uneven wedding party

You do NOT need a matched number of wedding attendants on each side. Here are gorgeous real weddings where there was an uneven number of bridesmaids and groomsmen… And everything worked out just fine.

How to make a one-sided wedding party work (you have a crew and your partner doesn’t!)

When my fiancé and I got engaged, there was no question for me that I would ask my three best friends to be my bridesmaids. That said, my fiancé doesn’t want to have any groomsmen/women. I’ve seen advice about uneven parties, but not about one partner skipping them entirely. Any creative suggestions?

Sarah & Tasha’s tattooed and not-strictly-traditional wedding

These ladies successfully merged traditional and offbeat with their lovely white dresses, ice cream bar instead of a cake, mixed-gender (and fashion) wedding party, and eerily similar vows that they didn’t even plan out together!

Lizzie & Chris’ slope-side snow lovers wedding

A ski instructor meets a snowboarding instructor and it’s love at first powder. What better way to celebrate the marriage of these two snow bunnies than to have the ceremony on the slope itself? Add in some ski-loving details into the cool bar reception and you’ve got a party even the clumsiest of skiers (like me) would love.
