I evened it up! DH had his parents and best man, I had my parents, 2 bridesmaids and an usher. The Usher evened up the boys and girls (although I would have had him anyway - he wasn't in loads of official photos, but did sit at the top table).
The best photo I have is with me and DH, the best man and 2 bridesmaids around the cars in front of the castle. It looks like it should be in a magazine, it came out that well! I never thought it looked odd because of an odd number.
I was in my best friends wedding many years ago now and she had three bridesmaids but her DH had just two groomsmen. The matron of honour and the best man were together in most photos while me and the other bridesmaid shared the groomsman, if that makes sense. When it came to the bridal waltz, I danced with the brides brother as I'd known him for years and he was all suited up so he looked the part.
I was an only bridesmaid in a wedding a few years ago and there were 2 groomsmen. It worked okay - the photographer had to be a bit more creative I think, but I love the photos from that wedding and think she did a fabulous job making them look even and balanced. As far as things like walking back up the aisle, I had a groomsmen on either side of me (thankfully it was a wide aisle). We all danced with our own partners for the bridal waltz rather than just the bridal party.
