Uneven bridal party

Shannon, on August 3, 2019 at 9:26 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11
Hi all! I am hoping you all can share some pics of uneven wedding parties. My 1 bridesmaid has already bought her dress, so there's no going back there. However, my FH had decided that the person he was originally going to have said groomsman is not someone he wants to have be in our pics/memories forever - I agree with him, after recentevents.

The only other person he really has is my brother & they're not super close.

My question is - will it look awkward to have just one bridesmaid & no groomsmen on his side?

    It's become somewhat of a trend now to have the opposite sex as a groomsman or bridesmaid/MOH. If he has a close female friend he can ask her. Otherwise, if it's what you have, then I'm sure you guys can make it work. We will also have an uneven wedding party but not with 1 and 0 so that's a tough call. I've never seen that before but that doesn't mean it can't be done. Good luck! Smiley catface

    We will have two grooms women no grooms man and 4 BM. The grooms women are going to come out from side and stand with fiancé.

    Jasmine, thanks for the input! I would be ok with uneven sides, if it wasn't 1 & 0...I just don't want him to feel awkward or anything, even though he says he doesn't care.

    You're most welcome! That's why we'll be uneven as well. He doesn't really know people like that to really want to share such an important event so I understand. I wouldn't want him to feel that way either.

    Uneven sides are very common now. I had 3 of my closest friends as my bridesmaids and he had his brother as his groomsman.

    I think uneven bridal parties are fine I have 3 bridesmaids (my 2 best friends and my sisters girlfriend) and my sisters is my MOH my FH only has 2 groomsmen. My sister and her girlfriend will walk down together. So there will be a total of 4 on my side and 2 on his side.

    I have seven bridesmaids, nine if we include my two junior ones. My fiance has six groomsmen. I don't care for having them matched. I wanted those nine in my bridal party. My fiance wanted those six to be his groomsmen. Matching was never our priority. The plan for now is that the bridesmaids will walk down the aisle and then the groomsmen will walk down the aisle. Or vice versa.

    I have a matron of honor, FH is opting out of groomsmen & a bestman. Work with the number that suits you best.

    Uneven is totally fine. I was in a wedding with 2 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen once.

    Our bridal party is 4 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen. It's all about having those close to you on your big day.

    If he says he doesn't care, I think you are ok. It looks like we'll have uneven parties for our wedding (I pretty much have my maid of honor, my FH has up to four people he'd want, but he's worried about it being super uneven). I think 1 and 0 is better than 2 and 10!
