
thing imaginable that is required in the
planning process.
She also relieves the bridal party of their
duties and is there to make sure that
everyone has a great time being pampered
and enjoying all the fun of the party.

WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE A BRIDAL ASSISTANT.

The most important factor is cost. These days, hiring a wedding planner will set you back by about 20-30% of your wedding budget on average.
A Bridal Assistant will only cost you a tiny fraction of that. A little goes a long way with us. And we perform many more tasks than the average wedding planner.
Other reasons are:

1. If you’re going to DIY-plan your
wedding yet want help in running
errands and wedding day coordination,
the bridal concierge is your girl.
2. If you want professional help in planning
your wedding yet want someone to fill in
for aspects of the planning which will
surely not be covered under a wedding
planner’s contract, the bridal concierge is
your girl.
3. If you want someone with
administrative skills to oversee all pre-
wedding and post-wedding activities
and be there for you every step of the
way, the bridal concierge is your girl.
4. If you need someone with a knack for
damage control and who’s armed with
an emergency kit to take care of virtually
every wedding-day emergency which
may arise, the bridal concierge is your
girl.
5. If you’re a busy executive or an out-of-
town bride and need someone to be
your eyes and ears on everything (and
that means EVERYTHING) wedding-
related, the bridal concierge is definitely
your girl.
All-in-all, your bridal concierge is your one-
stop “shop” for everything you’ll need in
ensuring that your wedding goes as
smoothly as possible and that you’re the
pampered, happy bride you deserve to be.
