Bridesmaids walk 1st ???

kellouloud, 5 July, 2013 at 07:33 Posted on Planning 0 27

8 days to go we're on the finer details !

Are u walking 1st and bridesmaids after you , or was thinking I might go with flower girl and youngest BM, then 2 older ones then Me and dad ?

H2B has shingles but I'm trying not to stress about that !! 5 antibiotics a day from doc should get him right !!

    My daughter had the flower girl first (her daughter) scattering petals, then the two bridesmaids...... then the song changed and she walked down the isle.

    I provide music for ceremonies and it really is personal preference..... I've done it in all different ways and it comes down to whatever suits you.

    I'm hoping to have flower girl and page boy walk down the aisle followed by me and then Bms behind me. All depends if they will walk down alone (will be 6 and 4 at the time). Thinking of bribing them with sweets at the end of the aisle!!

    If it is shingles, antibiotics won't do anything - he needs antivirals like aciclovir. Is that what you meant?

    Anyway, I went down the aisle first with my BMs following, but this seems to be becoming less common judging by similar threads on here.

    I always thought the procession was brides maids and grooms men followed by the flower girl and page boy and then the bride and dad

    I had my bridesmaids walk first. 2 readons: 1. I wanted people to look at them and appreciate them. 2. I was selfish and wanted all eyes on my when I walked down the aisle, not people looking back at my bridesmaids. It was *my* moment ?

    I am having my mum, then my 3 flowergirls (who knows how that will turn out as they are 1, 1 & 3years old) then my bridesmaids and then me and my dad.

    Same reasons as above really i want everyone to see how lovely my mum / flower girls & bridesmaids look and also its a kind of build up to my grand entrance.

    Shingles is caused by a virus, so antibiotics aren't an obvious drug (unless his blisters are infected?).

    ETA: Sorry Helenia, didn't see your response to ^^^

    I am having flower girl, them 2 lots of BMs paired up, then MOH then me and my dad.

    Apparently its the American way to have the BMs first but I prefer it. I went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago and the bride went first with BMs behind and I personally did notnotice the BMs as I was watching the bride. Plus I think its nice if they go first that they will be able to watch me walk down the aisle xx

    This!

    Summer walked down the aisle first and got the entire congregation blubbing! 15yo followed once littlelegs was almost at the end, then 19yo did the same. They each git their special moment, richly deserved because they are bloody fantastic daughters lol!

    Dad and I stood at the back then walked once the music changed.

    Just a word if warning though, Kelly..... I hadn't expected to hear the Bms music as I thought we would be behind the church doors... Wrong!!! Dad and I burst into tears as soon as the girls music started! It gets us every time, so I wish I had had a bit of warning- my OH and FIL thought Dad was half cut as I was having to support him, he was so emotional lol!! Xx

    My sister is being a bridesmaid so I really want my brother to be part of the bridal party too; he'll be around 18 so too old to be a little page boy and carry the rings, so I think ours will go -

    Brother accompanies Mom to the front and sits down with her

    Two bridesmaids

    MOH (my sister)

    Dad and me Smiley smile

    I want the bridesmaids to go first.... all eyes on me ?

    Im having my two aunties and uncle and an usher walk my mum down the aisle first. Once they're seated it'll be the bridal march then will appear 2 baby BMS, when they get to the bottom the next 2 baby BMS, when they get to the bottom a baby BM and MOH then when they hit the bottom they'll be followed by 2 adult BM's then me and dad. I want them to walk in two's so everyone can appreciate them. If I send all 8 at once it'll be like "oo,ah,oo,ah" really quick look at everyone so I want everyone to be adored and feel special. One bridesmaid is only 18 months so not sure how far she will get before she decides that either a) she doesnt like the petals in her basket anymore or b) it'd be much more fun to run back up the aisle! Ha, luckily her dads an usher and will be bribing her down the aisle with sweets or anything she wants! xxx

    I am hoping to have my mum walk down the aisle with our children as they will be flower girl and page boy and they'll only be 5 and 4 at the time so I think it might be daunting for them walking down themselves, this means, everyone can se how lovely my mum looks and how adorable my little bambinos are!! Then it will be my 3 BM's one after they other, OH not sure if he is having groomsmen aswell as a best man, so they might walk down alone or paired with groomsmen. Then ALL EYES ON ME as I walk down the aisle with dad. I want us all to get a few seconds in the spotlight as we enter but most certainly ending with everyone's final gaze on me!!!

    Hope your H2B is better asap!!

    xx

    Hello all,

    I get married in just under 3 weeks and now having a little panic about music! I want my flower girl and adult bm to walk first then another 2 adult bms and get to the end of the aisle when I will start. What music did others have for bridesmaids walking down the aisle. I had previously imagined that they would have the bridal march the same as me, but would get restarted once I was ready to float down the aisle? Now I'm panicking a bit that this wont work and if Im going to have another piece of music - what to have and should it be in the order of service!??

    Thanks in advance for any advice

    Kate

    I want to walk last, purely so my BM, FG's and PB can be appreciated as thy have a big part in the day and I don't want them not to be seen. However, the vicar is being very strict about a few things. We've only seen him once (seeing him again next week so hoping to persuade him otherwise!) he said in his church the bride goes first followed by the others...end of conversation! Any idea how o broach the subject and get him to change his mind?! Also, we really want it videod an, again h was very blunt with no. I understand there is a licence they need for the church, any idea how I can get one, persuade him that it's very important to us! Thanks!

    I am having my 4 bridesmaids in twos then my MOH last on her own followed by me and my dad. I want people to pay attention to the bridesmaids and also there isn't much room at the top of the aisle and they would struggle to get past my train to sit down.

    I haven't given this much thought, but I assume it'll be my little boy (page boy), then bridesmaid, then me & my dad. Only having one BM and no flower girls as we literally know no-one with little girls lol. Very simple. BM going first is the way I've always seen it.

    Our only spare usher escorted my MOH. Then 2 BMs together. Then me and my son who gave me away. It was insisted to me that everyone should be at their place on the stage before I set foot in the hall. Man, it was scary!! Smiley smile
