I’ve seen this on several occasions and it’s probably one of the most stressful accidents due to the timing.  It’s quite common for a bride to make that one last visit to the ladies’ room very close to the ceremony time.  Well… as we know, with what is usually a large dress, it’s usually a team effort with the bridesmaids… and that means several people are holding - and moving - the bridal gown.  On several occaions at weddings we’ve worked, the bridesmaids are being so helpful to the bride, they forgot about where their other hand is…. the one holding the gown.  One slight movement in the wrong direction, and the gown taps the brides lips and the result is a nice lipstick print on the very front of the gown.  I’ve seen this several times and of course it’s only minutes away from aisle time which creates an unbelievable panic.  So, the tip is to make sure that all those helping you with your gown and veil are aware of where they’re moving that gown.
