    I was recently in a wedding where there were 15 of us all together Bride, Groom, 5 bridesmaids, and 5 groomsmen, plus two flower girls and a ring bearer.

    in my wedding there are going to be 10-14 depending on if I do 3 or 5 bridesmaids/groomsmen

    Way under lol. I can't imagine having that many attendants and our venue advises against it. We are having a MOH, BM, flower girl and ring bearer.
