Backless Benches: Fainting Remedy

As you plan your wedding, you hope nothing will spoil the day; this is where backless benches enter the picture. I have seen a number of weddings where someone in the wedding party fainted during the ceremony.

The most recent time I saw this, a bridesmaid had been feeling sick a day or two before the wedding. Her weakness, compared with standing on the platform, caused her to collapse. Of course, a gasp went up, and the ceremony stalled. But these things happen often, even when the bridesmaids haven’t been sick. It gets a little warm, someone locks their knees, and bam.

You can provide backless benches for both sides of your wedding party in case someone should start to feel a little weak or dizzy. You can even use backless benches as part of your decoration. Place a bench on either side of the platform and decorate it with flowers or ribbons that match your wedding theme. Then if someone needs to sit, they can remove the flowers and find relief. The ceremony can continue, and you will save your friend from embarrassment. And if nothing happens, the audience won’t know the difference when you use the backless benches as props for your decoration.
