this week all about who you choose as your Maid of Honour? And I’d love to continue it here and get your input.
The question: Who do you choose: your sister or your Best Friend? And how do you tell the other person that they’re not your Maid of Honor?
This is a questions that haunted me for a long time before my wedding, having a ‘bestie’ who I adored and 4 sisters and only two Bridesmaids, it was a really hard decision for me and I didn’t like having to choose at all.

Who have you chosen/would you chose? Join the debate and leave your comments below. It’s a really important question because like me, some of us have a hard decision to make and hearts to break at the end of it and it can be so, terribly stressful.

I am having ten bridesmaids because that feels like the right number, and one of my oldest friends is my chief bridesmaid, because I have two sisters and choosing between them didn’t feel right. The rest of my ladies are made up of my husband to be’s sister, and close friends old and new!
Great question. I’ve asked my sister as we are really close but in saying that my BF is just as close. I personally felt that they were both equally important so my BF will be the GodMum of our first born child 🙂 xxx
I think that it’s important for brides to realise they don’t have to choose a maid of honour, all bridesmaids can be equal. If the bride is worried that she will not follow tradition by doing this, she need not worry as traditionally bridesmaids are supposed to be single and unmarried as well.
I think it’s important to also make note that some brides don’t actually have a lot of friends to choose from, some may not have any close female friends or family to be bridesmaids. This could potentially be an upsetting time for the bride, particularly if she see’s other weddings with many bridesmaids (such as the photo in this article).
So if you can’t decide on who should be maid of honour, then don’t have one and don’t worry 🙂
