A chief bridesmaid is a bride’s, right-hand woman. This duty is mostly carried out by her best friend, sister, or close family member.
Most ladies are apprehensive about being a chief bridesmaid because they are almost as nervous as the bride and would not want to ruin her big day.
If you have never carried out this ‘prestigious’ duty for a friend or family member or you just said yes to being a chief bridesmaid, then this is for you.
These tips will help you as an intending chief bridesmaid.

2. Ensure she has had breakfast
3. Help her get out of the car carefully
4. Make sure you have access to her make-up for that day
5. Dressing the younger bridesmaids and page boys
During The Wedding
