Bridesmen and groomsmen

Hey guys! I am having a female MOH but two male bridesmen (bridesmaids). My FHs party is all men. I was wondering if anyone had ideas on how to have them walk down the isle? Together with the groomsmen? or should they be one at a time? FH parents think we should have two separate isles like, do the ceremony in three sections my party on the left, his walks down the right, and one isle in the middle for me. Idk that seems like a pain in the butt to me. Not to mention as a guest I feel like you wouldn’t know where to look lol. Also should I have them hold anything? My MOH will have a bouquet and they’ll each have a boutonnière but I haven’t found anything that wouldn’t look awkward for them to hold. My bridemen are down for whatever, they’re just excited to fill the role. The groomsmen don’t have an issue with it either way.

I would have his guys stand up with him and your party walk the isle. This is what we did for a wedding I was in. I would not have them hold flowers though just in my opinion. But that is your call for sure

So just for clarification, the groomsmen all walked down first and then after they were standing, the brides side walked down?

I’m only having one bridesman but my plan was to have him walk the aisle with my bridesmaids. The groomsmen would walk separately and before my party walks down. I was just doing a boutonnière for my bridesman.

No so the groom and groomsmen came out from the side of the church and they all stood at the alter while the parents, flower girls and bridesmaids walked

I have a small party: MOH, bridesmaid, and bridesman. I’m going to have everyone walk down individually, since it’s not a big party so the wait won’t be super long. Won’t have him hold a bouquet. He’ll be treated the same as a groomsman, except he’s on my side of the altar.

I agree with you - I wouldn’t have your FH’s party walk down on the right while yours walk down on the left. I think it’ll confuse your guests more than anything. Lol

I'd have the best man and groomsmen stand beside the groom and then when you have your wedding party come down the aisle have them go down with a upbeat song and have them hold signs for your husband like "here she comes" "last chance to run" or something funny

I would just have them walk with the groomsmen, or have everyone walk individually.
Also I totally agree with PPs having three Isles sounds AWFUL. Also people will be really confused when they're looking for seats.

My FH cousin had a situation like this. His fiancé had her bridesmen walk down the isle just like the bridesmaids, however the groomsmen were already down standing by the groom, they didn’t walk with the bridesmaids, so it made it less awkward. I thought it looked nice and it worked fine.

I have a bridesman and my FH has a groomsmaid so they are just walking down together. However, before FH had settled on his party, we were just planning on having my bridesman walk down with a groomsman as a bridesmaid typically would. It’s also helpful that basically everyone from each side knows each other and we’re all really comfortable around each other. FH & I are also known for being goofballs, and my bridesman is hilarious- so something like that is definitely expected for us.
either way- our plan is to not take things too seriously because we aren’t super traditional people.
Regardless of what you decide, your wedding will be unforgettable!
