Our twist on this classic is to have as many bridesmaids or groomsmen as you want\u2026 and for tons of practical reasons, not just to buck tradition. Maybe your partner is more extroverted than you are and has eight friends lined up for bridesmaid or groomsmen spots, while you prefer to keep your circle small with two or three besties. That’s totally okay! Don’t feel pressure to ask people you aren’t as close with to be in your wedding just for aesthetics. A beautiful bride is a comfortable bride, surrounded by people who love her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"56228\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_BetterTogetherMoments_SarahGriffith-10-1-700x467.jpeg\" alt=\"Bride wearing Fontaine by Maggie Sottero kisses her husband in front of bridesmaids and groomsmen\" class=\"wp-image-56228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_BetterTogetherMoments_SarahGriffith-10-1-700x467.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_BetterTogetherMoments_SarahGriffith-10-1-250x167.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_BetterTogetherMoments_SarahGriffith-10-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_BetterTogetherMoments_SarahGriffith-10-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_BetterTogetherMoments_SarahGriffith-10-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_BetterTogetherMoments_SarahGriffith-10-1.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1919\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"56230\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_SydnieLeahPhotography_JennaSpain-3-1-edited-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Bride wearing Fontaine by Maggie Sottero kisses her husband in front of bridesmaids and groomsmen\" class=\"wp-image-56230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_SydnieLeahPhotography_JennaSpain-3-1-edited-scaled.jpeg 1919w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_SydnieLeahPhotography_JennaSpain-3-1-edited-250x333.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_SydnieLeahPhotography_JennaSpain-3-1-edited-700x934.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_SydnieLeahPhotography_JennaSpain-3-1-edited-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_SydnieLeahPhotography_JennaSpain-3-1-edited-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_SydnieLeahPhotography_JennaSpain-3-1-edited-1535x2048.jpeg 1535w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FONTAINE_SydnieLeahPhotography_JennaSpain-3-1-edited-120x160.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1919px) 100vw, 1919px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">PC: Better Together Moments | Sydnie Leah<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another wedding tradition we’re reimagining: Who says your best guy friend can’t be in your wedding party?

It\u2019s becoming more of a mainstay to let bridesmaids choose their own outfits from a lineup of colors or silhouettes. This is a wedding tradition that you can totally feel free to break!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re worried about your (ahem) \u201cfashionista\u201d friend who tends to go overboard, you have options. Bridesmaids can look super cohesive with a predetermined color palette with purposely mismatched shades. Give your bridal party options you’ve picked out yourself, or have them send their dress picks beforehand so you can tactfully veto dresses that are way outside your comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"56236\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/EKATERINA_RiccardoGiommettiPhoto_LuliaAndrei-24-1-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"Bride wearing Ekaterina by Maggie Sottero surrounded by bridesmaids in mismatching dresses as a new wedding tradition\" class=\"wp-image-56236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/EKATERINA_RiccardoGiommettiPhoto_LuliaAndrei-24-1-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/EKATERINA_RiccardoGiommettiPhoto_LuliaAndrei-24-1-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/EKATERINA_RiccardoGiommettiPhoto_LuliaAndrei-24-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/EKATERINA_RiccardoGiommettiPhoto_LuliaAndrei-24-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/EKATERINA_RiccardoGiommettiPhoto_LuliaAndrei-24-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/EKATERINA_RiccardoGiommettiPhoto_LuliaAndrei-24-1-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"56235\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/TENLEY_Leah-Lombardi_WendyLowe-8-1-1-700x467.jpeg\" alt=\"Bride wearing Tenley by Maggie Sottero surrounded by bridesmaids in mismatching dresses as a new wedding tradition\" class=\"wp-image-56235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/TENLEY_Leah-Lombardi_WendyLowe-8-1-1-700x467.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/TENLEY_Leah-Lombardi_WendyLowe-8-1-1-250x167.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/TENLEY_Leah-Lombardi_WendyLowe-8-1-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/TENLEY_Leah-Lombardi_WendyLowe-8-1-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/TENLEY_Leah-Lombardi_WendyLowe-8-1-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/TENLEY_Leah-Lombardi_WendyLowe-8-1-1-120x80.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">PC: Riccardo Giommetti Photo | Leah Lombardi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pros of this \u201canti-tradition\u201d are endless!

Having a sibling, grandparent, or close father or mother figure give you away is just as special as a parent, even if it isn’t \u201ctradition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\" data-id=\"56240\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography394-Discontinued-1-700x1050.jpg\" alt=\"Father looking at his daughter before walking her down the aisle as a wedding tradition\" class=\"wp-image-56240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography394-Discontinued-1-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography394-Discontinued-1-250x375.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography394-Discontinued-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography394-Discontinued-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography394-Discontinued-1-120x180.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography394-Discontinued-1.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-id=\"56241\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography412-1-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"Bride leaves a kiss on her father's cheek in new wedding tradition\" class=\"wp-image-56241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography412-1-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography412-1-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography412-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography412-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography412-1-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FATHEROFTHEBRIDE-FrancescaBennett-Wedding-JessicaJonesPhotography412-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">PC: Jessica Jones Photography<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, we’ve also seen a lot of brides opt to walk themselves down the aisle!
