It is very okay if your bridesmaid is more than the groom’s men or even lesser than the number of the selected groom’s men.
- The bridesmaid outfit and how they should appear, is your decision to make, for goodness sake, it is your wedding day, not theirs.
- Your bridesmaid could be fat, short, tall, dark, fair, chocolate, crippled or could even be a guy, You should not narrow your choice to a specific body type or gender.
- Choosing a bridesmaid with the hope that when she’s also getting married she would also choose you, is a wrong fallacy that needs to be avoided like a plague.
- You need to understand that a lady who is already married can also be your bridesmaid. Bridesmaid duties do not revolve around single ladies alone.
- It is very okay if you decide not to choose a particular lady because of her behaviour, character, or for some personal reasons. You can give her another duty like saying the toast e.t.c
- It is more than okay if you decide you don’t need any bridesmaids at your wedding after all
