Being a bridesmaid is a great honor. But besides this, this proud title implies a lot of obligations, small troubles that fall on the shoulders of friends. The duties of the witness at the wedding include many small details that will help make the celebration bright and colorful.
To begin with, when choosing a buddy, you need to carefully look at the proposed candidate. It is not worth taking a forgetful and non-punctual girl as a witness. These negative qualities can pretty much spoil your triumph. A too bright person will not be suitable for this role either, as it will distract attention from the bride herself.
After you have chosen a friend, you can begin preparations for the most important day in the girl’s life. First of all, the duty of a witness at a wedding includes a trip to the shops and salons with the bride. She will need to help her choose a dress, accessories, decide on a hairstyle and manicure.

On this important day, the bride will be a little forgetful and scattered due to excitement. This is normal, therefore it is the witness who should take care of such trifles as a cosmetic bag, handkerchiefs, champagne, glasses, a camera and more. If the bride got excited, it is necessary to calm her down - this is one of the most important moments that is the responsibility of a witness at a wedding.

Usually, when leaving the registry office, the newlyweds are congratulated and presented with bouquets. And here again you can not do without a bridesmaid. She needs to take all the flowers presented from the young woman, leaving only her wedding bouquet. Further, during the walk, the witness continues to observe the appearance of the bride.
Upon arrival at the restaurant, a friend should help seat guests. Also, one of the important duties is to monitor the bride’s slipper, her place and, most importantly, the youngest so that no one steals her. During numerous contests, the witness should not sit still. If necessary, the host will need to help cheer the guests.
Performing the duties of a witness at a wedding, the main thing is not to forget about the toast. It will be necessary to speak immediately after the parents.

Guests want to hear something bright, colorful and unforgettable. You can even write it down so as not to forget anything important. To see yourself from the side, you should practice a little in front of the mirror. It should be remembered that speech should not take more than five minutes. First you need to thank for the honor. You can diversify the toast itself with a poem, funny stories from childhood. At the end, you must definitely wish happiness, health, and children. Naturally, in the end you need to say: "Bitter!".
