Goooood question 🤓
This is a controversial question, as everyone's answer is different.
The party line is this: The more people, the more opinions. The more opinions, the more overwhelm.
👆This is real and happens regularly. Even when people bring only 2 guests. That's 2 opinions that might differ from yours, and can cause confusion (make you question your own choice) and upset (if you loved a dress that they don't).
However, we also see brides who want to bring their 2 Nans, Mum, future MIL, MOH and 2 bridesmaids, and couldn't possibly say yes without having them all present in that moment. This is okay too 🫶
For me, I think less is more. Not because of the overwhelm, but I'm here for the element of surprise 🎆 The more people who see your dress before your wedding, the fewer people who will be wowed on the day.
I LOVE those photos with the bridal party and close family members, when they see the bride for the first time. It's captured on camera or video, and their eyes as you're looking your most amazing self. That's a special moment 🥰
