Does The Size Of Your Bridal Party Really Matters?

Image
Most brides never stop to think about the size of their wedding when choosing their bridesmaids because the emphasis is mostly placed on having people their close to participating in the wedding. While that is the goal everyone you're close to may not be able to participate and you'll have to balance between the size of your wedding versus the size of your bridal party. The size of your bridal party should be proportionate to the size of your wedding and the size of your wedding will also dictate how formal it should be. Formal weddings tend to be large, so you can have between 6-10 bridesmaid, the same amount for groomsmen along with your best man, maid/matron of honour, flowers girl and ring bearer.

The Tradition of Bride Standing on Groom's Left

If anyone came to attack he could push the bride aside with his left hand and draw his sword with his right.

Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started? In ancient times, men sometimes captured women to make them their brides, so a man would take along his strongest and most trusted friend to help him fight resistance from the woman's family. This friend would be considered the best man, but the “best” in best man really referred to the quality of a man’s swordsmanship than anything else. Weddings in Anglo-Saxon England had the best man accompany the groom up the aisle to help defend the bride. Today the best man has no such worries, his role is certainly not one of a warrior but for emotional support instead. Brought to you by Regal Creative Design Wedding and Events!
