in uk they traditionally walk behind you.
But we are starting to adopt the us tradition more and more, where they walk in front of you.
I want them to walk in front of me, so im the last one down. But my gran, minister etc all say that is the wrong way.I guess ill need to wait and see

Sadly, I don't think my eldest two children will be at my wedding. I wanted my son to give us away. At the moment I am thinking that Jenny and I will walk down the aisle together which I think will be fitting as our family is mostly me, my daughter and my h2b.

My reverand was a little annoyed I picked bridesmaids first but I stuck to my guns. She asked me why and I said just because that's the way I want to do it. I love doing things back to front really. Just to be a pain in the bum plus I'm walking on my own so atleast I'm not the first to walk in. Takes the pressure of me a little but then.

I think my flowergirls will go first, to sprinkle thier peatals, then bm, cheif bm, then mum and I. I personally think that people will be able to appreciate everyone in the birdal party!

It depends on the ceremony.
Church ceremonies traditionally the bridesmaids follow the bride down the aisle because the bride has to turn to give her bouquet to her maid of honour to hold during the ceremony and vows.
More modern ceremonies like Prince William's, the bride goes down the aisle after the bridesmaids when they are at the front of the room so that her entrance is grander. A lot of civil ceremonies do this also as it allows the bridesmaids to take their places at the front so the bride can join her fiance before the registrar without her bridesmaids pushing past her to take their seats.
Hope this helps xxx

Mine are going before me
Flowergirl
Bridesmaid 1
Bridesmaid 2
MoH
MeI don't know whether to have my brother-in-law2b walking down with my MoH or the flowergirl.
MoH- I think of her as my sister, so it would be fitting for h2b's brother to walk with her
Flowergirl- she's his half sister and might be nervous walking down first on her own. Or might just veer off and do her own thing, since she's only a toddler.Also h2b's brother isn't a groomsmen as we didn't think he was able to come until recently, but we want him to be part of the day, since he's not part of the bridal party (if he becomes a groomsmen, my sisters will pitch fits because I don't want them as bridesmaids)

I think I might send the bridesmaids first so that they get some attention. Without sounding like a diva, I don't want everyone to be looking at me and ignoring them if they're behind me (I'm spending enough on them so people can flippin' well have a good look at them, lol) x

tbh haven't decided yet...
probably the 2pageboys first they wont understand each other though as one is my godson from germany the other my nephew2b both will be 5/ 5and a half by than... wanting a flowergirl but no little girls in the family so after that is 1bm sil2b than i guess me dont know if my dad or mum is walking with me... might ask my uncle to walk me down as i'm not as close to my dad and dont really wanna upset mum if i walk with dad nor dad if i walk with mum so i guess either walking alone or maybe my lovely uncle... after myself i guess i need my moh as she can look after my train / dress etc... but of course depending on the dress might be she is walking before myself :)

Mine went before me so it went
Bridesmaid

MOH and flower girl
Me and dadThat way everyone gets to see the bridesmaids before you make your big entrance and also they could file to the side out of the way as soon as they got to the front instead of having to climb round me to get out of the way!

I dont know yet how this would work. I deally it would be flower girl, 2 bm and my bridemaster then me and my dad. Realistically though i am thinking my fg is only young and may not errrr cooperate with my plans lol. I would have her walking down with my bridemaster but that would mean either he would have to go before the bms or the fg would have to go after the bms, which doesnt really fit.
I may send all 3 girls in together, one either side of the little fg. Then the bridemaster behind them and then me and my dad...... arg i dunno.CommentAuthor
