Brides who have hade a bridesman, how did you do the processional?

Maria, on April 13, 2020 at 8:14 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 8
One of my best friends is a guy and I am going to have him be a bridesman! However, I am unsure about how to do the processional. My FH and I are each going to have three people stand on our sides. He will be having all groomsmen, while I will be having two bridesmaids and a bridesman. I don’t want anyone to feel awkward. How did you, or will you, have everyone enter for the ceremony if you are in a similar situation? Thank you in advance!

    Maybe you can have him have the bridesmaids on each arm.

    How are you doing the processional? Are the groomsmen going to already be up front or are they walking in? If they are going to be up front with the groom already then you can just have everyone walk in separate and he can just walk out with one of the other guys. If you wanted to pair them off, he could walk in with another groomsman and it won’t be too weird. So many people have opposite sex members now that it’s not really weird anymore.

    What about having each girl walk up with two guys?


    I have 3 bridesmaids and 3 bridesmen. My fiancé has 3 groomsmen. For the processional, the groomsmen will be at the altar already, and my side will walk up in pairs. Then for the recessional, each girl will exit with 2 guys.

    Everyone walked in separately, and at the recessional it was one guy one girl and the best man (husbands brother) and my man of honor (my brother as well) just walked next to each other.


    They locked arms for their reception introduction 😁

    We have a bridesman, and honestly we are just having him walk with one of the groomsmen. I don't think anyone will think anything of it. They dont have to hold hands or anything, just walk next to each other.

    So i wanted him to walk with a groomsman but all of the groomsmen were being stupid aha so they kind of were not wanting to walk with him - not because they didn't like him but because they didn't want to "appear gay" which is such a dumb thing -.- anyway so i ended up having him walk with a bridesmaid and i had two groomsmen who were friends, walk together. for some reason walking with another male that was their friend was more comfortable than walking with my bridesman -- who is NOT gay.

    but anyway, as some of the PPs suggested, the bridesman can walk with the bridesmaids. OR i've also been to wedding parties where each side walks in individual instead of in pairs.

    We had mixed genders on both sides of our wedding party and just had everyone walk in individually.

    I have the same setup as you, brother is man of honor and two bridesmaids. My plan for processional is have groom and groomsmen walk up solo and line up. Then have bridesmaids and man of honor walk up solo and line up before my entrance. Then for recessional have everyone go solo (man of honor, best man, BM1, GM1, BM2, GM2). I’ve never liked the pairing up of BM and GM part of weddings, especially if they don’t know one another, plus we don’t have a lot of people so it’s fine for them all to go solo. So for the reception entrance the plan was for the DJ to announce the groomsmen first as a trio (and strike a fun Charlie’s angels pose or something) then the bridesman/maids as a trio with the man of honor escorting a BM on each arm.
