Bridal Party Entrance during processional

Hello,

I've been thinking more and more about this lately as the big day draws closer! How should the bridal party and groomsmen walk in? Should they walk in together or separately. Also please give me an idea of how the bridesmaids, groomsmen, MOH, FG, groom, parents should be ordered. Basically who comes first, second ect... 

I've seen the traditional way but I am looking for different ideas to incorporate into my wedding.

Re: Bridal Party Entrance during processional

  • Whether you want all the groomsmen and Bestman standing up with your Fi is up to you or your FI or you can have the men walk your BMs and MOH down the aisle.
    Typically the grooms parents are seated first and then a usher escorts the Brides mother (if she isn't walking you down) to her seat and sometimes the grandparents as well.  Then it;s the WP, so BMs and GM and then the BestMan and MOH, afterwards it's the Ring Bearer and then the Flowergirl and then the bride and her father (and mother if your going this route)

  • What madisonpenny said.

    I'll probably have the GM already standing up front with FI... I think that will make him way more comfortable.

    I'm having my SIL who is also a BM walk the 2 ring bearers (her 2 kids) down the aisle, so she and them will walk in right before me.  My mom will be walking me down the aisle.

  • It'll be just FI and I.  I was thinking of just walking up to the pavilion where everyone is mingling and saying, "HEEEY!" then raise my arms.

    LOL, I don' t know!  It won't be very formal since it's just the two of us!
  • We haven't quite thought about this but we've always assumed that the groomsmen will walk the bridesmaids down the aisle and then part ways once they reach the altar.

    Not sure if the best man/MOH are supposed to go first or last???

    I'm picturing this: bridesmaids/groomsmen walk together, best man/MOH walk together, ring bearer/flower girl walk together (our flower girl will only be 15 months old so she may be pulled in a wagon by the ring bearer), and then me and my dad??

    Or are the moms supposed to go after the wedding party, but before the bride?

  • I am going to have the GM's walk with the BM's we have a total of 13 and to wait for all of them to go down will be painful for me haha.  I think I will have groom's parents walk down, then my mom will walk with my cousin (one of the GM), then maybe the grandparents (not sure need to talk to them), then BM's/GM's with the MOH/Best Man at the end before the ring bearer and flower girl.  Then me with my dad. :)

  • It will only be FI, me & the officiant on stage...The WP will be sitting in the front rows of the theatre...We're having FI's parents walk down, then my brother is walking my mom down, then he'll stroll back up after he sits her down...Then FI & officiant will go...then we're pairing the WP up, the FG my two MOH's then me and my dad's!

     I think any way you want to do it is fine though.  We are having a beach wedding so I am thinking about having Matron of Honor, Best Man, and Groom walk down right before I walk down with my dad.

    ETA:  Like I said before any way you want to do it is fine, but tradtionally the bridesmaids come in first then the maid of honor, then the flowergirl.  At least that is how it was at my best friend's wedding a few years ago.
