Bridesmaids dresses and suits, help!

Kathryn, on September 14, 2021 at 23:34 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 7
Need some help and advice!

We've canceled our normal 70 person wedding. Now having a small 25 person wedding in our backyard. All 6 of my bridesmaids are attending but I don't know whether to have them wear their dresses anymore?
We're thinking of having the wedding party walk down the aisle and then sit. We've opted out of anyone standing beside us since it's a small number and seems weird to have 6 bridesmaids up there. Also my fiancé and his groomsmen - only 2/4 got their suits ordered before we canceled the bigger wedding.
Is it weird to have bridesmaids and groomsmen walk down the aisle but have them sit? Should we opt out of the dresses and suits and have them wear normal formal attire? We're sort of doing this "non traditional" since we've had to pivot 3 weddings now and we don't want our wedding party to waste the money they spent already and just need some advice on what you would do Smiley smile

    Dresses and suits bought should be worn for the day as they can sit after walking down the aisle as you want it simple and easy for the small wedding. Once you know when you want to celebrate your reception or renewal later next year, the wedding party can wear the dresses and suits again.

    Ditto on wearing already purchased clothes. I wouldn't make the other two guys buy suits but hopefully they have something they already own that works.

    Thank you Smiley smile that is what we are going for. Who cares if it's a little off beat from traditional wedding party stuff

    I think if they have already bought their dresses, they should wear them! There's no harm in that and the money isn't going to waste! And honestly don't care what other people will think, it's your wedding day and you can do whatever you wish!

    If I bought the dress I'd want to wear it lol. It is up to you but if you are really unsure ask them what they think that's why you picked them to get their input

    This may not be helpful at all but you can do whatever you want to do! If you want them to wear the dresses, do it. If you want the groomsmen to wear something else, do it. It's your day! Who cares what other people MIGHT think is weird - that's their problem and not their wedding!

    If they've already gotten their dresses they might as well wear them! I think it would be totally fine to have them walk down the aisle then sit
