Non traditional wedding party

Brittany, on December 19, 2018 at 7:44 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 1 10

Who else is going the non traditional route and having a bridesman or Man of honor and/or their future husband having a groomswoman or best woman? What, if anything, are you having everyone carry, in this situation?




My fiancé and I are both doing it. My best friend for 15 years is being my man of honor and one of his sisters is going to be his best woman and the other (more than likely) is going to be his groomswoman. We’re pretty excited about it! We’re going to have my man of honor and his best woman each carry a hollowed out book (or one of those fake books) with flowers attached to the outside and our rings in them because we aren’t having a ring bearer and I couldn’t figure out what I wanted everyone to carry. My bridesmaid and his other sister will carry a normal bouquet. I think it’ll be really cute!!

    Hi Brittany! I love the idea of your MOH (this time it means man of honor) and best woman are carrying books! I think that's so unique, but super clever, especially if the books represent something to you and your FH. Where did the idea come from?

    I went to a wedding once where the wedding party was mixed gender on each side and two members of the wedding party - I guess it was the MOH and the BM spots - handed out candy. Like, every couple of aisles, they took candy out of a basket and handed it to the person on the end. It was really cute and it also gave people who were a little snacky something to occupy their stomachs for the ceremony. Smiley smile

    I was my dad’s best (wo) man. It’s definitely more mainstream now.

    My best friend is a male. He is a bridesmaid. He is wearing khakis and a matching button up shirt. He will get ready with the men and met us when were dressed and ready go walk down.

    That's an awesome idea!

    We have 6 kids combined and my nieces and nephew whom I'm very close with. I wanted to incorporate all of the kids in the ceremony. My Dad recently passed away and all my grandfathers have passed as well. I'm going to have my 13 year old son give me away. His daughter (19) will be my maid of honor and his son (13) will be his best man. Then we'll have his daughter (12) and my nephew (10) as bridesmaid/groomsmen, then my niece (5) and son (7) will be bridesmaid/groomsmen and my other niece (1) and son (4) will be flower girl and ring bearer Smiley smile

    I was a groomswoman at my friends' wedding and I LOVED it! I had known them both for so long and it was going to be a little skewed. She wanted even numbers and I was more than happy to join Team Groom. I wore the same dress as the girls but in black to match the guys' tuxedoes.

    The bride asked if I wanted a bouquet like the bridesmaids, or matching corsage to the guys' boutonnieres. I decided on a corsage as I knew there was drastic price difference between the two and every penny counted.
