Bridesmaids, Don’t Forget! 3 Things to Do Before the Big Day
Maid of Honor? We've got you covered.
We know being chosen as a bride’s special muse for her big day is an incredible honor, but it also comes with responsibilities—especially the night before the wedding. This is the time to ensure the bride feels relaxed, cherished, and ready for the big moment. To help you out, here’s a list of essential things you should prepare for the bride to make her last night before marriage extra special.
1) A Heartfelt Letter to the Bride
Our founder, Aimee, wrote a personal letter for her Sister the evening before she married. This thoughtful touch is a beautiful way to express your love, support, and excitement. Share memories, words of encouragement, and remind her how much she means to you. A handwritten note adds a personal touch and will be something she can cherish forever.
2) Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue
We all know the classic wedding rhyme symbolising good luck for the bride, and as a bridesmaid, you have the perfect opportunity to help her gather each special element. Something Old could be a treasured family heirloom or a sentimental keepsake, adding a touch of tradition to her big day. For Something New, why not create a signature wedding day scent? A unique fragrance will forever remind the bride of this unforgettable moment, making it a truly personal touch. And if she’s looking for the perfect scent, our very own Odd Muse fragrance— a beautiful blend of sweet floral and vanilla—fits the occasion flawlessly.
Something Borrowed can be just as meaningful, and a growing trend this year is incorporating a sentimental piece of jewelry or even cufflinks by tying them onto the bouquet. It’s a simple yet elegant way to honor tradition while adding a personal touch. Finally, for Something Blue, consider embroidering the bride and groom’s initials onto the wedding dress for a subtle yet sophisticated detail—just make sure the thread is blue to complete the tradition. These unique touches will not only bring good luck but will also make the wedding day even more memorable.
3) Cosy Sleepwear & Pamper Essentials
The night before the wedding should be all about comfort and relaxation. Treat the bride to a luxurious pyjama set, a silky robe, or cosy slippers of course these must be white . Our personal favs Gigi & Olive have lots of bridal sleepwear to select from and why not get The Nap Co X Odd Muse Pyjama Set for all the bridesmaids. Not only will she feel pampered, but she’ll also look stunning in pre-wedding photos as she gets ready the next morning.
Don't forget a glowing bride starts with great skincare. Prepare a small skincare basket to ensure she wakes up with fresh, hydrated skin. Include everything from a hydrating sheet mask (our founder's personal favorite is 111 Skin), under-eye patches to reduce puffiness for the big day, lip balm (you can’t go wrong with Laneige, especially their sleeping mask), and a relaxing lavender mist to help her unwind and get a good night's sleep.
These are just a few of our top tips to ensure the night before the wedding runs as smoothly as possible and you have completed all your Bridesmaids duties. Happy wedding prepping!
