So one of our groomsman dropped out one week away from the wedding, whats the processional order?

Either way would work. You could either have the last 3 work together, or maybe the first/last girl one walks by themselves.

I’ve seen where a party is uneven one groomsmen walks down with two bridesmaids. Could have your last pairing walk down as three, or could have them all walk individual. I would say if you have a large party pair them up, if it’s smaller have them individual.

There's going to be five bridesmaids, and four groomsmen, do you this would be okay when it comes to walking seperately?

I’ve seen it done both ways (pre-Covid, just different numbers of each side). I’d recommend 2 bridesmaids with 1 groomsman, it looks less like there is a lonely bridesmaid (make sure your aisle is wide enough). But either way is perfectly normal 🙂

I was actually MOH in a wedding that had uneven amounts! so there were 4 of us girls and then there were 5 groomsmen. so what they did, was had me walk out first by myself and then everyone else was paired.

I would just have them walk in pairs, then the last to walk come in as three!

I feel like 9 people walking down by themselves would take awhile, no?

you could do:

MOH + BM

Bridesmaid + Groomsman

Bridesmaid + Groomsman

Bridesmaid + Groomsman + Bridesmaid

- OR -

MOH

BM

Bridesmaid

Groomsman

Bridesmaid

Groomsman

Bridesmaid

Groomsman

Bridesmaid

I feel like it might be lonely/awkward to walk alone. Ask your bridal party if they would be okay walking alone or the last pair walking as a trio.

Having that many walk down separately would take to long. Have one person walk down, not paired off. Or start all groomsmen standing beside the groom, having entered from a side aisle before the processional music starts, after mothers are seated. So only MOH, Bridesmaids and child attendants come down the
aisle. More than half of weddings do not have the men walk down the aisle at all. They start down fromt with the groom, particularly when there is a big bridal party. They only walk back up the aisle at the end, and either 2 bm walk together then a GM behind them, or after the last pair, a single bridesmaid.

I would just have one of the other groomsmen walk with two bridesmaids. One of our friends did this for his wedding. His brother got food poisoning the night before the wedding and couldn't attend. It looked fine. The other would be to have the men stand at the front with your fiancé and have the bridesmaids walk alone.

View Quoted Comment I like this suggestion! Nothing wrong with this

Anything goes! You can have a bridesmaid walk with 2 groomsmen, have them all walk individually but alternate (girl, boy, girl, boy etc) or have the guys up there with your groom & your bridesmaids walk alone.

As many have suggested before, have one of the groomsmen walk with two bridesmaids. That's my backup plan, because I have one groomsmen I am worried won't make it.
