Even Number of Bridesmaids?

Okay, maybe this stupid... but does anyone care about the number of bridesmaids for their wedding My co-worker is engaged too, and she told me that she has an even number of 6 bridesmaids. So, she can be in the middle of the pictures. I like the idea of 5 to keep things simpler and less stressful....

    I had 3 BM and my husband had 5 groomsmen. It doesn't matter one bit. Whatever you decide works for you.

    It doesn't matter at all, what matters is the person you choose, i have my 3 closest friends as bridesmaids and my fh has 4 of his best friends as groomsmen Smiley smile

    I had three and i still love the pics and how they came out. it’s about your relationships not about looks or anything in the slightest. a good photographer will do their job and it will still look great.

    I chose 4 people only because it was the natural number of people that my fiancé and I felt were important to stand by us for our wedding. I think that if you are on the edge of deciding two people that aren't that important to you, then go with an even number because it does make the photographer's life easier to make your pictures more aesthetically pleasing. But to be honest, the number of people shouldn't matter near as much as inviting important people in your life to be apart of your big day. So, if you decide 5 people are the most important to you, then you shouldn't invite one more person just for pictures.

    I despise odd numbers lol BUT I didnt even think of that when choosing my bridesmaids. I chose people who have been there for me, who support us and who are genuinely happy for us this is what is important to us.

    Not at all hunny, because its not about tht at the end of day. Even if you had one its still gonna be beautiful and your marrying the love of your life. And your love ones are surrounding y'all with love. I'm learning thru this experience that every detail doesn't have to be like everybody else's, it's your story.

    We had 9 bridesmaids & 10 groomsmen. I thought our pictures turned out fine. I would just ask the women & men closest to you, and not think about a number.
