Bridal party regrets

I did NOT have a bridal party. No regrets!

I've read a lot on here and other forums about brides regretting their bridal party choices. For me, I kept it simple with family only. However, part of me kind of wishes we went with no bridal party. It just depends on how many you're close with and if you'd rather have them as a guest or standing by your side! Good luck

I had my moments aha. I think because I would feel annoyed at them doing stuff like lagging on getting their dress. Literally one of my BM did not even get her dress til three days before AND it needed tailoring. It all worked out and I'm glad but sometimes they could be more drama and trouble aha but at the end of the day I chose these people cause they're my ride or dies and I'm still amazing friends with all of them.

Yes kind of, but my one bridesmaid removed herself from my bridal party and basically deleted me from her life. She blocked my on social media and my phone number. In a way I'm happy she did because I think I would have regretted having her in my pictures years from now.

I have two bridesmaids and a maid of honor and I am sure glad I went so small! I am very close to each of them, so I'm glad I'll have them beside me, but I also am very lucky to have extremely responsible, reliable close friends. If you don't have someone that immediately comes to mind as someone you want beside you, then you don't need to add the expense and stress

Yeah I go back and forth. I didn't want to regret not having my bridal party and having a bachelorette. But I feel like it's an added stress that I wish I didn't have sometimes. I probably would have gone with just a MOH to compromise if I could do it again.

We picked lifelong friends and siblings, and some people still let us down. But there’s no way I could have predicted that.

I have no regrets, but it's probably because I have a super small bridal party (maid of honor and one bridesmaid). I usually hear regrets from people who have huge bridal parties, but honestly I just think it boils down to how reliable and receptive they all are.

I had 9 bridesmaids and I couldn't imagine doing it without them, they made my experience so much better!

NO regrets I only asked my bests and my FSIL to be in my party. I knew there would be no drama and I would have an amazing group of ladies surrounding me on the wedding day. It's so important to really think things through, I am older and have been in a number of wedding parties I think those experiences helped me out as well when it came to choosing.

I have zero regrets about having a bridal party. They are all my very best friends that I talk to every day (not about wedding things) and I can't imagine them not being there. We haven't had any disagreements about anything and everyone has been super chill. I think it's because I don't talk to them non-stop about wedding things are try and put extra stuff on them.

Unfortunately, there is always 1 sometimes. I have 2 that I talk to about the wedding on a weekly basis. I have another bridesmaid that is in the wedding industry so when I get stuck I consult with her. My other 3 have it pretty easy lol. But no regrets I just want them to show up on time and come to rehearsal on time.

When we started wedding planning, I was adamant that I did not want a bridal party. Now that I'm further along with planning, I'm regretting this decision a lot. Everything is just so much more confusing. Who gets ready with me the morning of? If I take photos with a bunch of my girlfriends, we're all going to clash. What family walks down the aisle before us? It's just the worst lol. I'm still trying to work this out, but long story short, your bridal party is a vital part of your wedding planning, and without them, its easy to feel alone during the planning process.
