Welcome to All Things Bridesmaid
If you’ve landed here, there’s a good chance someone has just handed you a small box, a card, or a glass of prosecco… and asked you to be their bridesmaid.
First came the excitement.
Then came the questions.
What am I actually supposed to do?
How much am I expected to spend?
What if I don’t know the other bridesmaids?
Do I have to give a speech?
New bridesmaid and not quite sure what you’ve signed up for? Start here. This section walks you through what the role actually involves, what’s expected, and what you can realistically say no to. Clear answers before the group chat gets loud.
The Bridesmaid Survival Bible is your simple guide to a role nobody properly explains. From being asked to stand beside your friend to the wedding morning itself, it answers the questions bridesmaids quietly worry about. What you need to do, what you might need to pay for, and how to help without feeling overwhelmed. Clear, honest advice so you can enjoy the day instead of second-guessing yourself.
Weddings are joyful, but they can also get complicated. Here we talk honestly about budgets, shared costs and the conversations nobody enjoys having. Gentle guidance to help you set boundaries and keep friendships intact.

I’m Sasha, and I created All Things Bridesmaid because nobody really explains the role. You’re suddenly organiser, emotional support, stylist, planner, peacekeeper and sometimes therapist, all while smiling in photographs and pretending you understand wedding etiquette.
Brides have hundreds of planners, magazines and checklists. Bridesmaids mostly have guesswork.
This isn’t a wedding planning site.
It’s a reassurance site.
Here you’ll find clear, honest guidance about what you actually need to do, how to manage costs without awkwardness, how to handle hen parties, dresses, expectations and speeches, and how to support your friend without quietly overwhelming yourself.
You’re allowed to ask questions.
You’re allowed to set a budget.
You’re allowed to feel nervous.
Being asked to stand beside someone on one of the biggest days of their life is an honour. It just shouldn’t feel like a responsibility you have to navigate alone.
So whether you’ve just been asked, you’re mid-planning, or the wedding is suddenly very close and you’ve remembered you might have to speak in public… you’re in the right place.
Take a breath.
I’ve got you.
