I had rules for my bridesmaids:
1. Let me know what time your flights are due (they were coming from Baltimore, Toronto, and Winston-Salem, NC)
2. Wear silver shoes (colours were navy and silver)...I didn't care if they were ballet slippers or stilettos
3. Give me your measurments and choice of dress so I can order dresses (they were paying for flight and hotel...that was the least I could do)
4. Look fabulous
5. Keep me calm
Most important:
Have fun!
We had a blast
