Bridal News

Victoria Wagner, owner of A Splash of Elegance, a wedding planning firm in Reston, gets a lot of bridal etiquette questions. She thought this one was particularly interesting, so we thought we would share it with you.

Bride: “My mother insists that etiquette demands I ask all my sisters to be in my wedding party. Is this really necessary?”

Victoria’s Response: “This is a delicate question, for sure! It’s important to remember that a wedding is a time to bring people together, not cause friction, and sometimes as a bride, that means molding and shaping your wedding party to show your uniqueness. And, if you have multiple sisters, that certainly attributes to your uniqueness! I’ve heard of weddings where the bride had a Matron of Honor and two Maids of Honor, having all her sisters serve in that special role.”

Good advice! Victoria will be sharing more etiquette questions in future posts on the Bridal News Blog. And if you have an etiquette question, please feel free to email it to cindiereinhold@bridesandweddings.com or post it to me on the Brides & Weddings Facebook Fan page.

I just got back from meeting with my new client Stephanie Hughes, owner of Diamond Events (www.dcdiamondevents.com). Stephanie makes a regular habit of blogging about her weddings, so I added her to my Bridal Blog Links page.

Stephanie is going to be our eyes and ears out there in NoVA weddingland, reporting in on the latest trends, so look for her posts on Bridal News soon.
