The order of the bridesmaids?

If we are talking about who is standing at the alter, I only had my MOH standing with me. If we are talking about order for processional, I had 4 BMs with groomsmen and 3 that walked alone so I alternated between the 2 (I also had the GMs escort DH's step-mother, grandmother, mother and my mom. I had 2 walk back and 2 roll out the aisle runner. The 2 that walked back first were the 2 to "walk" first. No one in the bridal party was in a relationship with another member of the wedding party. I paired everyone off the best way I could (whether it be height, age or something else). I had the BM that was mother to the FG be the last BM down the aisle and then MOH followed by FG and RB then my dad and I. Honestly, its so not a big thing, I have to look at the order of the pictures to be certain of the order and I know I don't remember the order of any other wedding I attended except those when I was a bridesmaid (and both times I set the order of who went when and there were less BMs then).

We are having our flower girl/ring bearer first, then two bridesmaids by age/height and then my sister & MOH last before me!

@Nattie that sounds like a whole 'nother issue. Like you had married/serious relationship people in the bridal party who's significant others weren't, right? I think it's weird to make a fuss about going down the aisle with someone who is not your wife if your wife is not in the bridal party. That makes no sense at all, I completely agree with you.

I've had my fiancé be in the bridal party when I was not and obviously he walked down the aisle with someone else. It was a little weird when they were introduced as a couple, were seated together and had a dance together and all that jazz but whateves. It comes with the territory of being a bridal party member's plus one.

Thanks for clarifying, everyone!

My ceremony logistics are already a clusterf*ck. We have uneven bridal parties, a dog as a ring bearer (no idea how he's getting down the aisle), and a 13 month old flower girl escorted by her mother (also an ex-bridesmaid-- on good terms-- who is probably doing a reading).

Is it the norm to have the wedding party dance together? I would be super uncomfortable if I had to do that in a wedding that I was in. I have just never heard of it, so I didn't know if it was a common thing.

We had: DH and our moms, my SIL & BIL, DHs BFF and GM, my sis & GM and then my MOH & BM RB and FG then me and my dad =)

we paired by BM and how long or close I was with them, my MOH then my sis and then DHs bff then my new SIL. guys were paired with girls from there

We did MOH/BM and then by height.

I put mine in order based on the amount of time I've known them kinda. My 2 MOH's are first( mom and best friend since we were 5), 3rd is SIL, 4th is my cousin, 5th is my roommate from college, 6th is my friend from college and 7th is my friend I've known for 4 years.

I am not into the whole height order thing. It reminds me of high school graduation. I am the tallest though so I could kinda do it but my bff is shorter than few other BM's and she would make it look weird.... so no.

MOH and BM first and then everyone else will stand according to height. My MOH will be married by my wedding, and her husband will be a groomsman. They won't be walking together. If she wasn't MOH I'd let her if she wanted to, but I think the MOH should walk with the BM.

We're doing it with who they are matched up with the groomsmen, and after family. FH had a very specific order that he wanted them in which meant my brothers were walking last and I had an issue with it so we changed it to BM and MOH, family first and who we paired them with, and then remainder friends, which is one for each of us.
