A successful wedding is always the result of a team effort by many of the bride's and groom's loved ones. Choosing the right people to help, as well as being the wedding, is one of the first and most important decisions the couple will make.
The best man is usually a close friend or relative of the groom, and as an important key player in the wedding party should be chosen with care. Please read on for more detailed information in the following article.
Small bridesmaids often wear the same colour and style of dress as the adult attendants but you can choose to dress them quite differently as long as the different outfits compliment each other in some way. As with adult styles, little dresses can be bought at ready-to-wear retailers, hired for the day, or made to measure. Please read on for more detailed information in the following article.
Contrary to popular belief, the groom's role in organising a wedding extends far beyond deciding what to wear at the stag party and managing to turn up at the church in a presentable manner. Please read on for more detailed information in the following article.
Bridesmaids are most often dressed in a style and colour that complements the bridal gown. However, it is not compulsory for them to all wear the same style dress or the same colour, especially if they are of different builds or colouring.
Traditionally, the bride's mother carries the responsibility for the social side of the event and as the hostess she will issue the invitations to the ceremony and to the reception afterwards. Her most important role though, is to support her daughter in all the stages of the planning of the wedding, even if her daughter's plans are somewhat different to the ones she may have chosen herself.

As the bride, your wedding day will be one of the most, if not the most, important days of your life. You'll probably take on most of the organisation and planning, making just about every decision from the dress to the flowers, the cake, the date and type of ceremony - and much more!
The responsibility for orgainising the majority of the wedding traditionally falls on the bride's mother and the bride herself. This article addresses all of the things the bride and mother need to do before the wedding day.

The bridesmaids are chosen by the bride from amongst her (usually) unmarried friends, or relatives of hers or the bridegroom. The duty of the bridesmaids is to assist the bride from the moment she arrives at the venue for her wedding until she finally leaves the reception on the first stage of her honeymoon.
The chief bridesmaid's duties are concerned mainly with two things: assisting the bride in her preparations on the big day, and looking after the younger bridesmaids. She holds the bride's bouquet as the couple undertake their marriage, carries emergency supplies for the bride, and may also act as a witness to the marriage.
Traditionally, the bride's father has two roles - to give his daughter away, and to pay for the reception afterwards. However, with the total cost of the average British wedding fast approaching the average annual salary, many couples do not expect the bride's father to cover every expense, often contributing or paying fully themselves.
The ushers (or groomsmen), are there primarily to conduct people to the right seats, and to hand out the Order of Service sheets. As a general guide, there should be about one usher for every 25-30 guests, although there is no hard and fast rule on this.
A successful wedding is always the result of a team effort, and choosing the right people to help is one of the first and most important decisions the bride and the groom will make. The majority of the wedding planning will fall to the bride and her mother, and they must be careful not to attempt to take everything on themselves.
