All About Citrine

Citrine is a variety of quartz with colors from pale yellow to almost brown. It is commonly mistaken from a yellow topaz which is not entirely true.

Bridesmaids to the rescue!

Well, I am the real life Jane Nichols from 27 dresses! I've been a bridesmaid for about the same number of weddings. A large number of these weddings were family ones. What can I say in my defense? I just love the idea of a wedding, of swearing to a life of togetherness and love! A wedding, for me, means a vow to stand together through thick and thin, forever till the end of time! Does that sound a little too romantic and idealistic? That's what weddings are meant to be!

I love the whole deal – from helping with the wedding planning and picking of dresses, organizing and executing some smashing bachelorette parties and of course, that teary end of day speech because each wonderful woman I've stood for have been a very special and integral part of my life.

Deal With Stress

As a 'veteran' bridesmaid, let me tell you, you learn to deal with stress. Each new wedding has taught me that I'm not there just to attend on the bride and my friend but to be a sounding board; to calm her when she is agitated and if need be, to take over till the bride is back on her feet and raring to go. If you intend to be a bridesmaid and have been privileged enough to be asked to this honor for a friend or family member, remember it is an infinitely special moment that you have been asked to partake in. The bride puts infinite trust in you so try not to get things wrong! Stressed out? Don't be!

It's 'Her' Day!

One basic rule to keep in mind is that the wedding is not about your choices and suggestions; it is designed for the bride and the groom. It is their idea of a ceremony that will keep them bonded together in love and harmony for a lifetime. Bridesmaids exist to fulfill the bride's every wish. This might be a task because brides are notorious for overnight changes into 'bridezillas' but it can also be a lot of fun to help in the organizing, registering and all the little things that go in between.

Volunteer

If you have a specific talent, do tell the bride that you are at her service. For example, I enjoy the art of calligraphy and if I say so myself, I'm relatively good at it. Keeping this in mind, I generally take on the task of addressing invitations and all things that require fancy lettering. It takes a big burden off the bride's shoulders when she can hand over tasks to someone she loves and trusts - Her bridesmaid!

On the auspicious day, the bride is in too much of a jitter to take care of practical yet unexpected things. Unexpected situations may make a large difference to the quality of the ceremony. Keep your eyes wide open as a bridesmaid, anticipate the needs of the lady in command and hurry to rectify any perceivable error at the earliest. Bridesmaids to the rescue!
