Bride demands her bridesmaids lose weight and have cosmetic surgery for her big day…and she’s not the only one
Thanks to social media, looking picture-perfect is the latest pressure on bridesmaids
WITH only eight weeks to go before the big day, Sheena Malik is shedding weight for the wedding.
It’s not her wedding, but that doesn’t mean she’s slacking off.
Sheena, 29, has kept up a rigid workout schedule and strict diet before her main gal Ashley Barton’s wedding on New York’s Upper East Side this summer.
The maid of honour’s hope is to lose 7kg (just over 1st) before the big day.
The physician from Southern California says: “Wedding photos are shared more now, so it’s important to look good.”
Thanks to social media, looking picture-perfect is the latest pressure on bridal parties.
Getting in shape, losing weight, attending wellness programs and having cosmetic procedures alongside brides to be are often encouraged — if not downright demanded — by the brides themselves.
“I need everyone on board,” says Ashley Barton, a 30-year-old PR executive who lives in Brooklyn, New York.
“I want my guests to invest in their appearances, feel pretty, go buy the dress of their dreams and feel confident in themselves.
We have previously revealed how one bride wrote an email to her bridesmaids telling them to put on weight so she looks slimmer in the photos and many others have also made ridiculous requests.
