No bridal party

We had a small 55 person wedding on the beach and it was short so we opted for no programs. They aren’t mandatory so if you don’t want to do them just skip it.

View Quoted Comment Ok. But what was the order of pp walking down the aisle at your ceremony? What were the events at the reception?

My sister in law did not have a bridal party either. Her parents walked along with her husband and the wedding surely went on. When it was time for the reception she did it the same exact way with no issues.

View Quoted Comment He doesn’t have parents so his aunt and uncle walked down after everyone was seated then my parents walked down and then my son walked me down the aisle.

My best friend did not have a bridal party but they had flower girl, ring bearer, the groom walk down first with his parents and, then she walked down with her parents. It was very short but they chose to have it that way, it didn’t look too bad but the music was cut a bit abrupt.

We're having a small wedding, about 35 people, and no wedding parties. My fiance's parents have passed, so no one from his side is walking down the aisle. My best friend's daughter is walking down the aisle first as my flower girl, and then my parents are walking me down the aisle.

We’re having a wedding with 100 guest, I have 5 best friends and I’m not having them in my wedding because I wanted it simple and stress free for the most part. My wedding party will consist of my mom, his mom and our kids. The order walking down will be the groom and his mom walks down, then my son and daughter walk down together, then my mom and me walks down.

No bridal party here. Everyone sat themselves, hubby walked his mom down the aisle and she sat, my dad walked me down the aisle and he sat. Ceremony.

We had no scheduled speeches at the reception. My husband and i expressed our thanks to our family at our welcome party the night before. My dad said a few words at the reception on his own.

No bridal party is going to save u so much money and stress!

Programs aren't necessary. I'm not a big fan of them unless you are having a complicated wedding (religious rituals unfamiliar to your guests, bilingual wedding).

You could have the processional:

* Officiant

* Him escorted by his parents

* You escorted by your parents

As for the reception, there are plenty of things that don't involve the bridal party: cake cutting, dinner, dancing. You don't have to have toasts, and if you have them, they can be given by people other than the bridal party (e.g., by one or more parents).

View Quoted Comment I know! People are making me feel like a loser though. The constant " why don't you have a bridal party?" With the looks of shock and disappointment lol

View Quoted Comment My fiancé’s cousin didn’t have a bridal party and she was the most relaxed and happy bride I’ve seen yet haha. I think it’s a very modern thing to do, some people are just judgy. 🙄

Some people do grandparents, parents, officiant , groom, bridal & groom party, the bride. but its what ever you want

We are having a best man & matron of honor small & simple. The more
people the more complicated

I have no one to walk me down the aisle,my parents lives abroad and won’t make it ,but instead my best friend is going to walk me instead.

View Quoted Comment Don’t feel that way! No bridal party can be a choice. My FH has lots of friends, and a very tight inner circle of friends. He doesn’t want a wedding party. I have very few close friends, and I’m having a MOH,a flower girl & ring bearer. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about the choices you make.

View Quoted Comment I’ve been getting that as well!!! I feel your pain. Wedding is 10 months away so I haven’t decided walking down the aisle details. Maybe ask some of your family members if they’d like to make a toast. Some people would love to!?

No bridal party either but no one’s walking down the aisle, it’s a small wedding so we’re going to be standing in the center of our gazebo holding hands and guests will come and sit on the benches surrounding us. I just really don’t want to walk down an aisle.
