What is the order everyone walks out?

samantha , on March 1, 2017 at 12:26 PM Posted in Planning 0 10

This might me a weird question but I've been lurking and haven't found my answer. I'm curious. What is the order that everyone walks for ceremony. Obviously I know my dad and I are last. But does FH walk first? Does he even walk down the aisle or is he supposed to already be at alter before ceremony starts? Then is it BM/GM ring bearer, flower girl? I'm confused. Please help. Thanks

    This is really a matter of personal choice but traditionally it would be the groom then the bridal party then you and your dad. However you can do it any way you please, have the groom waiting with him GM's and only your BM's walk, no one walk but you, whatever pleases you and your FH.

    I think (and I could be wrong), the groom walks out after the officiant, escorting his mom. Then the groomsmen alone, or groomsmen and bridesmaids together (with the BM and MoH last), then the ring bearer, then flower girl, and then the bride. I've seen people do so many variations of this though.

    This is personal choice as far as I know. My FH and his men will be up there with him already, minus the junior groomsmen(our nephews). They will be escorting their grandma's up the aisle (FH's mom and my mom) and then we will have the BMs go down one by one, flower girl and then me and my dad. On the way out, I will pair up GM and BM.

    This is a guide I found on pinterest a while ago.

    More than half of my grooms prefer to start from the standing position and not make an entrance. We quietly make our way to the ceremony space and signal the beginning of the services. Best wishes!

    There are tons of options. I recently looked it up and everything I saw said that the MOB signaled the start of the wedding by going first. Seemed odd to me but I guess that's proper. I think you can do whatever you want.

    MOB is the last guest seated. MOG is the second to the last guest seated.

    For our ceremony, the groom and best man will walk out with the officiant. Cue the music. 1. Groom's dad and step mom, 2. Groom's mom escorted by a groomsman, 3. Bride's mom escorted by a groomsman, 4. Bridesmaids, individually (3 girls), 5. Bride and father. The rest of the family will be seated. It's only a 50 person wedding so I didn't want more than immediate family and BP in the processional.
