Stassi Schroeder initially didn't want bridesmaids at her wedding

"I love weddings, I love my friends, and I love being in my friends’ weddings, but I’ve always thought that having bridesmaids means more stress for the bride, she wrote. "So when I got engaged to my fiancé, Beau, I thought, Why add extra work for myself? My friends will be at my wedding no matter what."

However, Schroeder's friends were not happy with her decision: "When I told my friends that I didn’t want to have bridesmaids, though, they were livid. They were like, 'Abso-fucking-lutely not. We love you, and this means more to us than it does to you. If you don’t do bridesmaids, we’re going to kill you.'"

Eventually, Schroeder caved and chose nine bridesmaids, including her sister, Clark's sister, "some old friends" and a few castmates.

She eventually chose nine bridesmaids

Stassi Schroeder initially didn't want bridesmaids at her wedding. However, she eventually chose nine bridesmaids, including her sister, her fiancé Beau Clark's sister, some old friends, and a few castmates. She wanted to limit her bridal party to people who were a significant part of her and Beau's lives and would continue to be so after they were married.

Stassi faced backlash from friends who weren't selected to be bridesmaids, and she admitted that narrowing down her choices to just nine people was challenging. She also revealed that she didn't want her bridesmaids to wear matching dresses, preferring for them to choose their own outfits in the same colour.

The bridesmaids will wear white or ivory

Stassi Schroeder, the reality TV star of Vanderpump Rules fame, initially did not want bridesmaids at her wedding. However, she eventually chose nine bridesmaids to be part of her bridal party. Schroeder wanted her bridesmaids to wear white or ivory dresses, and she wanted the overall aesthetic to be "very streamlined" and to "look like a Ralph Lauren ad." She also wanted her bridesmaids to wear different dresses, explaining, "Everyone has different body types, so it's important to me that my friends can pick out something they want."

Schroeder's bridal party included her sister, her fiancé Beau Clark's sister, some old friends, and a few castmates from Vanderpump Rules. While she did not specify which castmates she chose, Schroeder had previously served as a bridesmaid for her costars Katie Maloney and Brittany Cartwright.

Schroeder's choice of bridesmaids caused some drama among her friends, with some expressing disappointment at not being chosen. She wrote in her Glamour column, "There's been some drama around who I asked to be a bridesmaid... or rather, who I didn't ask... I found out that a few people were talking st about it, so I was like, 'Okay, we need a break. I don't want to see you for a really long time.' It was frustrating."

Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute's friendship was on the rocks

> "My heart wants Kristen there. I am praying and hoping that we get to a good place where we understand each other," [...] "But I have no idea how this year will go. I have no idea if we'll be getting along. [...] And why would I invite someone who's angry with me to one of the most important days of my life?"

By May 2020, the two women were still not on good terms. Schroeder had nine bridesmaids at her wedding, including her sister, her fiancé's sister, some old friends, and a few castmates.

Schroeder and Clark's wedding was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic

The couple had chosen Italy for their wedding because it held a lot of meaning for them, and they wanted a smaller, more intimate celebration. Schroeder, who initially didn't want any bridesmaids, eventually chose nine of her closest friends and family members to be by her side. Unfortunately, the pandemic put their plans on hold, and they had to consider postponing their special day. Schroeder shared that she was "so easy-going" about the wedding details at that point and just wanted to get to Rome, even if it meant having a "ratchet wedding" with only a few guests.

Despite the uncertainty, Schroeder and Clark remained committed to their dream of getting married in Italy. In May 2020, they shared that they were "99 percent sure" their wedding would be delayed by a year and take place in October 2021. While they grappled with the challenges of the pandemic, they also received joyful news as they announced they were expecting their first child together in June 2020.
