Unconventional attendants and last minute panic!

So here's the situation, like everyone, our wedding was affected by Covid. But groom's family is from the UK and subsequently can't attend. In addition to making out small ceremony even tinier, this means there is no best man. Attendants include my MOH, and his daughters, who we ultimately decided are too old to be flower girls (11 and 13), so they'll be Best Girls? Groomsgirls? and stand on his side. Their dresses match my MOH. So my question: what is this processional supposed to look like? Do they walk down the aisle ahead of the MOH? Or after? Should the be side by side or oldest first? Or youngest first? And finally, I didn't plan for them to have bouquets and don't really want them to. As Best Girls, should they have corsages? Pomanders? Boutonnieres? Something else? What do they do with their hands??? PLEASE HELP!

Every groomswoman I’ve seen in a wedding has had a bouquet. I guess this is personal preference but I don’t know why you wouldn’t get them bouquets, especially since they’re the only ones on his side and his daughters. As far as the procession, this part is really up to you and your FH. Sometimes groomspeople are already standing up at the altar and sometimes they process. They would typically process before the MOH but it doesn’t matter which of them goes first or if they walk together.

Relax & breath! There’s no right or wrong answer, it’s really up to you & your FH’s vision of what you want. Have fun with this!

There's really no set answer. The answer is, do whatever you two want! People do professionals a variety of different ways, and there is no set standard. I think the MOH generally comes right before the bride, but it isn't a big deal if that isn't the case. As far as flowers go, what do you want them to hold? Or they can hold nothing and just have their hands at their sides. Again, no set rules on this one.

I would do whatever it is you want. I know we had a groomswoman and bride's man. The groomswoman carried a bouquet just like the bridesmaids and the bride's man had a boutonniere just like the groomsmen. I've only ever seen corsages for the moms or grandparents. As for how you would walk in, normally the groom's side would either already be standing at the altar or would escort the bridesmaids down the aisle. In your case, I would probably have his daughters walk down first then your maid of honor.

Thanks to everyone for your input and perspective. I swear I've been totally relaxed and laid back up to this point so l guess I'm irrationally freaking out in the 11th hour! 😂
