What order are you and your BMs walking down the aisle in?

claireo1981, 27 of February of 2016 at 09:15 Posted on Planning 0 13

Just wondering what everyone else is doing about this? I'm having a maid of honour and 4 flower girls (2, 3, 6 and 9) and really can't decide what the best order is? The 2 year old is a law unto herself and there's no guarantee she'll do what she's supposed to do anyway!

    I went first, then my 9 and 12 year old bridesmaids and then my 2 adult bridesmaids.

    My 3 adult bridesmaids are going down before me, one by one. I think anything goes these days so whatever you think will run most smoothly!

    I will have my four adult bridesmaids and flower girl going first then me. I think all eyes should be on the bride so best for the bride to enter last! Plus it means that everyone can get into their places in time rather than the bride waiting there whilst her bridesmaids walk down the aisle! But any order you want will be fine. X

    So bridesmaids going first seems to be the most popular option. Despite this I'm thinking about going against the grain and having me first, then flower girls 2 x 2, then MOH. We're hoping to get married outside so H2B will be waiting at the top of the aisle then we have to walk up to the Summerhouse together, so while we're doing that, the others would still be walking, if that makes sense?!

    Usually the BM's enter in pairs in size order, eg 2 x youngest, 2 x next biggest etc.

    The bride enters last. It doesn't really matter though, you can do what you like.

    If you're worried about your smaller flower girls, maybe they could come in with the older ones, i.e. the 2yo holds hands with the 9yo.

    My one adult bridesmaid will be going first to warm up the crowd.

    The venue owner will be with me and Dad just outside the marquee and she will arrange my dress as I step into position.

    I only have 3 adult bridesmaids and 1 adult bridesman. So I'll be going last, also. If you're worried about the order what's your entrance music?

    I only ask because I'm having "here comes the bride" so to have that then this list of other people doesn't really seem right somehow. So have a think on your music too. Nice classical music it shouldn't matter at all.

    Just think what you're having music wise, and see how that ties in, and what order when you close your eyes how you visualise it. Luckily there is no wrong answer. Just what you want.

    Im having my bridesmaids go in first. They will all walk individualy except for my neice (12) who will walk in with her sister who is a flower girl (4). I think thr 4 yr old will be too overwhelmed to walk by herself.
