Order of entry/procession for bridal party??

rachb3, 25 September, 2011 at 20:35 Posted on Planning 0 17

Hi, just wondered what order you all have planned for your bridal party to walk down the aisle in? I have a flower girl, four adult bridesmaids and another little bridesmaid (that may need to be carried!) as well as a paige boy/ring bearer (that is likely to launch his ring cushion into the crowd!) and of course my dad and I. I don't know whether to go with the traditional order or not....? x

    We are having 3 adult bridesmaids and ushers walk down, then a 3 year old flower girl, then my dad and I.

    This has been the source of lots of conversations in our families, but as I keep saying it's happening as thats what we want!

    We are having 4 bridesmaids and a flower girl, I think we are going to have the bridesmaids go first with my sister (cbm) holding my flower girls hand as she will probably be just walking (if at all), followed by my dad and I.

    It's up to you and what you want, really. More people seem to be going for bridesmaids first, but for me that just didn't feel right. So I went first with my Dad, and they followed single file (3 of them, all adults).

    One thing I would say is that I would check how wide your aisle is if they'll be walking down in pairs. Ours was quite narrow, which was fine for Dad and me as we were linking arms, but people generally like a little more space if they're not linking arms, and that wouldn't have been possible at our venue.

    I'm having a 5yr old page boy and a 10yr old bridesmaid. The page boy won't want to walk down the ailse, I have already made my peace with this. He'll look cute in the photos! And the bridesmaid will be walking down with me and my dad. She's my god-daughter and won't want to walk on her own. It's your wedding, do things the way you want ?

    Thats a good point, I'll phone tomorrow and ask them to leave enough space when laying out the chairs!

    Thanks

    Are you having a civil ceremony or church? Some churches insist the bride goes first, but you can choose with a civil ceremony. I'm having my BMs go first because otherwise they'd be left standing in the door way because the 'aisle' is very short at my venue.

    I *think* our order will be as follows

    Flowergirl 1 and 2

    Flowergirl 3 and 4

    CBM and Page Boy

    2 X adult bridesmaids

    Me and my little boy (he is giving me away)

    Altho I am tempted to have the adult bridesmaids to go first so that the children have someone to "go to" when then get to the end?
