Too many bridesmaids, few groomsmen?

I see more weddings with uneven bridal parties. Our wedding will be unevenly numbered as well. As of now, I have 5 bridesmaids and my fiance has four groomsmen. I plan to have everyone walk down the aisle individually.

I honestly had to do a double take when I read "he had his brother" because I saw two guys dressed similarly plus a bride as a center of focus in the middle and thought it was two groomsmen - ha!

The OCD in me always want an even number, but it's completely unnecessary I think the photos look just as beautiful whether or not the sides are even.

If you're dead set on a traditional processional and an even bridal party, I think the Junior Bridesmaids is a great idea, so long as it wouldn't break the hearts of your little sis and cousin. But to be honest, I don't think it would be too distracting, especially since you both have large parties next to you. Two more on your end isn't really going to throw anyone off.

I don't think 8 and 6 is a big deal, or even noticeable. I was in a wedding with 6 BM and 4 GM, no one noticed including me! We have 10 GM and 9 BM.

I have 7 bridesmaids and my FH only has 5 groomsmen, do what makes you guys happy!

My fiance and I decided that we don't want to pull friends into our bridal party just to have even numbers. I think we will likely be 7 guys, and 8 (or 9) ladies, and it was something I originally was stressed about, but the stress was coming from my mom, not really something I care too much about.

You definitely don't need even sides! We happen to 5 and 5, but that is coincidence and my FH was actually going to have an additional groomsmen but he had to step down because he can't make it to the wedding anymore. When we were planning on 5 and 6, I figured the last bridesmaid walking down would have a groomsman on each side of her.

It won't look bad at all. Guys are more broad shouldered so it always looks like there are more guys if its even, so for you it might look more balanced. I had 7 bridesmaids and 2 junior bridesmaids, my husband had 6 groomsmen and 2 junior groomsmen. For the processional the guys entered first with the officiant, some of them ushered the moms and grandparents then the girls walked in single file. For the recessional and entering the reception everyone walked in pairs one guy had 2 girls to walk with. It was cute!
