uneven bridal party

I don't think it is a big deal. There are a lot of people who have uneven bridal parties and pics and everything will be perfect!

We also have an uneven bridal party. We have 2 FG's, 1 MoH, 4 BM's, 2 Best Men, and 4 GroomsMen. So one more guy than women for the adults. We figure that for pictures we can have the two Best Men double up with the MOH between them, which should be amusing since they're both TALL as HECK (like 6' 6" & 6' 10") and she's 5' 5"...

For processional, we're not really sure what we want to do, but to be honest? That's not a huge part of the ceremony... it's just walking in, so who cares if it is slightly uneven? You might even ask your bridal party how they want to walk in... they might have some more creative ideas. lol.

Yea I would definitely play on the height difference lol. thanks!

We're having an uneven BP, we will have one best man, one moh, and one bm. I think I'm going to have my bm come out first and step to the side, then have his best man and my MOH come in.

Mine is uneven too, since I had a friend back out. For the processional, we'll just have the last girl be with 2 guys. For pics, we'll probably just have everyone kinda scattered so it won't be so obvious. I think it really depends on how anal you are. Personally, I just care about having the people I love the most there to support me.

Honestly, there is not an issue in having an uneven bridal party. And having one is a lot better than trying to keep the sides even--which often results in people being asked who are not that close to the bride or groom, or people being left out who are close to one or the other of them.

It doesn't matter my cousin had an uneven bridal party we were a groomsman short she just walked in by herself. Or make the extra guy an usher or have two groomsman escort the last bridesmaid down Honey it can be done & still look fabulous!!!!

My bridal party has been uneven since the beginning and I don't care! The guys will be standing up at the front already and the bridesmaids will be party of the processional. Then for the recessional they will joins arms with the groomsmen and walk down. One bridesmaid gets to have 2 groomsmen though which I think will be cute. They are all related so it's not like "that" haha

Oops I meant to say "Part of" not "party of" lol

I'm a photographer and I have shot quite a few uneven wedding parties. It doesn't matter a bit with creative formal posing.

While they are walking down, most bridesmaids walk by themselves, and on the way back, just have two gals on one of the guys. It will work out just fine!

Thanks everyone, pretty helpful! I think it will look just fine and since our wedding is not going to be the most formal I don't think it will be much of an issue

It's ok...i think uneven seems more real in a sense..than just getting any ole person to fill in.

not a huge part of the day...

since the focus is on the bride and groom.

I just went to a wedding with an uneven bridal party. I never would have noticed except one of the BM had to hold the ring bearer's hand to get him to walk back down the isle. It was really cute!

I am not even having all the bride's maids and groomsmen. We chose just to have MOH and Bestman. Suppose we are odd in that , but did not want a big to do wedding. Just small and simple. Two mothers walking down lighting candles, MOH and BM walking down, and then my Dad and I.

We were originally going to have 5 on each side, but then decided to do a bit smaller and only do MOH and BM, only for my FH..he is having Best Men, his four year old son and his father will be standing with him so ours will be uneven by a half a person,lol. we will also have a fg and rb, but the MOH is the rb mother and may have to walk with him if he chickens out which is highly likely..lol, I think ours will be great even if it is uneven slighlty, do what works for you. I am walking down the aisle by myself though since second wedding and Dad already "gave me away" the first one, I figure I can give myself away for this one, haha so we are doing our own thing.

I have a lot of clients with uneven sides.. There are many ways to handle the processional and recessional. sometimes there are guys on the bride's side, and gals on the groom's side, which makes pairing up couples a bit tricky, so, again, I just get creative.. I am sure you will, too!

I think it's better to go in with uneven sides and people you love than say 'i want seven' and just start plugging people in.

mine will be uneven. Three girls and possibly ywo boys( we will see how that goes) if I can talk fh into including his sister into his side (the rest of his family is involved) then it might be even...but we just chose the people we wanted, not thinking about numbers

We are having four on each side for sure, 1 MOH, 1 Best Man; 2 Bridesmaids, 2 Groomsmen; 1 Jr. BM, 1 Jr GM. However, a really good friend of ours is currently preparing to leave for Afghanistan (he was part of the huge Iowa deployment if any of you have heard of that) and should he be back on his leave during our wedding, we will have as the 2nd Best Man. He will just wear his Class A's which look very nice; there is no sense in getting him a tux when we may not know until like 2 weeks before when he will be home. As for walking in/out, both best men will escort the MOH. All is well

We will be uneven too. One Maid of Honor, One Matron of Honor and two bridesmaids, One Best Man and Four Groomsmen and 1 ring girl (my 12 yr old is walking our rings down) so I guess it wont be too uneven. Four hostesses.

Don't worry about it. My brother has half has many groomsmen than my sister in law. My friend also just got married and there were 2 men to each bridesmaid. We had NO wedding party. That's the way to go.
