What's your processional order?

My favorite uncle is escorting me down the aisle in my D’s wedding. At my other D’s wedding in July I was escorted by an usher.

My cousin /my mom's godson escorted her down the aisle. I let her decide who she would like to be escorted by.

Uhhh.. I think it went groomsmen, groom with his parents, bridesmaids, flower girls, me and my mom. I honestly have no clue where the ring bearer came in because I couldn't actually see the aisle, lol :/

I have asked my mom twice now and she always says "whoever you want me to walk with".

My uncle (mom's brother) is her only sibling so I thought it would be sweet and my uncle would say yes in a heartbeat! I also considered having a groomsman go down with her but I think she's enjoy her brother walking her instead.

I have seen it done before where the brides dad escorted the brides mom and then just circled back around to walk with the bride. It worked fine, if that’s what you’re thinking of doing.

Hi Future Mrs. KC! First off, are you having a religious or non-denomination wedding? There is typically a traditional processional order if you are having a religiously affiliated ceremony! Also, I think that it would be lovely to have another family member walk your mother down the aisle. In the WeddingWire article " The Wedding Processional Order, Explained' it states that typically the mother of the bride "can walk alone or be escorted by her son, son-in-law or another relative"! I hope this helps!

We are getting married in a Methodist Church so we are going to ask our Pastor if there is a particular order we should stick to and show him the one we have come up with using the DOC's sheet!

I think that's a great idea! I am interested to hear if what they say lines up with the WeddingWire Guide!

I’m having my stepbrothers escort the grandmothers, then my mother and fmil light the unity candle, then officiant and groom, groomsmen, then bridesman and bridesmaids, then me and my dad

We had

-Officiant

-Groom and groomsmen not ushering

-my grandparents

-my grandma with the 2 junior groomsmen

-husband's mom (she isn't married) and best man (groom's brother)

-my mom and my brother (groomsman)

-bridesmaids single file

-ring bearer

-2 flower girls

- me and my dad

We thought it made more sense for the bridesmaids and groomsmen not to walk down together because I felt like it symbolized being joined as a couple more when everyone walked alone to the front and together after we were married. It also solved the issue of escorting important people like the mom's

I don't think I'm including parents. Just because my dad will be walking with me, and my mom loathes attention and definitely wouldn't want to walk alone

Ours went like this:

- parents of the groom
- parents of the bride (my mom escorted by my dad, dad was supposed to seat and and come around for me, but forgot. Lol!)
- groom and groomsmen
- bridesmaids and moh (individually)
- me! (by myself)

View Quoted Comment Aww haha your dad was probably just so nervous!

We did
-officiant (who made an unplugged ceremony announcement)
-FOG and MOG
-MOB (no one escorted her, I have no brothers and we didn’t ask anyone to walk down with her. She was ok with it)
-Groomsmen
-Best Man
-Groom
-Bridesmaids
-MOH
-Dad and bride

I didn't want my dad walking my mom then having to come all the way back to walk me down the aisle, so mom walked alone. If you have a brother or uncle or nephew or someone she can walk down with, that’s an option!

We are doing...

Pastor, groom, grooms men enter from the side of the stage (??? is it called a stage at a church? idk)

Then FH grandparents, my grand parents, FH parents, and my mom and my brother in law.

Then it will be the bridesmaids, MOH, then finally myself with my father.

I chose to have my BIL walk my mother down. It makes the most sense for us. If you aisle isnt super long, then I think its fine to have your father escort your mother and then walk down the side to go back to escort you.

Also - we might not include grandparents in the processional. It is a really really long aisle and all but 1 are really limited in their mobility. They will probably all be seated ahead of time.

Our order is all over the place, but it works for us and will keep people guessing. LOL

We are just planning to have officiant walk up and kick the whole thing off. Then:

Groom and Best Man arrive by boat

Sister of groom (filling in for his mom, who is deceased), escorted by her son (a groomsman)

Mother of Bride escorted by my two oldest nephews (ushers)

My three MOH's (daughters of groom....one at a time)

Junior Bridesmaid (my niece)

Second Bridesmaid (also my niece)

Then the next two bridesmaids (SILs) escorted by their husbands (my brothers and also groomsmen)

Ring bearers (my twin 8 yo nephews)

Me and Dad

Ours is going:

FH's Grandmother/stepgrandfather escorted by FH's brother (usher)

FH's other grandmother escorted by his cousin (usher)

My grandmother escorted by my brother (usher)

He will then escort his mother and father

my brother will then escort my mother

then the groomsmen will come down the stairs and wait at the bottom

each bridesmaid will descend the stairs, meet up with her groomsmen and enter

no ring bearer or flower girl (the little turd told us no lol)

then my dad will enter and wait at the bottom of the stairs

then me and I will meet up with my dad and continue.

Do you have a close family member to escort your mom or a groomsman she feels close to? I would avoid having your dad do it personally. I'm glad mine will be waiting with me and keeping me calm lol

We did Groomsmen, Groom, Officiant, Parents, Flower girl and ring bearers, Bridesmaids, and then me & my son.

My oldest nephew escorted my mom down the aisle (my dad has passed).
