What order to walk down the isle...

If it was me I think I’d have the 4 flower girls, then the 2 teenagers, then the 2 adult BM’s, then your son holding the sign and then you and your friend.

The only thing to think about is with the flower girls; how likely are they to get stage fright and bottle out on the day or are they fairly confident? If they are likely to get scared it may be better having them walk with an adult each so have a little bit more reassurance….

I would say exactly the same as the PP has said. My only slight concern would be the 2yo FG and that she will be confident enough to walk with the others. My niece (also 2) was FG recently and she was supposed to walk in with the other FGs but ended up having to be carried by one of the adult BMs.

I'm going with height order. It's more pleasing to me! :-)

The plan is to have my son/niece go down together followed by my daughter/nephew, followed by my grown up bridesmaid and then me.

This is highly likely to change though as my little ones are four and under and unlikely to stick to the plan

I'm thinking my grown up bridesmaid will just be able to go down after the littles and encourage them to walk!

I have 3 flower girls, 1 page boy and 2 BM's

2 of the flower girls are sisters aged 7 and 10 (and my OH's nieces) so they will go first to sprinkle petals.

The other flower girl will be 18 months and page boy 3 1/2 so they will each walk down with 1 of the bridesmaids (the 2 BM's are my sisters and FG and PB my cousins so they all know eachother anyway) - if on the day though the little ones arent having any of it thats fine!

Then me and my dad will follow last.

I dont think there is a right or wrong way - just do what you want to do and what makes you happy. x

The little one could be unpredictable. My daughter was 18 months at my brothers wedding. She burst into tears, ran down the aisle to me and sat on my knee for the service lol. She did look super cute on the photos tho and when she ran past the whole church went aaaaahhhhhhh lol.

Oh then she got fed up of photos and on a couple she's ripping her headdress off and throwing it on the floor. Also turned out cute.

Just go with the flow. X

Oh bless - if on the day they arent having any of it, i'll be fine with it but would be great if they did do it.

I am sure her and the PB will look super cute in their outfits and may need to bribe with some jelly sweets

The British tradition is for the bride to walk in front of the bridesmaids, whereas the American tradition is for the bride to enter last. I think a lot of people see weddings in American movies and emulate them. It allows the bride to have a big moment.

I would suggest having the four bridesmaids walk down the aisle one at a time (or in pairs if you prefer - two younger then two older), then have your son escort the two flower girls in case they get nervous. I've always seen the flower girls enter right before the bride as they are supposed to scatter the petals ahead of your entrance.
