6 bridesmaids, 0 groomsmen

Not crazy at all! If he's just not into it on his side, but it's important to you, there is absolutely nothing preventing you from doing it that way.

As a guest I would think that was odd. Why are you not willing to compromise? Curious. You can include your friends without them being bridesmaids. Many women actually prefer to be a guest, especially if they have done the bridesmaid thing once already.

While it’s totally fine to have uneven sides, it may be best to not have a bridal party in this case. If you’re that close with the girls, chat with them and explain that you still want to celebrate with them if they’re up for it (Bach party or something like that) but you’re choosing not to have anyone stand with you on the day. I’m assuming they know FH is an introvert and will understand.

I think it is fine to have bridesmaids if you want. I would probably have them sit in the front row after they walk down the aisle.

I think you’d definitely want them to sit during the ceremony. It will look odd in pictures if your side has 6 and the other side has no one. I also would maybe flex the reception entrances as well. Perhaps the bridesmaids aren't announced. At the end of the day it’s your wedding so do what works for you and your partner.

I would make them bridesmaids and do pics and get ready together, but I would not have them walk down the aisle or stand with you. I’ve been to a wedding where the bride had bridesmaids and the groom did not have attendants…and it was odd. It kinda looked like he just didn’t care.


That said. You should absolutely do whatever the heck you want!

I say do what you want, especially if your fiancé is fine with it. You could have three stand on each side during the ceremony to look more balanced.
