Is it strange to have bridesmaids and groomsmen but not have them stand at the altar or wear matching attire?

Is it strange to have bridesmaids and groomsmen but not have them stand at the altar or wear matching attire?

My fiancé and I are torn about having a bridal party in the first place but our family members (mostly our siblings) are really pushing up to have them in the wedding. I'm thinking about asking my sisters to be bridesmaids (they're already going dress shopping with me, they'll get ready with me, do photos with us, etc.), they just won't stand next to me or wear matching dresses. The same goes for my FH and his brother (minus the dress of course ).

Thoughts?

We aren't having a bridal party. I like the look and the thought of it just being the two of us standing up in front of our family and close friends. We are having a small, intimate wedding with about 50 guest. Saves on stress too

No bridal party for me. I sent a fun message to my best gal pals and told them I just want their support. They loved it.

We had a bridal party but didn't have them stand at the alter. I only wanted DH and I with the officiant. They sat in the front row.

I never heard of the bridal party standing at the altar but I'm Catholic we things differently, I guess. I think it would be awkward for them to stand together up there. What about the ppl with 20 people in the BP? I'd say have them take a seat.
I'm not having a BP and its been the best thing EVER! Even the florist told me what a great idea that was.
