No, it is not odd at all. Don´t just ask anyone to stand up in your wedding-this would be the odd thing. A person that stands up for you in your wedding should be someone you really know,and I think should be someone that will support you-emotionally, for the rest of your life.
I had 4 bridesmaids, and my husband only had 1 best man. I was thinking of having other men (family members) stand up with him, but he didn´t even meet these men until one day before our wedding (he´s from Germany) so this would be too odd.
Go with one bridesmaid-you´ll be happy you did. Don´t worry about numbers, consider what is right!

I think that it is actually very sweet and intimate. Some people will just chose any old friend and have 6 and 7 bridesmaids and I don't think that is right. If you truly only feel a special bond with this one person, then you are doing the right thing. No one will think any less of it and it will be sooooo much easier to find a dress for just her and it will allow her to get something that suits her better. Congrats on your marriage and I would not give this another thought, you are dead on right in what you are doing!

Of course not, When I got married we had a small wedding and I just had a Maid of Honor, at first I thought that it would look odd with only 1 person up there with me, But It didn't .I personally think when you have a huge bridal party its more like people are trying to impress the guest, other than the real reason why you are there.

I don't think it's odd. We've been to weddings where they had 20 bridesmaids. That's a little much!. When my daughter got married, she had her fiancee's oldest daughter (12 years old) as her maid of honor, the youngest daughter (9 years old) as the flower girl, and his 8 year old son walked the mothers down the aisle, was the ring bearer, and stood with his Dad as the best man. They wanted the people closest to them as their wedding party, and the children were closest to their hearts. It was beautiful. Her wedding was also small (125 people). Go with the one that is closest to you and don't worry about having more. Good luck and best wishes.

One will look lovely. You want people looking at you not talking about how many extra bridesmaids you have.
For every bridesmaid you have the more formal the wedding.

Absolutely not! ;-)
Those that you ask to share that special honor with you is supposed to be those who are MOST important to you, whether it be one or a hundred...the goal should not be to try to create a whole "court" afterall-sometimes the more there are , the more "put on" it looks like you're either just trying not to "offend" anyone..so show off a bit! LOL
We're having a (what some may consider) "non"-traditional wedding party ourselves. I'm only having my MOH stand for me and my fiance has actually asked his mother to stand for him...and my daughter is the one who've I've asked to walk me down the isle.
It's however you'd want to do it and whoever is most important to you.
Congrats!!

That's all you need! I;ve only got one bridesmaid, and I think it's more intimate. Less hassles too. The more bridesmaids the more disagreements, fights, hassles. At least this way she can choose her own dress and shoes. There'll be no problems with one!

My sister did that, everything was fine, there is no rule stating that there has to be so many bridesmaids. I've seen as little as one and as many as 9. Its your wedding whatever makes u happy.

I only had my maid of honour. I didnt need anyone else. I think having anyone other then that is more so just for show or to keep things fair between friends because the one person you choose as maid of honour is obviously the person you want beside you more then anything. so no, I dont think its weird. I think its great you have someone other then your fiance that you want to celebrate the day with you.

Its your wedding, Have it the way you would like it. You should be proud of what you have done. The wedding is eye sight is one you. It's not bad that you only have one bridesmaid. i might be the same if I didn't have any sister.
