Do you think its weird that I won't have bridesmaids?

Hey there! So my wedding ceremony will be very simple. Just civil union with a wedding officiant. I wanted to use bridesmaids at the beginning but I think it would be too much for my wedding, since it's very simple. But I'm still walking down the aisle with my dad, exchange rings and I will wear a gown since my family and friends will be watching me. It will be at a house and we will also have a reception afterwards. I still would like to make a good entrance. Do you have any ideas? I was thinking that maybe my mom could walk with my brother and then the two witnesses can also walk. Then me and my dad. Or how should I do it? Because just me and my dad would be too short for an entrance. We will have around 50 guests. And I didn't want bridesmaids because the house is not that big for a ceremony. But it's perfect for the kind of ceremony I'm having.

    It's totally not weird to not have a wedding party (I'm skipping it)! It simplifies things a lot. I don't see any need to make the entrance last longer. Just walk up there and get married!

    No, it's not weird. I do not have any and it's been so stress free. I have friends who have offered to help me get ready the day of. If you are trying to keep things small then I don't see a problem not having any.

    My daughter was the flower girl. She was about 18 months, so my Aunt walked near her to keep her in the right direction. Then my Grandmother walked me down the aisle. My husband had his brother next to him and that was that. It was as simple as we could make it. It was exactly what we wanted.

    If you want a bridesmaid or two, then have them. If not, then there's nothing weird about not doing that. It's your wedding, you do it how you like.

    I don't think it would be weird at all. If you want your family and his family to walk down the aisle I think that would be nice, but it's definitely not necessary

    Not weird at all. We are having a traditional wedding, but I'm having a MOH and FH isn't having groomsmen.

    It's fine... We are having a simple, and small, ceremony too and I just have my sister as MOH, her 3 year old daughter as a flower girl and that's it. FH's Dad will be the other witness. My sister will walk in with her daughter and then my Dad and I. You don't need a load of people walking in for your entrance to be grand. You in a dress is enough, in my opinion.

    It's not weird. We aren't having any bridesmaids/groomsmen either. And I see no need to make the entrance last a long time. Just walk in, get married, dance out. That's our plan! Smiley smile

    I am not having a wedding party. I think having your brother walk your mom and having grandparents (if alive) walk down would just allow guests to know it's time to get ready for the bride Smiley smile

    Not weird at all! My only concern is that, currently, the processional is all about you: your mom & brother, you and your dad. What about FH? He could process too, along with his parents, if you'd like.

    Nope. Not weird. It does simplify things quite a bit.

    Not weird. I am having bridesmaid/groomsmen but if I attended a wedding without I honestly wouldn't think anything of it. Matter fact I might say kudos to the bride for saving herself a headache! Lol
