Bridesmaids at play
This is a personal choice. The average number of bridesmaids is about 3-5, plus the Maid of Honor. This gives the altar a nice, full look without it looking over crowded.
Usually you match bridesmaids with groomsmen, so consider how many groomsmen your groom would like when choosing your bridesmaids.
Remember, no matter how many you choose, it is your (and you grooms) decision. After all it is your wedding day.
