Bridesmen and Groomswomen??? Can we do this?
March 4, 2009
Within the last few years more and more couples have been having their bridal party mix up the traditional gender roles.
And Yes! You most certainly can do this!
Most common these days is when a couple asks their siblings to stand with them. Second most common is when someone of the opposite sex has been your best friend. I call these the 'Man of Honor' (no relation to Joseph Bonanno's autobiography of that same name) and the 'Best Woman'
How do the walk?
This is a question a couple brought up just this week. the answer that worked for them was everyone enters alone, alternating sides on which they will stand. So one for the Groom, one for the Bride and so on.
How do we dress them?
Why complementing one another of course! Although I have seen a Bridesman in a dress, it isn't the usual.
Happy planning and remember Do what is meaningful to you and makes you happy!
