Alternative ways to arrange wedding party during ceremony

Kathy, on October 5, 2021 at 2:27 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 3

Hello! FH and I have a large wedding party, 9 bridesmaids and 9 groomsmen. While it's totally acceptable and normal, we feel bad that some people in the party will be at the end, quite far away. Almost the whole wedding party is immediate family.

We were thinking of having them stand in windows, like the image here. We have a few very tall guys that are 6'5+ that could stand in the back and still be visible. I know someone will have to be at the very end either way, but we thought people would be much closer to us in this arrangement than 8 down.

I was wondering if anyone else has tried an arrangement besides the usual straight line? Our head table at dinner is tiered and arranged so no one is more than 4ish people away from us, so we'd like to try that for the ceremony too.

Thanks in advance!

    You could have the bridesmaids sit on chairs with the groomsmen standing behind them! Put 5 of each on one side, and the remaining 4 of each on the other side. That way, it'd still be similar to what you were thinking, but all of the groomsmen (and bridesmaids) would be visible regardless of height.

    Hi Kathy! If there's a big enough height difference then doing two staggered lines like this on either side will definitely work!

    I also like Lisa's idea of seating the bridesmaids - and if your ceremony venue has steps up front you can use those to your arranging advantage!!
