Anyone not having bridesmaids?

I've been to a couple of weddings without bridesmaids. Nothing wrong with it, there's no rule that says you have to have them. I've also been to one without a best man. My friend even got married without wedding rings!

When in doubt recite this little mantra 20 times: 'it's MY wedding and I'll do what I like'.

Your wedding, your way!! If you don't want/can't afford a BM then don't have one. You'll need another witness to sign the register so if you're worried about your photos looking unbalanced then have whoever you choose as your witness to be on the photos x

I'm not having any bridesmaids. 1) I don't want the added expense and 2) I don't really have anyone to be a bridesmaid! I had to agree with the other reply ... it's your wedding and you can do what you want.

I'm sure some people may be a little confused with some of our choices but I don't care, it's our day not theirs!!

I have 2 little girls who would prob leave home if I didn't let them be bridesmaids! But, if I didn't I wouldnt have any either, you do what you want!

My daughter isn't having bridesmaids either. Two reasons really.. one - although she has lots of friends that are girls, her very best and closest friend is a man and they have been best friends from leaving school so she is having him as a Man of Honour instead and he is thrilled to be doing it. The other reason was the cost that comes with all the bridesmaid scenario! I've had lots of customers who didn't have bridesmaids - it's quite common now to be honest because a lot of Brides can think of other things they would like to spend the money on and when you add up the cost of their dresses, hair and make up, flowers, presents, it can be a substantial amount towards your honeymoon!

'Man of Honour' - I like that term! was trying to persuade my son to be a 'bridesmaid' but couldn't think of a suitable title. I'll try that one on him.

I'm not having bridesmaids!

Also not having best man nor ushers! So in other words its just about me+him. We have 23 guests and actually we decided if did have the whole things bridemaids, ushers etc there wouldnt be anyone left as guests left to 'ush' :-)

Its only been met with one 'surprise' reaction from a friend "oh its not a proper wedding then" from her, What? We only need bride+groom + 2 witnesses!

I'm not having bridesmaids as such, just 2 flower girls as I haven't lived where I do for very long so have a mix of new friends who I haven't known long enough to be BMs and old friends who I don't 100% feel are worthy of the role!I also have no sisters or female cousins who I could ask.

And I wouldn't worry about it looking unbalanced either in pics - at my wedding we'll have 2 best men, 4 ushers and 2 pageboys against my 2 flowergirls! Haha! xxx

Oooooooooooooooops

i don't know anyone who has no BM.

anyway, good luck!

If you dont want them dont have them

I am only having our two daughters, no adult bridesmaid, mainly because of money but thought it would also look stupid if we had loads.

I totally agree with the your wedding, your way stance. I am having a MOH, 2 big ones and 2 little ones (I don't know how that happened, but still! ?) but I wouldn't think a wedding with none was odd at all x

We are not having bridesmaids best man or ushers We have are 2 boys and my nice wich i didnt want but hay ho(my nice that is)

Thanks everyone, don't feel as worried anymore.

We're having our little girl Christened straight after we get married so she'll be wearing a little dress and will look like a flower girl in the pics so don't think it will look too weird afterall!
