Bridal Suite: The Survival Kit

Posted on April 15, 2019April 26, 2019by Sheila

Always the bride and never the bridesmaid, am I right ladies? Or is it the other way around? For me, I’ve never been in anyone’s wedding but mine and my mother’s…so at 40 something, here I am a bridesmaid for the first (and probably only) time!
