Walking down the aisle

At 2 weddings I've been to, the groomsmen are were waiting at the front when the wedding officially begins and then the BMs walk down alone. After the ceremony was when the BMs and groomsmens walked together. At 2 others (1 of which was my best friend) the groomsmen escorted us (the bridesmaids) down the aisle. I think it all depends on what you want. I've seen it both ways and it never crossed my mind to wonder about why it wasn't done a certain way.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! If you are getting married in a church, they may have a certain way they like things. Otherwise, you should be able to arrange your processional however you would like. You have several options. You may have the officiant and groomsmen be in place before the music begins for the bridesmaids. You may have the music begin as the officiant and groomsmen walk in. Or, you may have the groomsmen escort the bridesmaids. You may also choose to have the same piece for everyone, or have more than one selection. Just something to think about... If you have a song for the groomsmen only, your processional may end up a bit choppy. It usually only takes a couple of seconds for the men to enter. Of course if you are looking to make a statement - by all means - use the Star Wars theme. Good luck!

This is always the couples choice for my ceremonies; not mine. There is no "proper etiquette" on this.

I am having the groomsmen walk the moms and grandmas to their seats in the front row and the girls walk down alone then they walk out together I think its personal preference we want our wedding to be unique and our own like u so they will walk down to diff songs

I think that would make your wedding fun and interesting. I have seen weddings where they come together and seperate, so the 'look' wouldn't be wierd.

I've always seen it down where either the groomsmen are already up front or they escort the bridesmaids in. I'm going w/the later. When the groomsmen were already up there, they didn't walk down the aisle, they generally entered from a side door but it can be anything you like! my FMIL is INTENSE on her idea of tradition so I'm picking and choosing my battles there, lol. I think having the boys walk out to that would be FUN and DIFFERENT! the only thing is, you don't want to make the procession too long- are you sure your girls wouldn't get into it? I think that be fun.

Hmm, maybe they wouldn't mind...the song the guys like is 3 minutes long, so that would work. If not, we could start playing it just as they are done seating the moms...at our rehearsal we will have to figure it out. Thanks everyone!
