On your wedding day ? one of the happiest and most hectic days of your life ? it is important to surround yourself with people you care about and trust. Your bridal attendants and groomsmen should serve that purpose. You chose them to join you and your fianc? in celebrating your new life as a married couple because these men and women are your closest friends and confidants. ??
Conventional wisdom says that for a smaller, more intimate wedding, choose one to three attendants. For a large and lavish affair, you can have up to 12. Most weddings include between five and eight attendants.?
Traditionally, there is one groomsman per bridesmaid to keep symmetry at the altar and in photographs. Some wedding parties also include ushers to assist in seating family and friends, particularly the mothers of the bride and groom. To include younger family members, you may want to have a flower girl, a ring bearer or train bearer.
Keep in mind that in your wedding photographs and memories, these individuals will always be your wedding attendants. Be sure to ask attendants with whom you want to spend time, not only on your wedding day but also in your future.
Maid or matron of honor. Whether she?s been down the aisle herself (matron) or not (maid), your honor attendant should be someone who is dear to your heart. She should also be someone you can depend upon while planning the wedding and especially on your wedding day. Often, a bride asks a sister or best friend to fill this important role.
Best man. The best man should be someone whom the groom can rely upon ? not only to help him with the wedding details, but also to offer moral support during this wonderful and stressful time in his life. Often the groom asks a brother, close relative or best friend to stand with him.
Bridesmaids. Bridesmaids are usually sisters, family members or close friends of the bride or groom. They help with wedding errands, help throw a bridal shower, and are key guests at all pre-wedding parties.
Groomsmen/ushers
Groomsmen and ushers are usually brothers, relatives or close friends of the bride and groom.
Flower girls. Traditionally, one or two flower girls between age four and eight walk down the aisle alone or with the ring bearer. If your flower girls are shy, pair them with an older escort. Flower girls can carry pomanders (balls of flowers that match the bridesmaids? or bride?s bouquet held by a ribbon), a basket of rose petals to scatter, or baby roses to pass out as they walk down the aisle.?
Ring bearer. Have a ring bearer ? a young boy, age 4 or 5 ? walk down the aisle with the rings tied by ribbon on a decorative pillow, or carried within a decorative treasure box. If you worry about such a young person being responsible for the rings, simply use metal or plastic instead of the actual rings. The ring bearer may walk alone or escort the flower girl(s).
Train bearer. A young child, about 4 or 5 years old, can also act as a train bearer, following the bride down the aisle and carrying her train.
