Aisle entrances

Hey everyone We have 5 bridesmaids & 5 groomsmen would it be better if they walked together or have the groomsmen usher them? Also what is everyone thoughts on MOB and MOG walking down the aisle? Who escorts them? Could they walk down together? Is that a thing 😂
My dad is walking me down the aisle so he will be with me at that time.

    I've seen it done both ways, where the groomsmen walk with the bridesmaids and where the groomsmen stand at the front of the aisle and the bridesmaids walk down themselves. I believe my FH wants his groomsmen up front with him, so my bridesmaids will be walking themselves down the aisle and the groomsmen will accompany them during the recessional. It's whichever way you prefer! I like when the groomsmen walk the bridesmaids down the aisle personally.

    You could have MOB and MOG walk down the aisle together, but what about FOG if he is around/alive? You could always have him walk both of them down. In my case, my parents are divorced so my mom is going to be walked down by her fiance and my FH's mom and dad will walk down together. But my original thought was to have my FH walk my mom down the aisle with him.

    It would be cute for the bridesmaids and groomsmen to walk down together. As for the MOG and MOB, they can totally walk together or separately. I've been to weddings where one did one or the other. There was one wedding where the MOB walked with the flower girl and ring bearer since the MOG walked down with her son. There was another wedding where the brother of the bride walked down with their mother, and the MOG walked down with her husband since the groom walked down by himself. Lastly, there was a wedding where both parents of the bride walked down with her, and both parents of the groom walked down with him. So, in all honesty it all depends on what you want, and what everyone is comfortable with.

    There are honestly a few ways to go about this. We have 5 on my side (MoH + 4 BMs) and 6 on FH's side (BM + 5 GMs). FH will walk his mom down the aisle (his dad won't be attending) and seat her before going to stand with the officiant. The best man will then walk my mom down and seat her. Then the BMs and GMs will pair up, with my MoH walking with a GM. During the recessional my MoH will walk back with the same GM as well as the best man. That's how it ends up working best for us logistically.

    Typically you'd have the bridesmaids and groomsmen pair up and walk together. If MoG and FoG are still together (or MoG has a boyfriend) they would usually walk down and take their seats together at the beginning without a bridal party escort. I honestly love the idea of MoG and MoB walking down together if they're open to that and MoG doesn't already have her own escort. It's a really nice display of the two families coming together and I think it's super sweet. We can give you advice and ideas until the cows come home, but at the end of the day it's your wedding and you can set it up how you want. You can always check out YouTube for wedding videos and see how other people have done it. Having those visuals can definitely help you narrow down what you actually want!

    The FOG is still alive I haven’t seen a lot of weddings where the FOG walked down the aisle lol I wasn’t thinking about that. My mom is divorced so I do have a stepdad. Wasn’t thinking about all the dads😅

    We have 6 Bridesmaids (1 MOH) and 7 groomsmen (2 best Men)

    I think we're going to have the groom walk in first, followed by the best men together, then the MOH and the rest of the groomsmen will walk in with a Bridesmaid

    FOG and MOG will walk in together and then my brother will be walking my mom down the aisle.

    I do LOVE the idea of MOG and MOB walking in together if they are also comfortable with it!

    I think I am going to have the groomsmen usher the "important" guest to their seats, and then they are going to come back and walk with the bridesmaids.

    It’s taken forever to get a 4th bridesmaid, so I have 4 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen
    I had to replace twice a bridesmaid for his long time best friend he calls his brother. Well they had baby together in April broke up in November. Then he found a girl that I really liked her. Within a month they were engaged so I had to ask her if she couldn’t be in the wedding which really messes up his daughter being a flower girl I apologize about the long post just need help I asked my step sister in law because I just love her I also asked my step niece who is 10 to be a junior bridesmaid their son who is 6 but idk if they have jr groomsmen because we were supposed to have his best friend daughter Izzy born a week after his sisters son so now what should I do

    I honestly just asked a girl I went to college with my sister and a few friends even if we haven’t seen each other in a minute. Are you asking what to do about finding more bridesmaids? Cause of that’s the case I would just ask girls that you knew/close to or you could just have the bridesmaids walk alone if your wanting a junior bridesmaid & can’t find a junior groomsmen.
