Step 5Walking down the aisle (alone)

On the day of the wedding, you should attend to the bride as she is dressing for the big event and make sure she eats a generous prewedding meal. At the ceremony itself, you're loosely in charge of the other bridesmaids, making sure that they know their roles, that their dresses are ironed, that they're wearing the right color of nail polish, and that they refrain from growing too rowdy (although at some weddings this is encouraged, so check with the bride first).

In a traditional wedding, you directly precede the bride down the aisle and are seated next to her during the service. Once the bride completes her own processional, you relieve her of her bouquet. You'll also make any adjustments to the bride's train, should she be wearing one. If it is a double-ring ceremony, you'll also have charge of the groom's ring and should produce it at the right time.
