Wedding processional

How is your bridal party walking down the aisle? Are the bridesmaids and groomsmen walking together or separately.

Our BMs & GMs walked together. Best Man & MOH both walked down alone.

They are walking together

My 7 BM are walking with my 7 GM. The 2 BM and Jr Groom will all walk out with the pastor and the my Maid and matron will walk alone. Then when the wedding is over the 2 BM will each walk with the maid and matron so everyone is coupled up on the way out.

BM will walk alone in.  The GM will come out just before the BM.  FI will come out with the Pastor.  On the way out the BM and GM will couple up and walk out together.  I'm still working it out in my head but I know I want just the BM to walk in alone.

3 bm, 3 bestmen, 2 gm and 1 fg....


I have no MOH so all 3 girls will walk down seperate. The 3 bestmen will come in with the groom and the remaining 2 gm will walk solo down.

Mined walked down together. The guys escorted the girls to their spots then went to theirs.

The officiant, groom and best man will walk out and take their places first.  If I had more attendants, the other groomsmen would come out together in a line and walk to the altar and line up next to the groom and best man.  Bridesmaids would then follow individually with the MOH being the last attendant to walk in before the bride. (no FG or RB for me)  

I also think it makes sense to have the BM fill in from the furthest away from the altar and then additional attendants will fill in from there.  At the end of the wedding, the attendants couple and walk out together.  @DJCat: Hope this helps.

<div>I like this. I like them entering separately. Don't know if it will go over well with our very traditional families. I never seen it done at a wedding before so hopefully my planner has. </div>

Everyone one walk separately.  Pastor, Groom and Bestman will walk in first. a bridesmaid will walk in and then groomsman will walk in.  I have a jr. maid and jr groomsman and they will walk together.

@chescam: it looks really nice. It isn't a huge time drain either.  Once people see it actually unfolding, even the most traditional will love it.
