You've likely selected your wedding party with careful precision—choosing 'maids for meaningful reasons—but I am not saying your girls are equipped to tackle all your wedding demands (the extremes). Enter professional bridesmaid Tiffany Wright.
According to Insider, Wright makes a living like a "bridesmaid for hire" within the U.K. As simply a real-life fairy godmother, the 36-year-old pretends to become a close pal of her bridal clients and suits all their wedding whims like a staged person in the wedding party. The idea sprouted after her very own big day, she tells Insider, when all Wright's 'maids lacked sufficient wedding and bachelorette planning experience.
How does the procedure work, you may well ask? Wright's role is generally kept a secret from the rest of the bridal crew, so she first develops a decoy backstory to prevent suspicion. "If I'm suddenly pretending to become a bridesmaid which has known the bride to be for years, I have to termed as much as I can about this bride," she said, via Insider. "I have to know who their first kiss was, where they continued their first girly holiday, everything." She added she must "convince another bridesmaid that I've known her as many years because they have.
It's obviously tricky since the bridesmaids will always be like 'I've never heard about you before,' so usually I say we met during the gap year or perhaps a holiday and that we lost touch after which got back in contact via social networking."
Next, the pricing: Wright's charges vary, depending on the bride-to-be's needs, but a preliminary Skype consultation will definitely cost about $32.blush bridesmaid dresses From there, costs can accrue as much as $6,500 once transportation, lodging, a bridesmaid gown are factored in.
And, to that particular note, no demand is seemingly too large. This professional bridesmaid went so far as to follow along with a groom at his bachelor party to ensure he behaved. (Um...) Per another bride's request, she tricked the rest of the wedding party into attending an exercise boot camp instead of a traditional bachelorette. She's even willingly dyed her hair, too, when another to-be-wed wanted an all-brunette bridesmaid group.
