huge wedding

I have a wedding party of 32. I still want it be elegant. Is 32 too many?

The number of the bridal party does not affect the elegance of your affair. It will however affect the timing of your ceremony and the reception. Your processional and recessional will take longer. The formal pictures will take longer. The bridal party announcement at the reception will of course take longer. If you have a receiving line, I recommend that it only be the bride and groom and parents.

Dear Bride,

The standard formal is bridesmaid for every 50 guests. I hope that helps.

All the best,
