fh sister on his side, what do i do?!?

Emma, on August 19, 2020 at 1:55 PM Posted in Planning 0 6
Okay so I just realized a slight dilemma. FHs sister is his “best man” she is wearing a bridesmaids dress, just in navy instead of burgundy. I have 2 bridesmaids and FH has his sister and one groomsmen.
Now here are some of the things I’m confused about 1. Should she be getting ready with the bridesmaids? Or stay with her brother, come to the bridal suite to put her dress on, and then go back to the grooms room?
2. Should she have a bouquet? 3. Should she walk down the aisle? I was going to have my bridesmaids walk down by themselves and have the groomsmen be up at the alter already. Should she walk too? Or would that make her look like the MOH 4. For bridal party photos, she would be in the “groom and bridal party” shots, not the “bride and bridal party” shots, right?

    1.) Whatever you, your FH, and his sister are comfortable with. Since she's in his party, she would typically get ready with them, but she may have to get ready with you if you're using professional makeup services.

    2.) Up to you and your FH.

    3.) She's not a bridesmaid, so she wouldn't walk with the bridesmaids. She's the best woman. She would enter with the groomsmen.

    4.) She's not a bridesmaid, so I'm not sure why she would be in bridesmaid pictures.

    Include Your Best Woman With the Groomsmen

    She should assume all the duties generally assigned to a best man, including standing with the groomsmen during the ceremony, planning the bachelor party and walking in the processional alongside the maid or matron of honor

    I would ask her preference as far as getting ready. I would have them all walk separately and I would give her a bouquet. I would have her in the groom party for the photos.

    We had a groomswoman and bride's man so my suggestions will be based upon what we did.

    1. This was confusing for us as well because she wasn't sure where she should get ready. She was fine with whatever we decided, but I would talk to your future sister-in-law and see what she is comfortable with. Since I hired a hairstylist and makeup artist, I offered to let her have either service since I gave the bridesmaids the same option. She elected to do her own makeup, but to have her hair done by the hairstylist I hired. It only made sense for her to get ready with us then. She didn't really hang around us other than when she needed to be there for her hair. She did her makeup in her hotel room. She also changed in her hotel room. Once the guys were dressed, she went to take photos with them. My dad and brother (bride's man) got dressed with the groomsmen then joined me once all of us girls were dressed.

    2. Our groomswoman had a bouquet and the bride's man had a boutonniere. I thought it would look odd if all of the other ladies had flowers and she didn't.

    3. I wouldn't have her walk down the aisle since none of the groomsmen will be. We had our bridal party walk in pairs so the bride's man walked down the aisle with the groomswoman.

    4. Since the groomswoman got ready with us ladies, she was in getting ready photos including the large group getting ready photos I had taken. The bride's man was in getting ready photos with the groomsmen and my dad. After everyone was dressed, she went with the groomsmen and my husband to take bridal party photos while my brother (bride's man) came with me to take bridal party photos. It wouldn't make sense for the groomswoman to be in the bridesmaids photos since she isn't a bridesmaid.

    DH had 2 groomswomen, one of which was his sister. They opted for tuxes, and looked great. Because they had tuxes, we gave them bouts, instead of bouquets.

    They got ready with him (especially as he got ready at his parents').

    They walked with my bridesman, as we had uneven sides.

    They took pictures with DH. (And his sister obvs also took family shots.)
