Ceremony Order - 2 Maids of Honor

Is your groom walking in the processional? I went to a wedding where the groom and best man were already at the altar waiting. So if that’s an option it could be like each of the maids of honor walk alone or together and then the other six party members paired up

Are you planning to have bridesmaids and groomsmen walk together in the processional or just the recessional? I don't think that who escorts the MOH makes them stand out any more or less, so if you have even numbers, just match the second MOH with whoever is standing second closest to your FH. No one is going to think "well, she's walking with a groomsman and not the best man so she must be a bridesmaid." If you want ways to make the maids of honor stand out, have them wear a different dress or carry a different/larger bouquet.

I was thinking about that, but realized it would still be uneven because if the groom and the best man were already at the altar and then the maids of honor walk alone or together that still leaves 6 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen, so there is one extra groomsman without a bridesmaid to pair with

Oh woops sorry aha misread that there were 8 altogether in the groom's party. in that case the last groomsman could probably just walk with the two maids of honor?

Thank you!! This actually helped a lot, I think I was getting in my head about it so I guess I just needed someone to reassure me that it would be weird having a MOH walk with a groomsman

What if you have the groomsmen enter from the side, and just the bridesmaids process in to the ceremony down the aisle?

That way you could have 3 sets of bridesmaids walk 2 at a time, and then each MOH walks in individually! You could also do bigger or different color bouquets for your maids of honor to help them stand out! 💐

I had a maid of honor (my sister) and a matron of honor (my sister in-law), but didn't do anything differently with them for the processional or recessional! All my bridesmaids walked down the aisle one by one, and walked out on the arm of a groomsman or usher!

I would just have the second one walk with the groomsmen. I don't think who they walk with makes them stand out. If you want them to stand out have them wear a different dress or carry a different bouquet.

My friend had a matron of honor and a maid of honor at her wedding. We were just the last ones to come up the aisle. As the maid of honor, I walked with the best man and the matron of honor walked with her husband who was a groomsman.
I don’t think that we needed anything special during the ceremony and we both gave speeches at the reception.

First, depends on your processional to begin with. Most people have the groom and best man and groomsmen go to the front, usually from a side door not the main aisle. So only the brides people, and bride and escort come down the aisle. You may have MOH dressed differently, or come one at a time while BM come in pairs if you want. Leaving, the recessional, people usually leave 2 at a time,, so it takes less time, with odd numbers a single at the end. But only the bride and groom are a couple. Two BM may walk side by side, or 2 GM, or paired BM/ GM. However you like. There is no need for boy/girl pairs walking. Like classmates, or team mates, any 2 together is fine, 1 at the end (trios only in very wide aisles.) Often wedding parties have different numbers of men and women and they pair off any way you want, or they want.

I have a bridesmaid, MOH and 1 best man. The best man will wait with my FH and the girls will walk by themselves and then for the recessional, one will walk by themselves or the BM will just walk with both down the aisle.

The way they walk won’t make them stand out. Have one walk with the best man and the other with a groomsman. Include who is who on your wedding website and let them both make speeches if you’re doing speeches. My SIL had two MOHs, and they each introduced themselves as “co-Maid of Honor” at both her shower and at the wedding.
