Anyone else have a Bridesman?

I'm having two bridesmen. They are my brothers and I couldn't see them standing anywhere else other than next to me on my wedding day. We are have having them match the groomsmen's attire. Same tie same boutonniere.

We haven't figured out the organization of the processional yet, but I think I'm just going to have them walk alone like the bridesmaids down the aisle and then they can walk up in pairs following the ceremony. They don't have to link arms with any of the groomsmen haha.

I have two bridesmen. They are wearing the same suit as the groomsmen, they're just standing with me.

I have a Man of Honor! It's my brother. I think he'll be in the same suit as the other guys but maybe a different tie color. I haven't worked out the details yet because haven't officially decided on colors.

That's a really sweet idea! Some of those things I would just ask him his preference...like, would he want to wear the same suit as the groomsmen, or would he rather wear something a little different? Maybe a different colored tie or different boutonniere. My FH is having a groomswoman, and that's how we handled things with her. We just asked what kind of flowers she would like, and she ended up being most comfortable wearing a dress in the same color the groomsmens' suits are going to be.

For the processional, most of the weddings I've attended the members of the bridal party usually walk down the aisle alone while the groomsmen are already standing at the front with the groom. For the recessional, bridesmaids are often paired with groomsmen, so you might just have to see what your wedding party is most comfortable with. You could have everyone walk out alone, or still have the girls be paired up with the guys and then have the bridesman and the last groomsman walk alone if they don't want to walk together for some reason lol.

I was in a wedding with a bridesman (bride's brother) - I was MOH, and he was the other other attendant for the bride. When the wedding was over, he and I walked up the aisle together, and then the two groomsmen (his two brothers) walked up next to each other. No weirdness, nothing uncomfortable. It was actually awesome for everyone - and her parents loved having her brother included on her side.

ETA: he wore a suit - every male in the bridal party got a new suit - they all NEEDED new suits so it was a good excuse

I have a man of honor and FH has a groomswoman. We are having all the girls wear long purple dresses and all the guys wearing the same as eachother. I also have a bridesmaid that wasn't comfortable wearing a dress so she is wearing a suit like the guys but a purple shirt instead of blue. I considered having everyone on my side wear purple and everyone on his side wear blue. In the end it doesn't make a difference. These are the people we want standing with us.

I have a weird processional. I wanted my mom to walk with my dad and I down the aisle but she declined. She basically said she didn't want to take away from the moment which is ridiculous. It's her choice, however. So my man of honor is walking my mom down the aisle right before I walk. He offered and I thought that was incredibly sweet. I think everyone will walk down alone besides those two and FBIL and FSIL. (BM and groomswoman)

The only other thing I did was let my MOH wear a jacket. The rest are wearing vests and suit pants. I figured since maid of honors often get a special dress that he can have a special outfit too. Plus he really wanted to wear a three piece suit.

Yep- here's mine! He'll be wearing a dress shirt and tie to match the bridesmaid dresses. FH also has a "best woman".

My brother is going to be a bridesman. He's going to wear the same thing as the groomsmen but maybe a different bout, and he's going to walk the ring bearers (his sons) down the aisle.

My son is an usher and will walk my mother down the aisle. I told FH I refuse to call him a groomsman because he's MY boy.

(Seriously, that sounded funnier and a lot less creepy IRL.)

My FH is having a groom's lady. Is his best friend from college.

My brother is my Man of Honor and my FH is having a grooms lady. Everyone will be wearing gray and my side will have accents of one color and my FH's side will have accents of a different color. As far as the processional, the bridal party will walk down the aisle alone and FH's party will come from the side. For the recessional, my Man of Honor will walk up the aisle with my (soon to be) step-son. This won't be weird as my step-son is 13 and obviously knows my brother very well, in fact the thought relaxes my step-son (because he doesn't want to walk up the aisle with a girl because obviously girls have cooties). FH's grooms lady is walking up the aisle with one of my bridesmaids, but no big deal as FH's grooms lady is doing all the bridesmaid stuff with us prior to the wedding.

I'm having a man of honor. I'm not completely decided yet but I think he'll wear a suit the same color as the bridesmaid dresses. This might not work for you if your bridesmaids are in a color suits don't come in though

Here is a picture of my best friends wedding. She has a man of honor. The groom has a groomsgirl. The man of honor wore the same vest color as the our bridesmaids dresses. The groomsgirl wore the same color dress the the groomsmens vests. For the processional, brides side walked in alone. For the recessional, everyone was paired up. We are all a really close group of friends so no one cared who they were paired with. ETA: for some odd reason the groom isnt in the picture there was an odd number so both me and the groomsgirl walked out with my FH

We arent having Bridesman but we are a "Groomsmaid". She is FH's coworker and it felt right to have her on his side.

She will be wearing the same length dress as the Bridesmaids but it will be black to go along with the guys suits.

I think he should have a shirt or tie to match the color of the bridesmaid dresses.

We have both females and males on each side. We also just wanted those we cared about most next to us, no matter their gender. Idea for walking down the isle- Pair him with the flower girl. It'd be super cute.

We are trying not to think of our party has "his side and her side." We have a party of males and females that we love, who are either truly friends of us both, or really only friends of one of us, and because one of us loves that person, that person is important to both of us. It makes things a tad weird, in that two of the bridesmaids are women I have never met (good friends of FH who live in different states). But I honestly wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm choosing the ladies' attire, and FH is choosing the men's attire. All of the ladies, whether they were my friends or his friends before we got together, will be wearing long, emerald green dresses of their choosing.

We are going to have everyone stand guy, girl, guy, girl, rather than placing all of the bride's party on one side and all of the groom's party on the other.

This may be an unpopular viewpoint, as I haven't run it by WW yet. But that's how we've chosen to handle the bridal party, given that we both have close friends of both genders.
