No bridesmaids or groomsmen

We are having a traditional wedding but me being quite a loner, honestly don’t have anyone to be MOH or bridesmaids. So thought about only having flower girl and ring bearer come down. Thoughts?

Are Flowers a Requirement?
Mrs. Spring, on February 21, 2021 at 11:35 PM

Does a bride really have to carry a bouquet?! I'm not a flower person and I just feel so wastedul buying a bouquet of flowers when they'll die in 3 to 14 days. What are your thoughts? Does it look odd...

Flower girl and ring bearer
Alexis, on March 1, 2021 at 12:10 PM

Do the flower girl and ring bearer usually stand at the Alter after walking down the aisle? Or do they sit with their parents in the row? Also, do they walk out at the end of the ceremony as well?

Does the ring bearer needs a pillow and the box rings or just the box rings is fine?

Ring bearer

Joey, on February 25, 2021 at 7:02 PM

I was wondering if it would be too silly or confusing to have the officiant read generic vows out loud to people and have prerecorded personal vows that we could play via wireless earbud to each other...
