Transport for bridesmaid

Keco

hi all

New to the group and getting married in December 2019. Only venue booked so far and my head is all over the place with all the bits to think about.
Today's thought is about my bridesmaid. I am only having 1. What do I do about transport to the church? Seems a little excessive to get a car just for her to the church but can't see an alternative?

How has anyone else sorted this out?

Thanks a million

I have 4 bridemaids and I've asked one of their husbands to drive them all. Have you a friend who wouldn't mind picking her up, as you've only one it shouldn't be a problem.

yeah i might see if my brother in law to be was willing to come back and collect her after he leaves his family to the church, he would probably be the most reliable!

I am probably over thinking it really.

My bridesmaids travelled with me and my dad in the bridal car to the church.

Why would she not go with you to the church?

Keco

I just thought it might be nice to just have me and my dad in the car, I think it is just sentimental.
I think that journey even if it is only 20 minutes is a nice way to spend a little bit of quiet time with your dad.

That's fine, just arrange for her to go in another car, how are the rest of your family getting there?

I am goi g to hire a people carrier for them or something similar. It needs to be big enough 7 but comfortable.

My bridesmaids husband is groomsman otherwise is just get him to driver her. Just want her to be happy and comfortable. I figure it's hard to be the only bridesmaid

She should go with your family preferably, the groomsmen should arrive before you and your bridesmaid should arrive the same time as you.

But do what you want

There's usually an obvious answer for these things, but wedding planning can stress you out a lot!
Glad you got a solution.
