Hi Madeline,
There are many ways to get around the uneven numbers. It kind of depends on the form of your wedding as well. If its a formal - will they have their partners there to balance out. Are there family involved in the Top Table. I have seen completely uneven numbers on the tables and to be honest the focus is so on the Bride/Groom and bits that really no one is really counting the numbers. Or are you having round tables?
The same really for the photos- some have the bridesmaids spread between the two side rather than all on one, or take them in such a way at the venue that you really dont notice. I have seen some stunning photos with Bride, Groom and 3 Groomsmen - no bridesmaids at all. . Again , talk to your photographer and see what they say as they may have other ideas and may know your venue well.
