Bridemaids...

[jadestoneau]

Hi all
Would like some advice on my bridemaids issue.

I'm thinking of having 3 bridemaids for my day but only one groomsmen and his best man.

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks Jade

Welcome to Pash Jadestoneau

I haven't done it, but I have seen photos of uneven bridal parties, and to be honest, I prefer that look to the book-end look

I prefer the sort of random groupings that are easily done with uneven numbers.

If the question is the procession you could have the BMan walk the MOH and the GM walk with one BMaid on each arm... I think that'd work fine.

Anyway, feel free to jump in with any more questions, we'll all help if we can. And you should post a wee introduction in the bridal journal area so we can hear about your wedding.

I think it'd be fine to have the uneven bridal party It doesn't have to be symmetrical.

Ours will be uneven, too. And all odd because my best friend is a guy and he'll be on my side.

I think we'll just have my FH's best man come in with him from the back and my brother will walk my sister, who is the flower girl, down the aisle. It's all going to be uneven, but it's going to be the people we want up there with us, and I think that is what's really important.

Well said CW I agree completely

We had two best men and one MOH (and two BM/GM's each), and there wasn't anyone else I felt comfortable asking to be MOH to even it out, so we let it go. It's okay if the wedding party's uneven - the point is to have the people who mean the most to you there for you.

I think it will look fine as long as u don't have like 10 on one side and 3 on the other. Welcome to PASH!

Ours was uneven and it looked fine! Nobody is going to be going "man....look at the uneven bridal party, that's it, the wedding is ruined." It would be worse for you to leave out someone who is important to you. I ALMOST did that, I had decided in the last week that I wanted to add my FSIL and so I did, and it worked out fine, her dress was different, but she just looked like a junior bridesmaid (which technically she was)

Don't worry about it!

I think it would be fine. Welcome to the group.

Welcome to Pash! Our bridal party was uneven. It turned out fine.

Welcome! Life is rarely even, why should a wedding be? I agree that no one will think your wedding is ruined- I doubt any one would even notice. Go for it!

Our wedding party is going to be uneven too - but only by one on the girls side, so we are having one of the groomsmen walk down the isle with one bridesmaid on each arm, he'll go last!
