All-white wedding, can my bridesmaid wear white?

March 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment

There is not set rules on what color the bridesmaids wear. If you want them to wear white, go for it.  I personally think that it would look beautiful, especially if the groomsmen wore black and the girls wore maybe a black sash. How about the groomsmen wearing white with a black/soft color vest and the bridesmaids white with black/soft color sash? 

With the Bride and Groom wearing all white, it would look so amazing.  You may also want the flowers to be white bouquets with the same soft tones as the vests and sashes.

We have an uneven number of bridesmaids and groomsmen.

We have an uneven number of bridesmaids and groomsmen. How do we pair them up for the ceremony?

Q: Our wedding party consists of four bridesmaids and seven groomsmen. What’s the best way to pair them up for the ceremony? 

A: Wedding parties like yours, with an uneven number of bridesmaids and groomsmen, are more common than you might think.  You do have several options to consider for both the processional and recessional. For the processional, your groomsmen could enter the church first and walk down the aisle in single file, followed by your bridesmaids. I would still have the maid-of-honor and the best-man walk down together. Or, the groomsmen could already be in the church, either at their seats or standing in front of the congregation with the groom, before your bridesmaids start their processional. For the recessional, pair the maid-of-hone with the bestman and have the rest walk back down the aisle single file of in pairs such as 2 birdesmaids, then 2 groomsmen, etc.

How many bridesmaids should you plan on

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.
