A big part of the maid of honor’s job is making sure that everything is organized to run smoothly. If you’re in charge of prepping your bride for her big day, you should really consider throwing a baker’s rack into the mix. It might seem odd to put kitchen furniture in a room for temporary use, but in reality, it is the perfect solution.
Here are some great ways you can use a baker’s rack during your wedding day.
1. Light weight and easy to move
You probably aren’t going to need that baker’s rack and its necessities until the wedding day, but you’ll want to get it ready and set up long before that day. Such preparations only serve to make weddings run more smoothly. A baker’s rack is lightweight and easy to move after organizing, so you can bring it out on the wedding day but keep it stowed until that point.
Tip! A baker’s rack is so narrow that it can usually fit into most closets. Especially if you have a walk-in closet or a wider linen closet, remove the shelves temporarily to wheel the baker’s rack out of the way until it is needed.
2. Makeup and vanity like surface
If you don’t have a vanity in the room where you and your bridesmaids are going to be getting ready, a baker’s rack can be a great substitute. Its primary table height shelf will be the perfect surface from which the makeup artist or hairstylist can work.
Tip! Prep the day before by making sure everything you will need to get ready is on the baker’s rack. One less worry, and you’ll be able to get started right away.
3. Protecting the veil
The veil is usually the last thing that a bride puts on before walking down the aisle. As it is the final piece, it will need to be set aside safely until you are ready to go. The baker’s rack will likely have a design that makes it easy to hang the veil from the corner of the baker’s rack, safely out of way and waiting for its moment to shine.
4. Have jewelry and hair accessories at the ready
A baker’s rack with drawers is great for housing and protecting your jewelry, hair accessories, and other delicates. You might want to line the drawers with felt to protect such items from snagging, as it is not the original intent of the baker’s rack. This simple modification makes it much easier to keep valuables at hand but out of sight.
5. Beyond the wedding day
After the wedding is over, the baker’s rack can still serve a purpose. Moving the baker’s rack to the new bridal couple’s home gives them a memento of their special day while also giving them some versatile storage space. In this case, choose a baker’s rack that will suit regardless of the interior design styles used in the new home.
