Bridal party entrance during processional

darkoa1

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.

I am planning on have the Best Woman walk down the aisle, then the Groom, then my bridesmaids, then myself. It's a small wedding party and it's outside, so there's not really anywhere for my FI and his best lady to hide before hand. 

I think if you're having a really large party, it might be better to pair them off.

It really depends how many people you have in your wedding party and how dramatic of an entrance if you want.  But for peets sake, if you have over 4 people on each side, please please please pair them up!  No one wants to sit there while 10-12 people slowly walk down the aisle one by one.  So if you have more than 3-4 people on each side, I'd vote for either two-by-two, or two-by-two with the best man by the groom and the MOH walking in by herself.  Really, either of those will work nicely!

Our groomsmen and man of honor escorted our mom's and grandmothers and then just stood in their pews. Then the bridesmaids and maids of honor followed one by one.

This is what we did.

We're planning to have the groomsmen coming in about 5 minutes before the ceremony starts, then ushers ( we have 2 ushers not officially "groosmen" - my teenage cousins) will seat the mothers. Then we'll do the bridesmaids/MOH one by one, flower girl, ring bearers than me and my dad. We have 6 BM/MOH, this seemed like the best way to go about the entrances!

I have six on each side (this includes the best man/MOH). Thanks for the suggestions guys!!
