ask M Famous | ADVICE
Now, I have had reports of men needing to learn to walk in them, so don’t spring these on him last minute. If he face-plants leaving the alter, his height will not matter…I promise. How he receives the suggestion is a different story all together. Either way it beats the alternative - standing on his “Tippy Toes.”
Hair, High Heels, High Hopes for you and your big day, Mr M Famous
Mr M Famous, I am writing because
after reading your column in the Spring issue, I decided I needed to get your honest advice. I am not a bride - hope that is ok?? Anyway, one of my nearest and dearest friends is getting married this Christmas. We have been the best of friends since childhood, so I, of course, expected to be in her wedding. Well, she didn't ask me. I would be completely fine with it except for the fact that she is asking me to take on the duties of a bridesmaid without the title. I am going shopping for a bridesmaid dress with her…that I won’t be wearing. I am planning the bachelorette party. She even told ME what color dress to wear to the wedding and reception! I love her, and I don't want to "make waves," but I feel like I have to speak up. Please help!
Bridesmaid…ish
A: Let me jump right in – SPEAK UP! I can understand your concern with wanting to remain agreeable, however allow me to put it to you another way. If you don’t say something to her, then the resentment is going to continue to build. Say something like, “this is so much fun planning all of this for you, but I feel bad that I am taking the bridesmaids tasks.” Or,
“Wow, I didn’t realize there was this much planning involved, I can only imagine how much your bridesmaids are doing if I am helping you this much.” It is not fair for you to be stuck with all the work and none of the recognition. If your friend doesn’t pick up on the hints then calmly sit her down and explain to her your concerns. Any good friend should understand. Either way, put your foot down. Be sure to write me again when YOU get married.
Honorary Bridesmaid not such an honor, Mr M Famous
Mr. M Famous, Hello there, Looking for a little
style advice here. Since you are a stylist by trade, I felt like you could best help me. Why do bride’s always seem to become indecisive around their big day? I am wearing a veil and headpiece during the actual ceremony. The veil hits me at my waist, so I could easily keep it on during the reception. Is that a silly idea? I really feel like it completes my whole “look,” but if I should just wear the headpiece, I will remove the veil in the car. Thoughts?
To veil or not to veil…that is the question.
A: This is an easy one! Girl, wear that veil if you want to and for as long as
you want to. It is YOUR wedding day. Keep in mind that the veil may start getting in your way. If you decide to change dresses for dancing at the reception…take the veil off. That would be like a ballerina showing up to the after party in her tutu. If you keep your wedding dress on, feel free to don your veil all night. Thank you for the question and congratulations.
Whip your Veil back and forth, Mr M Famous
