In what order should my wedding party walk down the aisle?

I have:


me (bride), groom, 2 groomsmen, 2 bridesmaid, flower girl, ring bearer and jr. groomsman





The purpose of the jr. groomsman is to have him walk with the ringbearer because the ringbearer is only going to be about 20 months by the time my wedding comes.





I've seen some weddings were the groom and groomsmen are already at the head of the ceremony, I think I'm leaning towards that idea vs. the groomsmen walking with the bridesmaids.

In what order should my wedding party walk down the aisle?
I would do, have the groomsmen and bridesmaid walk in together. ring bearer with the Jr. groomsman then the flower girls so the flower will be down for you, then you. The groom waiting for you at the other side. Good luck.
Reply:Congratulations on your wedding! One thing to keep in mind is whether you want a traditional style or one that you and your fiancee` create. The focus of the wedding is supposed to be on the beautiful bride; which is why she normally enters in last. The bride's groom is awaiting her introduction into his life with the permitted vows that you both chose.





Depending on where you will be getting married, for example a church:





Imagine the two divided areas of a church, each having it's own isle of entrance. (2 side entrance isles and one center isle) While you and your groom are at the two opposite ends, the middle area provides for the entrance of your wedding party. As next to the last person enters...you and your groom are walking up the isle and then turn meeting each other at the alter.





Just a thought, but one I am sure you can work from and develop more ideas for your wonderful day! Enjoy and be safe...(smiles)
Reply:Usually the groom and groomsmen are, like you said, waiting at the front and do not walk down the aisle (well not formally). The order of walking would be the ring bearer and jr groomsman, then the flower girl (or you could swap those two around if you wish) then the bridesmaids, maid of honour (if you have one) and then yourself. That is the traditional order as far as I remember and have seen!
Reply:you can do whatever you want. you'll probably go over this during the rehearsal. your officiant might have an opinion on how it's done - I know my BFF wanted to do it one way and the priest said no. It doesn't make a difference how everyone walks in, so be vocal about how you want it done.
Reply:Well, at my older sister's wedding, we had the groomsmen each escort a bridesmaid down the aisle first, [the groom already at the front], then the ring bearer, then flowergirl, then the bride. Hope this helps! =]
