It looks like we will end up with seriously uneven wedding parties. My FH is considering up to four people for his groomsmen (he may end up with less), but I'm pretty certain my I will just have my best friend as my MOH and no other official bridesmaids (due to my closest other girlfriends getting married/having babies around the same time). I'll probably have a couple additional friends/family help me get ready, but I don't plan on doing a bridal shower, bachelorette party, or buying us matching robes or anything like that.
My question is if I end up with only one maid, will it look strange if she is the only "color" in our photos? We haven't settled on our colors yet (I'm still waiting for my FH to pick out his suit), but I think he is going with a navy suit and we were going to go with a soft, muted color palette (dusty rose, blush, dusty blue, pewter, sage green, mauve, champagne, rose gold).
Would it make more sense to dress my MOH in a navy or darker colored dress so she doesn't stand out as much from the guys in navy? Will it look weird if I'm in ivory, she's the one person in a color, and there are up to five guys in navy? I should note that my MOH is tall, really pretty, and a former promo model, so she's going to stand out somewhat anyway, regardless of what color I put her in. We are both pretty fair skinned as well, so I definitely want to consider that when giving her color guidance, because I want her to find a dress/outfit she really likes, feels confident in, and could maybe wear again (and I know some of those muted colors will wash out her complexion entirely). Would it make sense to put her in a jumpsuit? I tried Googling "wedding parties with one bridesmaid" and came up with zero helpful photos to give me guidance.
I do love the look of mismatched bridesmaid dresses (colors, styles, and fabrics that look cohesive together, but aren't necessarily the same) so even if I had more maids they would be able to buy a dress of their choosing and within their budget, with just some guidance from me. So it's possible I could add more maids at a later date or ask some of the other women involved (my mom, his mom, his sister, etc) to buy dresses in that color family so any photos they ended up in would look cohesive.
Thoughts? Any photo examples you can find from weddings with just one bridesmaid and a lot more groomsmen?
PS: I definitely want my FH to feel comfortable asking all four of those guys to be involved if he wants. He may decide he just wants one or two of them, but I do not want him to have to leave any of them out just so our parties are even.
