Who are your bridesmaids??

Hollie1984, 8 September, 2011 at 10:33 Posted on Planning 0 32

Just wondering who everyone is having/had as their bridesmaids? Friends / Family / OH Family or a mixture?

I have my sister as MOH and my cousin and my OH's neice as bridesmaids. I would of loved to have had my 4 best friends also but if i asked one i would have had to ask all 4 of them and i felt like that was too many so kept it as just family and my friends were fine with this. I wanted them to still be part of the day so they all have small 'jobs' like decorating etc and one is doing a reading for us in church - i am going to get them all a wrist corsage to wear on the day as a thank you ?

    This was my problem, Im having my sister and OH's sister but I have 6 close friends I really wanna ask. I am seriously thinking about it as I have found an American website that do dessy dresses at a reasonable price.

    I like the idea of them wearing wrist corsages though, thats really nice. xxx

    Two of my best friends! I could've have extended it to another two or three people but I really didn't have the budget! They will be doing a reading instead though. OH sister was asked but she wanted me to have friends over her and was quite happy to do a reading.

    I have my sister as MOH and my best friend. I would have had OH's three brother's WAGs, but that would have made 5 which was too many for me, so they are helping out in other ways.

    I'm having my two close friends, they were the first people i told after parents/brothers/sister and they were soo happy and my OH's sister. I was originally only going to have 1 friend and OH sister. But the other friend has been soo happy, helpful (she bought me this for my bday http://www.amazon.co.uk/Handmade-Weddings-More-Crafts-Personalize/dp/0811874508/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315475417&sr=8-1) and has kindly said she'd design and print our stationery. I sat down with OH and said what does he think about also asking her to be a BM and said yes and would love her to be there as part of our day.

    I'm not having any, but if I was, they would be my best friend and my step daughter.

    I'm having two of my best friends (one of whom is "chief" BM) and my sister. Mum wanted me to have some of my cousins but I told her there were far too many to choose from! No flowergirls/page boys, and OH doesn't have any female relatives so I didn't have to worry about that!

    My two best friends and my SIL2b!

    No MOH because there is no way i could choose between my best friends. Its a bit strange, they've only met each other once at my 21st birthday (a long time ago now!), one i know from Uni and one from when i worked in america. i get a bit nervous that they won't get on, but i know they will because they have to they have my bridezilla needs to attend to!!!

    I'm having my sis, sis-in-law, niece and daughter. I did want my friends daughter too but if I'd have gone past the 'family' I would have had to have loads more b.m's so stuck to my family only selection.

    I'm getting the two older ones, sis and sis-in-law and bracelet made that they will wear on the day and the two little ones, my daughter and niece have lots of goodies, 'my day as a bridesmaid book', shoes, hair decoration, jewellrey, camera etc etc..

    My dearest friend is my MOH, she will be 34.

    Then, I have 2 nieces who will be 14/15, 2 Nieces and 1 friends daughter who will be between 9 &12, and 3 flower girls aged 7, 4 & 3.

    Thats 10 in total - GULP! Lol. I just couldnt pick between any of them so I am having them all, on the provision that the parents help to pay for the outfits which most of them have already agreed to.

    I really don't know. I'm having a very small wedding abroad on a budget and have explained to friends and family that I'm not having any BMs other than my daughter. However I'm still going to need to have a guest as a witness so whoever that is will sort of be a CBM in a way I guess and the more I look at photos of other weddings the more I want my two best friends and my future SIL (I only have one sibling and he has been with his GF for years and they will get married at some point). I just don't want to overspend and we're not having a traditional wedding in any way but I also don't want to look back and regret not having my best girls more involved....

    I am having my best friend as MOH, my youngest sister (my other two sisters asked not to be which was fine with me!) and my youngest cousin although we haven't asked her yet (I was bridesmaid for my Uncle and Aunt at their wedding and I know she wanted to be a bridesmaid).

    I was thinking of having OH twin sisters but I think we are going to keep my family as bridemaids and then his family as Ushers/Best Man.

    I'm having my best friend and my daughter, not really that close to my sister. Feel a tad awful though as her long term partner is my OH best man.

    My sister is the Chief Bridesmaid, best friend is MOH (as she is married) by H2B sister (although i didnt want to but he wanted her to be involed long story!) and close friends daughter.

    i also wanted to ask my 4 best mates but 8 bridesmaid is too much and i felt cheeky asking if they would pay for their bridesmaid dresses, eth you have to think of cars aswell!!
