No bridesmaids or groomsmen

We are having a traditional wedding but me being quite a loner, honestly don’t have anyone to be MOH or bridesmaids. So thought about only having flower girl and ring bearer come down. Thoughts?

Flower girl and ring bearer
Alexis, on March 1, 2021 at 12:10 PM

Do the flower girl and ring bearer usually stand at the Alter after walking down the aisle? Or do they sit with their parents in the row? Also, do they walk out at the end of the ceremony as well?

Does the ring bearer needs a pillow and the box rings or just the box rings is fine?
