Maid of Honor and Matron of Honor line up during the wedding

Jessica, on April 23, 2019 at 10:27 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 9
What is the correct way, if there is one, to have my girls line up beside me during the wedding ceremony when I have a matron of honor and also a maid of honor? I am only having a maid of honor and a matron of honor plus two Junior Bridesmaids which are my future husbands two daughters.

    It's really your personal preference. Most people I know have chosen the person they've known the longest to stand next to them in order to avoid any hurt feelings.

    I think it's best to put whoever you've known longer closest to you. But I feel you! I have two bridesmaids and for the life of me cannot choose between them since one is my sister and the other is my best friend. I've left them both as bridesmaids for now. Ugh!

    I had my maid of honor directly next to me followed by matron. But that’s just because we lined people up by height. I don’t think there’s a right or wrong.

    I have 2 matrons of honor that are my sisters. I am having my younger sister directly next to me mainly because her son will be our ring bearer and they will most likely be going down the aisle together as he will only be 18 months old. After that I am lining the other 3 according to the dress color they have because we decided alternating colors and some shades looked better on different skin tones

    It really is up to you- I was in a wedding with a similar line up. I was a Maid of Honor, while the Matron of Honor stood closest to the bride. She chose it to be this way because they had known each other longer and the bride was her MOH the year earlier.

    And there was no hard feelings, I had a blast!

    I have 2 BM’s right now cause I don’t want to name either one of them MOH because I’m afraid I’ll hurt their feelings. They were both in my 1st wedding and BM A (we will call her) has been my friend for 20+ yrs and BM B I have been friends with her for about 16yrs. But BM B thinks she should be first since BM A was my MOH the first time. I’m stuck and don’t wanna hurt any feelings.

    My mom is my matron of honor and my God-sister is my maid of honor. I'll have my mom stand next to me then my maid of honor. I'm not entirely sure how I'll arrange my 3 bridesmaids.

    I think everyone understands putting the maid/matron of honor first in line next to you without any hurt feelings but I am having the rest of mine line up by height bc I don’t want to put them “in order” and then to think that’s how much they mean to me lol
