• Work up a fun city tour with the bride’s friends and show them around your favorite haunts. A gastronomic journey across your favorite spots is a great ice breaker that lets friends from across the board socialize and mingle.

• Coordinate with the videographer and photography team to ensure that they’re aware of the close family and friends. You can work with the photographer to make sure that everybody is included in photos including members of the family such as grandparents and younger cousins.

• While choosing your outfits, keep your style young, fresh and comfortable. As someone who might have to run around and get things done on all events, you must be in wearable shoes and breathable fabrics. Opt for bright pastels like sunshine yellow, mint, pink and similar feminine yet young colors to compliment your sister.
