In this episode, we’re shaking up the traditional bridal party and diving into the 2025 trend of downsizing! We’re talking about how couples are opting for smaller, more intimate crews, and why it’s the perfect way to keep things stress-free and focused on the people who really matter. But just because your bridal party is smaller, doesn’t mean you can’t still include all your closest friends in the celebration! We’ve got ideas for how to give your besties important roles without the pressure of being in the official lineup—think creative ways to involve them in the ceremony, reception, and everything in between. Plus, we’ve got the lowdown on how to be an amazing bridesmaid (even if you’re not part of the “core crew”), with tips on being supportive, organized, and ready to party. If you’re into keeping things personal, fun, and stress-free, this episode is for you!
