When the bridal party isn't symetrical

[BecBennett]

We're probably going to have 4 or 5 groomsmen, but only 3 bridesmaids, does anyone have any wedding photos of something similar?
I'd like to see what the photographer did to make everything look equal.
Thanks

Its not uncommon to not have an equal number of BM's and GM's. Your planner will know what to do as far as arrainging everyone (to include walking into the ceremony and walking out).

We had an equal number of BM's and GM's (3 of each), but during the ceremony, one of the GM's fainted, so we were left with 3 BM's and 2 GM's. I don't think it looked odd in any way. Here's a photo of what it looked like (for some reason, photobucket is not working, so I pulled this off of the Roots' blog):

I agree w/ PP that it's not uncommon to be uneven and that the planner will coordinate everything.
We had 2 BM's, 2GM's, and an usher. The usher was an unofficial 3rd GM- so he didn't stand during the ceremony, but was in basically all the photos. (I think I only have a handful of group pics that he's not in) I'll post a couple so you can see the difference- it didn't look too strange except for the fact that he's 6'7'' and towers over us all.

Pre- Ceremony (I think it looks more awkward here b/c we're so spread out):

Post-Ceremony w/o usher:

W/ usher- we jokingly told him to kneel by the FG- then he'd be proportional to everyone else! :

Hmm...the link on my pic above didn't work. Oh well. Here's a ceremony photo with the missing GM:

Tiggerificheidi had an unequal number of bridesmaids and groomsmen, and she just posted this in the Pic of the Day thread as one of her faves:

I had 2 BM and 1 GM. I don't remember them doing anything specific in regards to taking the pics. When they walked out the GM was very happy to escort them both out!

Thanks everyone,
It's not the walking in and out that I'm concerned with, or even really standing at the alter, it's more for the formal photos afterwards.
But after seeing everyone's photos, I'm not too concerned, it doesn't look as funny in the photos as it did in my head.

I'm glad I found this post because we are having the same issue.. 3 bridesmaids and 2 groomsmen. Thank you ladies for posting the pics.
