Bridal party

We’re doing 4 groomsmen, 1 bridesmaid, and a bridesman (my brother). I’m not worried about it since we aren’t doing the traditional procession. Groom and groomsmen will walk first then, then my brother, my best friend, my parents, and finally me. If you’re worried about photos just ask photographers to see photos of uneven parties so you can imagine how to stylize the shoot better. Don’t choose people to stand with you for the sake of a photo. At the end of the day, your family photos aren’t ‘boy, girl, boy, girl’ so, why do your wedding photos need to be.

Hi there! Yes our bridal party is not even- I have 9 bridesmaids (!) and my fiancé has 3. Everyone in our party are our closest friends and siblings. I’m just super lucky I have so many best friends! I’m not worried at all about it, but then we aren’t having the most traditional celebration. Also, a friend of mine had an even bridal party and she regrets not having another bridesmaid. So I would say make the decision you will least regret and trust your gut. Good luck!

Feel assured your happy with your decisions no matter how many are on each side as long as they are all close to you. There isn't anything wrong with having uneven numbers.

Trust that your photographer knows what they’re doing and you should be good but definitely get some ideas from other ppl that have had uneven nrs 😃

I don't think it's a big deal at all if you guys have uneven numbers for your bridal party especially this day in age. Photographers know a lot of ways to make it look great in pictures and such. I wouldn't stress about it!

I have 6 bridesmaid and 4 groomsmen 🤣 it doesn't matter. Plus if you gave a good photography - uneven wedding parties shouldn't throw off the pictures. It's quite common now!

We have 4 groomsmen and 5 bridesmaids (1 bridesmaid is a junior - 14 years old). Photographers will know how to arrange pictures properly so that everything looks balanced. At first I thought it was a big deal but now I realize it really doesn't matter and we have everyone closest to us that we wanted in our party.

If you have the bridesmaids being escorted down the aisle the best man could totally just be waiting at the front with your fiancé.. That would balance out the look of the ceremony. And the wedding party won’t all be standing for long at the front.. I’m sure it’ll look fine!! The guys can be placed on the outside of the girls in pictures and it’ll not be super noticeable imo

Honestly, people make way too big of a deal on having the same numbers per side. When it comes to wedding photos, symmetry is overrated in my opinion. As long as the people you want up there are there with you, that's all that matters.

If it was a bigger difference people might notice but I feel like with 3 vs 4 nobody’s going to bat an eye. Your photographer will also place everyone so nothing looks off in photos.
But even if it is noticeable is it really an issue? Isn’t it more important to have the people you want in your bridal party there rather than cutting someone out or adding in someone you don’t truly want there?
