Stassi Schroederis getting real about herwedding plans.
“I never wanted to have bridesmaids. 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 began. “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.”
She continued, “When I told my friends that I didn’t want to have bridesmaids, though, they were livid. They were like, “Abso-f—ing-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.”

While she eventually settled on havingnine bridesmaidsin her wedding party, Schroeder said that the decision “became a situation” among some friends who weren’t selected for the honor.
“It was hard to narrow down to just nine! I had to limit it to people who are a big part of my life right now, as well as Beau’s,” she wrote. “So my bridesmaids need to be people who’ve been around us as a couple. The friends who will continue to be in our lives after we’re married.”
“There’s been some drama around who I asked to be a bridesmaid…or rather, who Ididn’task. I found out that a few people were talking s— 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,” she shared. “Everyone’s allowed to feel salty. Everyone’s allowed to talk a little s—. Just make sure I don’t find out about it.”
According to the Bravo star, her bridal party now includes her sister, Clark’s sister, “some old friends” and afew castmates.
However, that’s not to say she will continue to adhere to conventional wedding traditions.

In the guest column, Schroeder also said that she doesn’t want anelaborate partybefore her big day.
Schroeder added that she wants her bridesmaids towear different dressesat the ceremony, explaining, “Everyone has different body types, so it’s important to me that my friends can pick out something they want…as long as it’s in the same color, of course. (I want mine to wear white or ivory, very streamlined. Like a Ralph Lauren ad.)”
