WP down the aisle

fluttaby32 · March 2012

How is everyone having their wedding party walk down the aisle? Are you pairing them up to walk down together or having the groomsmen standing up front with FI and having the BM walk down alone?

evenundomiel · March 2012

mine are walking down together. I've paired them by relationship and then height.

I am having the wedding party pair up and then walk down the aisle.

amandad18 · March 2012

I'm having FI, best man & officiant enter together.

Then my brother (and groomsman) will escort my mom down the aisle, and then go up front.

Then FIL's.

Then BM.

Then MOH.

Then me 'n pops ;p

Haven't really thought about how they'll get out- Probably BMan w/ MOH, and GM w/ BMaid. At that point I don't really care ;p

My bridesmaids are walking down the aisle alone. The groomsmen will be waiting in the front with FI.

I think you can do it however you want to, but we wanted my brother to walk my mom down the aisle, and he is also a GM, so it would be awkward if he had to circle around and walk down again. This way he can just stay in the front when he gets there and meet up with the rest of the guys. Everyone will recess in pairs after the ceremony.

I'm doing this. I've seen it done both ways, and think it comes down to personal preference. I like having the GM up front with the groom

caitlinc09 · March 2012

I'm thinking I want to do

Officiant and BM/GM stand up front

Grandpa escorts my mom and they sit

FI escorts his mom and she sits, he stands with guys/OR FILs walk down together. Haven't decided on this one yet

BMs and MOH walk down alone

I walk down with dad

For the recessional, I'm thinking I'll have best man escort two BMs back down the aisle, then GM and MOH walk back down

kimberlykh · March 2012

My FI will be in the front with his BM. Then the BM's will walk in with a gm. The last gm will walk in with my MOHs I have 2.

I'm having them walk in together

This, because we are uneven

mildlymailyn · March 2012

One of FI's best men is walking down alone, flowed by my brother (the other best man) who is escorting my mom, then FI is escorting his mom. The Bridesmaids, MOH, and my dad and I.

<div>This is what we are doing,</div>

We have a very "off balance" wedding party and therefore, ours makes no sense!

I've seen both ways and in my eyes there is really no right or wrong. Whatever your preference. I would ask you groom what he prefers, whether or not he wants his guys standing next to him right away...

sarnoon · March 2012

The church we're getting married in is very long and actually has a separation between the pews as a walk-way half way down---I'm having the groomsmen line up at the halfway point in the walkway so the bridesmaids will meet them half way and they'll go the rest of the way together.

mancila60 · March 2012

We have GM escorting moms with dads behind
FI will escort his mom then stand at the front with minister
GM and BM will walk together
Then me and my dad

Our aisles are stairs and I didn't want anyone to fall while walking so we wanted them to all walk together just in case.

This is a good idea. I was a BM in a wedding over the summer with stairs and wet grass that we had to walk on in heels, and they ended up having to recruit ushers to walk us in at the last minute because it would have been way too hard to not fall or walk really awkwardly. If you have anything that will be hard to walk on, I would definitely have everyone enter in pairs.

Soon2bStaff · March 2012

We are having FI walk in both parents, then standing there with the pastor. Then GM & BM (I have four sets) will walk down then my dad and I.

bpphoto785 · March 2012

FI, his GM & the officiant will come in from one entrance and stand up front. Then FMIL/FFIL, My mom (escorted by my brothers), BMs, MOH, Dad & I will enter from a different entrance. FI's wanted his GM standing up with him before the ceremony. BM/GM will pair off during the recessional.

toothpastechica · March 2012

Bridesmaids and groomsmen together, then flowergirl with jr bridesmaid (or before jr bridesmaid, depends on the moods the day of), then me and my parents.

Lyra1020 · March 2012

Here's what we're doing:
Officiant
BM and GM, together (by height)
FI with his parents
me with my parents
