Ceremony Processional Order

100 Love Its 100 Comments Second Anniversary First Answer
in October 2014 Weddings
My coordinator wants to know this already... I have no clue what is traditional or what I want to do. Do you have your order figured out?

A few questions:
- I have a very small wedding party- one bridesmaid and one groomsmen. That's it. Should I have parents, grandparents, & siblings walk down the aisle just to make the processional a little longer? I think it would be nice to build up suspense for the moment the bride (ME!!!) finally comes down! Is that weird?

-Should groomsmen (only have 1)/groom/officiant walk down the aisle or just appear suddenly from the side? I'm leaning towards the groomsman & groom walking down the aisle because otherwise it would just be my one bridesmaid and then me. I think that is too short. I think I'll just have the officiant already be at the front. 

-Does Mother of the Bride need an escort? or does she walk by herself?

    I plan to have my grandparents, FI's mom and dad, and my mom walk down the aisle prior to the bridal party so I think this idea is weird at all!

    -Should groomsmen (only have 1)/groom/officiant walk down the aisle or just appear suddenly from the side?

    I think I'm going to have my FI and the groomsmen just come in from the side prior to the processional. But we also have a fairly large bridal party (6 on each side) and I don't really want the groomsmen and bridesmaids to walk down side by side either.

    -Does Mother of the Bride need an escort? or does she walk by herself?
     
    I don't think she NEEDS as escort, she can walk right? ;) With that said, my BIL will be escorting my mom down the aisle as part of the processional since my dad will be walking with me. Do you have anyone serving as an usher at your wedding? That person would be the person who would walk with your mom, or a single grandparent or uncle or whoever, or she could walk on her own if she wants.

    I don't have any ushers. 
    I guess my mom will be fine on her own.

    My groom is walking my mom down the aisle.  I was told by my WC that female "honor" attendants, including parents, grandparents, etc. should be escorted.  I'm sure it will be fine either way!

    Here's what my officiant gave me: officiant, groom, best man, groomsmen. All angle to see Bride’s entrance. Next, bridesmaids enter, maid of honor, ring bearer & flower girl. Bride’s mother stands to signal guests to stand for Bride’s entrance, or officiant instructs guests to stand. Bride enters on left side of her escort. As far as our venue, the men will not 'walk' down the aisle, the will enter from the side and just take their place. TK - I had paragraphs
