The important thing is that you have people who YOU want - because as a girl on her wedding day, you will want to be surrounded by love and laughter - you will remember that time for the rest of your life. Don't worry about what your Mum will say - the most important thing is that YOU are happy because it's your memories.
This shouldn't be a stressful thing - go with your instincts.
ETA: One of my favourite parts of my wedding was the day of (our wedding was at sunset/night). I had my Mum, Auntie, two best friends and my SIL. We had a hairdresser/makeup artist spend the whole day with us, the hotel bought us cheese platters and sandwiches and just before the wedding we all had ****tails before we got dressed. We listened to music and we danced and sang and laughed. That is my memory. My MIL wanted me to have DH's brother's wife in my bridal party and I barely knew her - I flat out said no. And I am so glad I did because it wouldn't have been the same that day. I knew these women better than I know anyone and that is what made my day.
So don't choose someone just to please them or your Mum - choose because they are special to you and you want them to make your day memorable.
