An uneven bridal party happens more often than you think. Just think of some of the weddings you’ve been to in the past years. Did you really count how many groomsmen and bridesmaids there were? Yeah… right.
You may have plans on an even amount of people in your wedding party, but things may change. There may be more people that the groom wants than the bride may want and that’s okay.
Know that this is not a popularity contest. Do not feel that you have to have just as many as your spouse. Just pick the most special people to you and that’s that.
The main thing is when you’re taking your wedding photos, the people that you adore are standing next to you in your wedding party.
Walking Down the Aisle
This may be the part you are feeling most anxious about. How to have an uneven bridal party for the wedding processional? The answer is simple, you just have to be a little creative. Here are some ways you could have an uneven wedding party enter the processional.
Idea 1- Single File
This is the most obvious solution to this problem. You could have an elegant song play during your wedding processional as each bridesmaid walks down and each groomsman walks down individually.
Having the guys in girls walking individually instead of side-by-sideIs a good wayTo get your mind off of your uneven bridal party during the wedding processional.
Idea 2- Grouped

Any extra of your bridal party could also walk with your ring bearer or escort one of the flower girls. You could get pretty creative for the wedding processional with your bridal party with groups.
Idea 3- From the Sides

At the Altar
