So ladies, my dress has a very long train that i plan on adding a bustle too and I have a cathedral length veil. For photos before the ceremony (our first look and some wedding party photos) I will not be bustling my dress or removing my veil yet. Since I`ll have a very large bouquet I thought that my girls could just help me carry around the fabric to avoid it getting dirty, however, after being in a wedding party in august i realized once everyone has their own flowers and their own long dresses there is only so much help they can give, the photographer ended up helping the bride the most as we all kinda had our hands full.
This got me thinking; for my own wedding I have a few female cousins I`m very close with that I thought about asking if they would help and kinda be my dedicated train carriers when it comes to photos. Has anyone else had this dilemma and what did you do? Did you and your bridal party make it work, or did you ask someone who wasn't in the wedding party?
Any advice on how you managed all the fabric day of is much appreciated! TIA
