There's no set rule as to how many bridesmaids become too many, but anything over 8 is looked at being a big group of bridesmaids. The average number of bridesmaids is 3-5.

Some brides decide to have only a maid of honour or 1 bridesmaid, and this is totally normal, but some decide to have a bigger group of up to 12.

If your going for a mismatched look with an even number of bridesmaids, some brides like a balanced look - having half the bridesmaids in one style and the other half in another style.

If you have an odd number of bridesmaids and your going for a mix & match bridesmaids look, we recommend letting your girls choose their own styles and having a totally mismatched group. This is more of a relaxed way to achieve a mix & match and something we love.

As huge advocates of mix & matched bridesmaids, we also love it when girls mix colours together. Whether thats complimentary shades of clashing tones, we're totally here for it!
