Grandparents at wedding

Perhaps there is another way she can be honored as a special person. Corsage?

Proper etiquette is what you want..

What exactly does your mother want? Are you close to your grandmother? Does she want your grandmother to be seated by the usher? Is your mother going to be seated by the usher?

Both of our grandparents have passed away, but at my sister's wedding, our grandmother was escorted down the aisle by one of our cousins and then both mom's were escorted by grandfathers. It was a nice way to honor them and really made our grandparents' day.

It's up to you, but I don't usually see them in the processional.

Aisle*

It's walking down an aisle, I would think that's not a huge deal. I'd probably do that if I still had a Grandmother, they have passed away now.

I've honestly never heard of that - my grandparents will not be walking down the aisle.

I first heard of this when someone else mentioned it on WW. Seems like a personal choice. I'm the only living grandchild so my nana treats me more like one of her children. When I asked FH how he felt about my uncle walking her down the aisle he said only if his could too. And so she will with his little brother!

ETA: a corsage would be a nice compromise and I believe is traditionally offered to grandmothers.

By all means, whether she's the only grandparent or not, she should be honored with at least a corsage. And yes- grandma can walk the aisle before your FH's mom and your mom walk. The grandmothers and mothers are the last to be seated before the wedding party starts. Some venues will play a special song for "seating of the mothers" to clue guests in that "we are starting"!!

Depends on your relationship with grandma. I think for that there is no clear cut etiquette. Maybe think of what cousins and siblings have done and do the same?

My family has always included great-grandparents and grandparents in the processional, but my family is extremely close like that! It's up to you to decide what works best for you!

It is traditional for grandparents to be escorted to a front row seat. This can either be done by a family member or an usher. At my ceremonies I see guests of honor seated right before the groom makes his entrance or directly after.

My grandma has since passed, but when my sister was married 6 years ago my older brother escorted her down right before the mothers.

Dad was walking me down the aisle and I didn't want to leave mom out. Grandma is the queen bee so I asked mom and grandma to walk down the aisle together. My husbands parents also walked.

Back when traditions were followed........... Both grandparents and parents processed before the wedding party.

Grandparents can be escorted down the aisle. I am not a fan of corsages.. so 50s. How about a wristlet or other flower arrangement?

Thanks all for suggestions. I will have her walk down the aisle

I think its a pretty old fashioned thing...but we are doing it, even though FH's maternal grandparents are the only one that will be attending. I think it's just a nice way of including them, but certainly not required and I honestly don't see it all that often. They will walk first, followed by FH parents, then my mom...then BP

I'm having my grandparents walk down the aisle, but you definitely don't have to. They're also each getting a corsage/boutineer.

Grandmothers are typically escorted in and seated just before the mothers and given a corsage. I've never been to a wedding where this wasn't done. Consider yourself lucky to have a living grandparent on your wedding day!
