Lara here, Girlboss’ contributing writer! 👋
Wedding season is almost upon us, and with that comes the dreaded bridesmaid duties 🎀 (oops, did I say dreaded?! Freudian slip! 🤪). But seriously, if you’ve ever been a bridesmaid, you know the trials and tribulations that come along with the title.
Which is why we tapped Ruhama Wolle, Style Partnerships Editor at The Cut and author of the upcoming bridesmaid survival guide, I Hope You Elope, for her very best advice for protecting your sanity and your wallet when it comes to being a bridesmaid.
