How to Be the Best Bridesmaid Ever with Louise Cooney and Dearbhla Toal

This week on The One Fab Day Wedding Podcast, we're talking about bridesmaids, specifically, what makes one great! We've got a whole post about this on the site, in which we lay down 17 rules for being a phenomenal right-hand gal to your bride, but we wanted to take a slightly different approach with this episode. That's why we asked excited bride-to-be Dearbhla Toal of Belle Azzure, and her bridesmaid Louise Cooney to join us for a chat about what the role of maid of honour means to them. These girls clearly have a very deep-rooted friendship, so this episode is such a fun, feelgood listen. Plus, the girls gave us some hugely creative ideas for popping the question to your bridal party!

Episode Breakdown: Episode 10 - How to Be the Best Bridesmaid Ever with Louise Cooney and Dearbhla Toal

Wedding tip: Celina raves about the benefits of creating a unifying moment in your wedding day, be it a ring warming during the ceremony, a call-and-response speech during the reception, or something completely unique. We also talk about a detail at a recent wedding that had us both welling up!

Main topic: This episode is a real celebration of female friendship, as we're joined by Dearbhla Toal and Louise Cooney to talk about all things bridesmaids. Together, we'll answer such crucial questions as, "What are the most important bridesmaid duties?" and "What's the best way to pop the question?"

Wedding dilemma: A listener writes, “I'm recently engaged and planning a wedding for March 2020. I suffer from alopecia areata, which means I have bald patches all over my head, primarily to the back. I have no idea what I will do with my hair on the day of the wedding, that will depend on how much of my hair grows back between now and then! I've been doing a bit of research and haven't gotten anywhere about hairstyle ideas for brides with alopecia. Is there any info you can give me?” Our advice this week includes a shoutout for Pelo Hairdressing in Kildare.

Something to do when you're not planning your wedding: This week, we're giving you a peek inside the inner workings of the One Fab Day office to talk about our latest and most exciting extra-curricular activity, Crisp Club! For updates, keep your eyes peeled on our Instagram page.
